Strained Lower Back/Hips, Okay to Train Upper Body?

[The_Hammer]

Just a quick question because I can't decide whether to train tonight. 

Last night I strained my lower back and hips during squats.

Is it okay to train delts and triceps if I wear a belt tonight?

Strained lower back deadlifting few days ago. Ok today, did chest/delts/abs.

I recommend hitting some hypers with no weight just 14 15 reps to get some blood in the area and then prayer strectches. Hold the stretch for at least 45 seconds repeat until your lower back/hips feel good. Otherwise you will be in constant pain grabbing dumbells, reaching down to grab your water etc like I was.

Thanks for the advice.

Probably except I wouldnt do rear lateral raises since you're bent over or even anything that would involve bending over to grab heavy dumbells like dumbell shoulder press

I do my rear delts on the pec deck and I stand up. Makes body positioning SO much easier, and zero strain on my back.
