BeamofTheTurtle Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 So, bad news first: I hurt my back. Again. Yesterday while squatting, I lost concentration during one of my reps, due to a really shitty day overall- and I knew it then- I'd fucked up. I was fine, walked it off, stretched a tiny bit- and figured I could go on. I did, and it was magnificent. But, goodness- I'm paying for it this morning. I don't know if maybe I slept on it wrong, good possibility because I didn't sleep very well, or if I really did mess it up with that squat. Anyway, my lower back is screaming at me, and bending over is out of the question. I'm in denial, a tiny bit, and am trying to tell myself maybe I just worked those muscles out. Maybe during my kickass deadlift?! Other news:I've decided to switch my gym days to 6 days a week. 3 days cardio intensive, 3 days lift. BEST news:275lbs on my Deadlift. I think that's it though. My absolute max without a belt. So, I'll be looking into one of those shortly. Diet:I've slipped a few times, but I'm focused again.Water:Still good.Mental/emotional:Ha. I'm barely hanging on. Until next time. Quote Gunslinger in TrainingBattle Log"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed" Link to comment
crash3400 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 ok, first - 275lb DL? get it. and get a belt. seriously, badass. but don't forget to rest. don't quit, but acknowledge what hurts and take it easy. you are not invincible - and i know how it feels to admit that. despite being a total beast, don't ignore that your body still needs rest. it'll bomb you mentally and physically if you don't allow yourself to recoup. remember what my doctor said - if it hurts, don't do it and don't make me call for backup, stretch! don't let tweaking something get you down though. celebrate the hell out of your victories, you deserve it!

erosan Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 oh Beam, you need to take care of yourself while you heal. even if that means not lifting for a couple of days, ok?
