If your lower back can't take a light jog - you may want to stick to 225 max squat as well... something isn't properly aligned in there it sounds like. Stretching can usually get it right though - I was given 4 pages of specific stretches for my sciatica pain - 20 mins before and after bed - fixed my bulging disc good as new... but it depends on of course on severity etc....

I look for natural movement when ppl lift - if it looks forced at all or unnatural at all I think it's unsustainable and potential for injury.
