The frequent comments on here about hamstrings are interesting to me. I have started stretching my hams more lately, as a response to pes anserine bursitis rather than back pain, but I also think it has helped my back. I don't squat over about 120, doing lots of reps at that weight though.
Three supersets of 30 back extensions and 20 pushups tonight after rollers - changing my routine for a more advanced base. That felt really good.
I used to do straight legged deadlifts, which are of course done with a straight back. I haven't done them since overdoing it and having a knee scoped. Very best thing for hamstrings ever, though. Thoughts?
