i used to weightlift in the past and was had a lower back injury that recovered after a month, but never fully got back into weightlifting.
recently, i wanted to get back in weightlifting and purchased a platform, olympic bar, plates, squat rack and so on, and started training.
first month, I took it easy, only stretching, and light overhead squats, and cleans.
everything seemed fine. yesterday, I was doing the same routine. ( i have a super tight lowerback and i make sure to stretch it well), and while cleaning 40kg, as i was jumping, i felt a sharp shock in my back, which made me fall. Went to the hospital did an x-ray and they told me its a pulled muscle (strain). I have hard time moving, and the pain is still there.
I've been depressed since. if 40 kgs did this, how am i ever going to get back to training. I feel like i should give up.. idk what to do, or what i did wrong.
