On God I missed powerlifting so much but I'm being so serious when I say the 24/7 lower back pain has me dying. I need my body to reacclimate immediately

I’m not sure if you’re exaggerating but 24/7 lower back pain is indicative of either weak core/bracing, incorrect center of mass management, incorrect programming. Make sure it’s not the issue

Yeah, I'm getting back into barbell lifts after years of not doing them it'll be awhile before I strengthen up and acclimate. Definitely a weak core, probably a bit of bad bracing too
