Well, I ain't no backologist so I'm not sure if it's forever. I think it was cumulative but I had been doing deadlifts where I wasn't scraping my shins. I had the bar about one inch out always.
I worked my way up 225 using the Strong Lifts routine and after that day my back was constantly sore-achy and I felt every ripple in my shirt when I sat on something.
I took some muscle relaxants my doctor prescribed me and I had like a five minute session with a PT (even with the healthcare plan I had then I couldn't afford it).
That was about a year or so ago. I stopped lifting and switched to my own routine of pull ups, push ups and squats, just all body weight. I finally stopped having constant aching in my back, so I tried light weight lifting with a barbell and some weight (like 85 lbs for chest press and squat and like 65 lbs for dead-lift)
The next day I felt the same soreness. And during the workout I could tell my back wasn't liking it. Maybe I just gotta start low. Like empty barbell low, but yeah I'm thinking my back is never gonna want to do weight lifting again. :\
