So my trainer insisted on me trying out barbell good mornings about 4 weeks ago, I have only done them once before and if i did anything it would be on the good morning bodyweight stand thingy you rest against. These always gave me one hella back pump and never felt good. I compete in powerlifting and pull mid 700s, so i figured good mornings should be easy, started with the bar and moved to 90lbs. on the 90lb set my back got real tight and pumped feeling, stopped and went onto competition bench ( I got a big arch). Well my arch felt like crap and had a horrible workout. the next day i woke up and could barely stand up and major fire in my lower back when moving around. Went to Chiropractor and got x-rays, turns out i had a bulging disk, not herniated.
I've been getting adjusted and such ever since. I am back to doing normal activities but every morning i wake up with a tight lower back. also in the mornings after a light workout the pain kinda shows back up very slightly on the left side deep in the middle of my body, more like the front of the spine where that muscle that goes over your leg connects (idk the name). But it fades as the day goes on.
How long could it take for me to get back to normal? I am stayign real protective of my back in the gym and continuing getting adjusted. I have a few meets coming up (feb-march ish) that I'd like to compete in.
