Deadlifts and injury recovery

I had a question for you.  I tweaked my lower back doing Fran on Monday (I assume during the clean as it pains me to bend over/forward or do a hula hoop movement with my hips). I haven't been working out since Monday's workout and am scheduled to do the open tomorrow and the combine on Saturday.  I'm contemplating skipping tomorrow and Friday as well to focus on my back being up and running by Saturday. In the meantime, do you have any recommendations on how to expedite the healing of this pain? Any exercises I should be doing?

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I recently tweaked both my back and neck as a result of exercise. I found that coming into the gym then focusing on moving well but very carefully actually helped me to recover expediently. Now, this is an n=1 experiment, so I can't say it will necessarily work exactly the same way for you. Let your coach know what's bothering you so they can suggest scaling and don't be afraid to hold back. 

As to anything specific, I don't have much. I suggest taking it easy, partition a few specific times to focus on stretching and moving and otherwise let it be. 

One more thing, kudos for knowing what fucked you up. I say all the time while teaching deadlift and it's worth mentioning now:

1. When you're holding a barbell you are performing a lift which has an inherent risk of injury. Stay focused, don't get sloppy or distracted.

2. Keep the bar close (over your center of gravity), all the time. When a barbell gets away from you you introduce variables that will too often cause injury.
