In painful condition of back don't try to self stretch your muscles. It can be harmful for your back, as you told due to heavy lifting this problem arises so muscles are already in spasm or back strain. Heavy weight lifting with incorrect position of spine puts lots of pressure on back, muscles unable to cope with this increased load and protect themselves from major injury, they got tight or stiff. Firstly you relax your back and pain relief by taking physiotherapy treatment for one week after that back stretching exercises with advice of qualified physio.
