Why does my lower back seem to start hurting when doing pushups?

i get to about the 15th pushup or somethin and my lower back starts to hurt, is it just the pressure from the pushups or what?

thanks guess i probably was leanin my back in or wahtever.. i'll stop doing them thanks.

Stop with the pushups...this is very old fashioned thinking..Your lower back is supporting far too much weight in pushups, and the pain is telling you that it is not strong enough to do what you are demanding it do. You obviously are developing a sway-back form in doing the push ups....arch your back more and the pain will not happen. But, pushups are a very non-specific form of excercise, hits all the wrong places, and your back is one of them. Good luck
