Wtf am I doing wrong?
Deload. Do core isometrics. Learn to squat with a neutral spine. Stop grinding out maximal sets. If your technique breaks down or isn't smooth or you're dancing with failure on the last rep, you're going too heavy. More reps at less weight is better than less reps at more weight. You're better off starting over at an unloaded bar and working up 5 lbs at a time each sesh than trying to keep hurting yourself with loads you can't recover from causing asymmetrical inflammation in your soft tissues.
If your form is good and you're experienced with the weight, next thing to check is that your quads aren't imbalancing your hamstrings and glutes. Having (comparatively) weak glutes and hams will give you atrocious lower back pain. Add hyperextensions to your routine, treat them like you would crunches and this will unfrick you. For glutes, try widening your squat stance and go lower. All this advice will fix "email job back" too
Forgot to add that you should do some good mornings with just the bar before hitting squats, it helped me.
Also, try actually activating glutes by rotating knees outward. With good bracing and a tight upper back, it keeps good pressure that ensures 'neutral' back posture.

I have tight hamstrings, would warming them up with exercises like you mentioned help?
>It's almost like regularly loading your spine with heavy weight is bad
You're doing that whether or not the weight is on your back and you are standing.
You are most likely involving your lower back in the lift meaning you are also pushing the weight up by moving your back. The angle you make with your back at the top of the squat should remain the same throughout the entire lift
Try elevating your heels by standing on plates. It helps you reach depth without bending forward, which will keeps the bar path straight and not place so much pressure on your lower back. If you think it looks DYEL, consider that Sam Sulek squats 5 plates or so like this.
Not enough warm up.
Poor form, possibly a butt wink.
Poor mobility, goes hand with hand with the previous one.
Overuse injury.
Weak core.
Compressed nerves.
Very likely a combination of several.
ur lower back is weak maybe idk
Probably the squats.
You're doing squats.
This
Why people still do these dangerous exercises (heavy squat, deadlift)? When shit hits the fan you'll regret it for life man. Many such cases.
Do more and heavier FRONT squats.
It's your form at the bottom, front squats will force you into the proper form. Remember, elbows up up up.
Front squats are the fastest way to snap city if you already have back problems

poor bracing, could also be a case of just not used to lower back DOMs
ego lifting homosexual
'But I'm not' you most likely are.

Nothing, you're just paying the price for doing meme exercises.
Do front squats for a month or so. They'll strengthen your abs so that they can help take strain off your lower back when you do back squats.
Youre not bracing correctly or you're not squatting correctly
It's almost like regularly loading your spine with heavy weight is bad. Strange.

lifting too much
drop weight and focus on form or keep on trucking to snap city
use the legpress squatting is gymcel/reddit
learn how to brace properly and strengthen your back. learn how to front squat too, will help you stay upright when back squatting
>do snatch-grip deadlifts
>lower back feels amazing for days afterwards
many such cases

what did he mean by this
Keep your core tight and push your knees out to the side HARD. It should be a little uncomfortable.

>another homosexual who doesn't stretch his ql muscles
Just learned about those from your post literally
How do I stretch those
Do skateboard squats if you must but I would drop squats for now. Remember Jay Cutler didnt train legs for years.
