I do strict hanging leg raises a few times a week.

I'd recommend upping your ab game...your lower back will be prone to getting tweaked with a weak core. ESPECIALLY if you have a desk job sitting 40hrs. a week and sitting on a balancing ball or something. I've upped mine and I don't get it anymore. Twinks who don't do heavy squats or carry heavy weights don't have this issue. Maybe some ab wheels or dragonfly's in there since you can do an advanced ab workout like leg raises. :dame:

I have tight hip flexors and hammies.

Hurt my lower back again setting up for dumbbell bench yesterday. Picking anything up from the floor doesn’t agree with my lower right side. Taking it easy for a week. Been massaging my piriformis muscle which has helped. Also going to see a chiropractor to see why this shyt keeps happening.
Are your hamstrings and glutes constantly tight? Even regular walking is painful on the lower back?
I did all the stretching stuff and foam roller stuff to try to release muscle tightness in piriformis, hamstring, lower back, glutes, quads. Tried everything from youtube by athlean-x and others. It was all temporary. Tightness came back the next morning.

Monday during Jujitsu Class I was rolling with one of the Best Brown Belts on The Planet he just won The IBJJF World's in we was In the Standing Clench and I took a step and I hear Snap, Crackle and Pop:damn:

I think I tore my Meniscus, I was in pain, my knee shift and it's pain, I know this feeling because I slightly tore it before:mjcry:

I got x rays but that don't show shyt, so tommorow I go to a Knee specialist and get a MRI

If it a torn meniscus I have to stop my 5/3/1 program

:ufdup: but I'm still training in the gym, I live this Warrior shyt, All my weight lifting will be seated, and I will rehab my knee with light leg extension and leg presses

See my power lifting coach told me you going to have injuries and you going to have to learn how to train around them

And in Brazilian Jujitsu, I'm still going to go, I will sitting in class watching and learning and might do the technique part

I have no pain walking. But if I bend over (:dame:) without stabilizing myself with my hand it hurts on my right side.

Dem feels when you get to that dark point in the cut.... where the hunger starts yelling louder.... and you can't hold a pump :mjcry:

Thank God I have a little muscle and vascularity.... def looking flat, not able to perform how I want in the gym, just hanging in there. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Somehow I love this shyt :why:
