From the Community
I'm glad I found the comment before my back gave out. It's natural for the pelvis to drop and bend slightly according to the motion, but because of the term "stiff," I was trying to hold it up, and my posture ended up getting really messed up. 😢
View full discussion →normal for lower back to be sore if first time ,drive at your heals also you could possibly be lifting to much weight hence lower back pain.try with lower weight and more reps and gradually add weight once you think your form is good enough. Also try belt and pull wrist straps.
