I would like to know the answer to this one also because I have the same problem. The only things that have ever helped are massage for when it's really bad, and a chiropractor once a month :yes:.

try doin somethin similar to a hamstring stretch, standing and bending over, but with your chin to your chest, that has help sometimes, or laying on your back and kicking your feet over your head so your knees are at your shoulders or farther (might not want to do this in front of someone you dont wanna get embarrassed infront of :dazed: ) hope that helps

I would try stretching your quads a lot. One of our strength trainers is an amateur competitor in the World's Strongest Man competitions and he stretches our quads while putting a lot of weight into it and it seems to help my low back a lot.
