so ive been doing squats for legs and i noticed that my back gets tight . is that because of the weight . my back feels great but once i reach the third set my back is super tight, should i ease on the weight.

Are you running any gear right now? Could be back pumps...

Otherwise it could be knots in your glutes, weakness in the hips, loose upper back or any number of issues related to bad form.

If you want some help shoot me a PM with a vid. Side view and front view. I'll give you some feedback.

You definitely might be leaning a little too forward during the process.
