My back is better, I suffer a bit the day after a hard workout but already on the second day I feel better
I always have a bit of stiffness in my right lower back but I think stretching does me good, so I'm confident I can solve the problem with stretching and strengthening.

Yesterday I started adding some mobility and standing abs to my light late afternoon workout:
Standing Core Workout
It's a good warmup for the following stretching and a good mobility exercise for the well-being of my back which is my priority in this period
