My back spasms subsided and I’m back in the gym.  The rest and meds made me better.  I just have to remember to warm up before any heavy back work and use strict form for heavy stuff.  It does shake your confidence a little when things break.  But your body is very resilient and much smarter at healing than you think.  Taking an uscheduled layoff is a bummer.  But it’s probably for the best.  I think you reboot and then can hammer away and grow even more.   

Used poor form on a deadlift with moderate, not heavy, weight, and, yes, hurt my lower back.  It’s feeling better but will set me "back" a little.  Doc gave me muscle relaxer and prednisone to speed recovery.  Oh, well, I should take a week layoff anyway.
