I've been fighting strained lower back muscles for around three months now. It doesn't bother me a ton when I'm not lifting, or doing certain exercises during WOD's during CrossFit, but some lifts/exercises really will make my lower back tighten up to the point of being really uncomfortable during my WOD's and for about 10-15 minutes afterwards.

Are there any peptides/peptide stacks that will help me heal up. I know the best course of action is to avoid the lifts that tighten up my lower back, but that's hard to do. I would really like to get this lower back thing taken care of as it's really being a pain in the arse at times.

BPC-157 was a total waste for me, no apparent impact.

Are you doing the simple things like turning on your seat heaters on the way to/from workouts? No matter the temp, 4/5 workouts I'm doing this for prep/cooldown and it seems to have helped a lot.

I never had luck with BPC 157/TB 500 either. I assume you've been through stretching and mobility routines with no luck?

Maybe the issue is further down in your hips. Try some ATG split squats and elevated pigeons to stretch the front and back of the hips. If you've been stretching and it isn't working then maybe your low back needs to be strengthened. Look up trap 3 raises

Nope, and anyone who tells you about their miraculous peptide-fueled recovery is suffering from placebo delusions.

There’s no peptide that can counteract crossfit

Peptides aren’t going to magically heal your back. Something is wrong and the tightness is an indication of that. You need to improve your backs ability to handle your daily life and workouts and quit straining it. Go see a PT to see what’s up.

Dry needling with electrical stimulation is the only thing that unlocked my low back when it tightened up. I battled it for 2 years and tried everything

Know your source and you have to take it long enough.
My nephew was supposed to miss his senior year of fb when he torn his ACL in his knee his last game his JR year.
He took it and the Dr was astounded at how fast his recovery went. The Dr. Didn't agree or disagree but im certain ot healed him a little bit faster.

It was a few years ago from peptide sciences, could have been shite idk. Didn't test it but I'm sure there's a reason they shut down

I used BPC for elbow tendonitis. It worked in about 2 weeks. For your back I would suggest a Physical Therapist that works with athletes. Piriformis stretches do wonders also.

Jesus Christ man... Aspirin and water before bed.

Lighten the lifts and exercise the muscles.

Blood in. Blood out.

Someone suggested Reverse Hypers and got a couple of downvotes. I just want to expand on that topic a little bit.

Reverse Hypers are a fantastic exercise to rehab a lumbar strain. It isn't a good exercise to start out with. Lumbar strains are an absolute pain. I would suggest you start doing simple exercises like supermans, planks, and static holds against gravity that engage those lumbar muscles. When those become easy and don't cause you pain anymore start doing exercises like hyperextensions and unsupported rows. Again, start light and increase in intensity when that pain goes away. When that pain is gone, then start on those Reverse Hypers. RH is a fantastic exercise, but it should be used mid/late rehab and is excellent for maintaining a healthy low back.

Hope this helps

ETA: And of course, this is on top of any other exercises/stretching that can help, i.e. stretching hamstrings, hipflexors, etc...

Ab workouts are the last thing you want to do for lower back pain.
