In my first years of training I always went balls to the wall, doing stupid things like grinding reps and going to failure on every single set. But I suppose training the same exercises over and over again also had something to do with it too. Now I feel discomfort center-right upper back after rows sometimes, but the worst injury was while doing squats and it's quite interesting because I didn't use to train squats a lot.
One night I was doing sets(squats) with 90 kg and on the second set I felt something wrong and I stopped. It didn't hurt, just a lot of discomfort. About 4 days after that I decided to do weighted lunges instead of squats. I used light weight and was doing 12-15 reps. On the third set going down I felt a sharp pain in my right lower back-buttock. I went to sit down but it didn't go away so I put my weights back and decided to lie in bed. When I woke up next morning it was even worse. I couldn't get up in a "full crunch" position cuz it felt like someone was putting needles in my ass-back. Fortunatelly the sharp pain went away in about 2-3 days and after 6 days I started training again with some discomfort during the session and prolonged soreness + a lil pain the next days in that spot. One month and a half or so I even felt little pain when walking for long periods too.
It's been 3 years since then and after squats, deadlifts (not so much) and mainly any exercises that involves lifting something I still get the same faint pain/discomfort/bad soreness few days after. What's most interesting is that if I stop training I feel like a new man like I never injured myself. I can run, bike and I don't feel anything.
If anyone of you suffered something similar and maybe they fixed it(or not) please share your story with us!
