Would you guys say there is a way to recognise if lower back pain is pumps or an injury?
I have this thought every time i get bad pumps from squatting or deadlifting.
Im sure my form is ok, if anything its a little over protective and probably costs me a few KGs as my mind is on the position of my back/chest/shoulders more than anything and i see an osteopath periodically as a precaution so im happy that ive not hurt my back, but i was wondering IF a back injury occured is it clearly different from back pumps.

I think it can be difficult to make a distinction between the two when you are training, unless it's a really bad pain.
If your back is hurting you outside of the gym, then it's more than likely not just pump.

Back pumps so bad that you can't stand after a session? Or real distinguishable pain?

By the time im out of the gym and ive done a couple of exercises that give my back the chance to 'de-pump' its fine and i get no back pain outside the gym, but sometimes when its painful and i push on saying to myself 'man up, its just back pumps' it worries me that if it was a proper injury pushing on could be a big mistake.

speaking from my experiance this week. back pump is just that a tightness . Back pain is a lot more painfull and its a different pain. I think you just know when the good pain stops and the bad pain starts.
The heat/ibroprofen works well. I also used cold spray last nigh and radian b muscle rub is also good at keeping the are warm and loose

The physios may correct me , but in my experience any flaw in your form can cause a tiny injury that just gets worse and worse over time until it becomes a real problem.
Hve your back checked out by a chiro /physio . For £25 its well worth it
