The waking up moment happens to a lot of newish lifters. It's easy to ignore proper form and mobility without having directly experienced the consequences. When you're back and healed, I'd deload the weights significantly so you can work on ideal form. Plus, add in some mobility work if you're not already doing it.
Ultimately, it's up to you, but the best way to heal an injury is to actually rest. You'll just be prolonging the recovery period if you continue to try and lift around your injury. A back injury affects all your lifts whether you like it or not.

I wanted to get a belt but didn't want to until I started squating heavy so I don't become too reliant, but I think I just need to go ahead and cop one. Did you wait till you were somewhat healed? My squat max is prolly like 385-405
I think I rounded my back when I was doing 365 on Sunday and that caused it, because same thing happened to me last year.

Wed is a chest/back day for me so I'm gonna do light weights to see how I feel. When I tweaked my back last year it hurt to walk and stuff, right now it's just an annoying feeling when I move certain ways

I rock a belt for anything over 315lb for squats.
Deads, and shrugs automatic on.
Collapsed vertebrae in my lower back years ago from FB, I play no chances.
I do enough core exercises to keep my core strong.

True I'm not trying to be a power lifter or anything just tryna be massive and shredded. Is it worth the bread to get one of these high end competition belts or any will do?

I bought one of BB.com. Gasp brand, regular price was like $75, or so. Had a coupon that reduced it to $55.
I'd probably just get a belt, but I'd make sure it's leather. I've tried those velcro/cloth ones... And I don't trust em.

I put the belt on the next day once I realized my back was really jacked up
I used to shun belts too, but ive learned my lesson, and pride isnt worth the injury.

Homie used to run track not cc
He does have supreme genetics tho, he's actually fast and was ripped before he decided to become a bodybuilder
But I never thought he was natural, homies metabolism is dumb fast, he would have to eat like a carnivorous elephant to get to the size he got to in the time span it took him to get that size and stay as lean as he did

not a DR, but rest, ice, stretch, get a foam roller, etc ..
i dont know how it'd work with your back, but "RICE"

Listen to your body and go with your gut
Havin that eye of the tiger attitude is what's up, but you don't want it to take forever to heal
It's a little different, but back in 2010 I pinched my sciatic nerve and it took a full year to recover because I was bein a knucklehead and kept hoopin/liftin without doctors prescribed resting time and stretch regiment
To this day I still have minor pain in my right booty cheek for not resting right and what not

I might skip cardio tonight and rest and just use machines/seated workouts until I heal
As for inzer I hear their customer service sucks, I'm gonna order from bestbelts hear nothing but good things about them. I'm probably gonna get a troll color like line green or pink, come at me

I'm gonna ask if they can seriously, I'm probably gonna cop mid next month when I get some extra bread. I'm gonna try and do some low intensity cardio tonight depending how I feel after I lay down and take a nap, and I'm gonna just do some machine work and alternate exercises until I feel better.

Not using a belt has honestly been the best thing for my back

Time to blast these legsss
I had some soreness a while back. So I just stopped doing deads/squats for like 2-3 weeks. I did leg press and other leg workouts on machines and worked out my core. I would suggest to do the same for a while. I just did squats yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks and it was my strongest ever.
You don't want to mess up your back while you are still young so it's not worth it to rush it when you have soreness.
