I don't think you got too strong too fast. You must have done something wrong. I've experienced massive strength boosts a few times, seemingly out of nowhere, and I was never injured. I know how hard to push myself, though. Anyway, about the 'roids, I seem them as cheating. If you use them, you're p...

Proper nutrition before and after a workout can help a lot, as well as warming up thoroughly before hand, cooling down after (including stretching). Also, if you're sore, try some light cardio or something. Light bike riding or something like that, just to make your heart work a little more. That se...

Posterior rotation of the pelvis causes an increase in flexion at he lumbosacral junction and hence increases tension in the thoracolumbar fascia. Lumbar spine flexion also passively i...

If you can't do the full sets of that weight, just lower the weight and continue working with it. Eventually you'll get stronger and you'll move back up to 125 lbs and you'll be able to do the full sets. Honestly, going heavier and only doing a few sets is easier (for me at least). I have wonderful ...
