Sometimes you just have to back off the gas. Im not over joyed about backing off the LBBS but needs must. My pain is here (yellow circle on pic) so potentially lat, lower trap or posterior serratus. And flates up once weights get to around 70%

Ive got a similar thing at the moment, lats feel like they are cramping or spasming hard as i descend in a squat, hence why my descents have been quite slow lately.
