Dwight left this advice on another thread, and since he's in Joisy this weekend (I think) he may not see this, so I'll pass it on.

Well Ed, I'd take that bet...but only if you see this and immediately get on the floor on your back, bend your knees to your chest with you arms around those knees for 30 seconds. And then with you shoulder-blades square to the floor, cross your right leg over your left, and bend them both to the left and hold for 15 seconds, and then do the opposite leg crossover and bend them to the right for 15 seconds. Repeat this complete process a total of 10 times.
And you must do this every morning and every night.
These are the stretches my chiropractor taught me to do after my lower back "went out" the first time, right after I turned 50, five years ago. And I say the "first time" because I often fail to follow his advice, unfortunately.
I haven't tried it myself, but I regularly train with weights so don't really have any problems there.
