I don't think I was, I was doing Starting Strength, so if it was too heavy, it would have been by 1 kilo or so. I doubt it, though, because I had plateaued at the time, so I just lifted around the same weight every time.

I wasn't overly exerted, I had done the lift many times with a straight back, etc, something just "popped" during one of the lifts, and my back hurt like hell for weeks, and nowadays that injury comes back once a year or so and renders me unable to move for a few days.

That's a shame. Hopefully you've been able to resume your workouts? If at a very light level, it could help put things back in place.

I have a shoulder injury which means I'm struggling to get past 40-45kg on my press. However I'm happy to just keep doing it and terminate at first sense of a twinge; After doing this for a long time it now seems ready to go up a bit.

No, I quit after a while for not very related reasons. I play tennis nowadays, which is much more enjoyable. According to my PT, what you're doing is what one is supposed to be doing, so that's good. I'm sorry to hear about your injury, though, I hope you recover!
