    Is it possible to hyperextend the back to much during a squat to the point of where damage could be done? I keep a very tight arch in my back when i'm squatting and a solid core but after the last session I did, my back has been a bit sore for a while and its not doms sore.

    I'm going to the nuig physio about it aswell but i'd like to know if hyperextension of the back can cause bodily harm to an individual? I am not seeking medical advice as the physio will be giving me that, I just want to know if the above is true?

    Sounds like you need some HTFU cream...we use it a fair bit with newbies and advanced lifters at Informed Performance.

    I thought I already answered this question.
