Same for me, deadlifts and squats (with good form) kept away my lower back pain. One caveat, when I first started there was a bit of a learning curve on how to get core bracing and posture right, and bad form made my back a bit sore.
Unfortunately in the current virus situation the gym is out and my place isn't suitable for weight training. I'm starting some bodyweight exercises but they don't seem to help my back like the weight training did.
- PaulHoule 6y agoThe most efficient kind of exercise to relieve low back pain involve bending backwards, such as the Cobra pose in Yoga https://www.dummies.com/health/exercise/yoga/how-to-do-the-cobra-pose-in-yoga/ https://www.dummies.com/health/exercise/yoga/how-to-do-the-c...

Cobra and the exercises from that book are easy to do at home but I like the bioenergetic arch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=225tAQzCVhs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=225tAQzCVhs because it is standing and you can do it anywhere, just please wear better clothes than the guy in that video.
- jacksonkmarley 6y agoHmmm, I don't doubt that those exercises may be helpful for many people, but I have tried a lot of stretches for my back, including those, and have never felt much relief. For some reason lifting weights was much more effective for me.
- lottin 6y agoYes, the squat if not done correctly can be bad for you back. Strangely I've never had a problem doing deadlifts with a degree of lumbar flexion, but I keep pinching a nerve in my lower back while doing squats.
