Hows the back today?

I'll let you know when I buy the ticket!

My back was starting to do better, and then I suckered into doing some camping. I spent last night up in the mountings camping in 6 feet of snow, the low was 10F (12C), and the wind was blowing at 60MPH (97KPH). Plus, I had to sleep on lumping, poorly packed, snow.

I'd have been fine if my back wasn't already fucked up.

I don't think I'm going to workout until Monday.

Like I told Sam, it was going well, but now I'm all kinds of fucked up. I'm hoping that I'll be good enough to go on Monday.

Not so good. One of the crappy things about throwing a muscle in your back is that your body tries to compensate by using other muscles (glutes, hips, upper back). These end up hurting like a bitch after a couple of days. My whole posterior chain is shit.

You need to be careful with that back man. I'd stop deadlifting and squatting for a while, if not permanently.

Yeah, i know what you mean. When i pulled mine out, because i had tight hams anyway they sorta took over from the lower back and pulled everything out of whack even more.

You're seeing some sort of specialist though, yeah?

I'm sorry to hear you are having back problems. Like witch, I had to stop doing deadlifts, also. Good luck on a speedy recovery.

I think you need to brush up on your metric conversion. 10F = -11C.

I took a full week off. I'm still going to keep at Deads and Squats, but if I see a long-term pattern, I may give them up. But only if I have to!

Nope. It's just a pulled muscle. I've been here before (this is my third time). Aside from the occasional pull, my back is 100%. If they didn't heal in a week or so, I'd have gone to the doc. But they heal fast and 100%.

You stopped doing Deads?

That doesn't bode well for me.

Thanks, KelJu!

I forget the negative sign, but I did round down.

I'm still unemployed, but I've got enough side-work to pay all of the bills.

I've purchased a bunch of computer parts (some are still on the way). So my PC will be offline either Thursday or Friday for the upgrade. w00t!

My back is okay, but I have a pain in my left glute and my left elbow.

My elbow has been hurting for a while, but my glute didn't hurt until I rode in a very packed limo. The pain is almost gone, but there's still enough to be...well...a pain in my ass.

TSP - Bench - Day somethingorother: Where The Hell Am I?

I messed up what day I'm supposed to be on. Somehow, I ended up on the "Day 1" workout. So I'll just go from here.

I've been out for three weeks, so I did my usual thing...I added more weight. I added 5 pounds to every exercise. It's worked for me so far.

I'm still feeling a pain in my left elbow, but I'm just going to keep on and see how it does.

That hit my funny bone for some reason, lol.

Crazy workout though, dude. This set up looks taxing as hell, really impressive
