Evolution

Thanks guys, talked to the specialist today and he basically said that it's going to happen ocassionally. Going to still get an MRI to make sure nothing has gotten worse and that this is just a flare up.

I have a business trip next week so I might just try to get some cardio in until I get back and of course keep the CKD going. I figure by friday I'll finally be under 250 which will be awesome because I was afraid the weight loss would go down or stop with this little injury.
 
Yep, what seems to be helping is I use a heating pad for about 15 minutes before I do the rolling. 2x a day. Each day it seems to be getting a bit better. Now I just need to be patient and make sure it's solid before I start hitting the weights again.
 
Thanks guys, off the heavy pain meds and just in the anti inflamation drugs now. This business trip next week turns out to have come at a good time so should be ready to hit it hard when I get back.

So the CKD diet is working even when being layed up and not being able to train. Down to 248 today so I know it's not mind blowing but down 15 in 7 weeks. Thanks again for the help Juggernaut. :thumb:
 
Good to hear O.
When you go back to training, start with two weeks of lighter weight on the problem area, and use higher reps to ease back into it. for example use 15 reps this week, then 12 the next week, then get back to standard training. I do this with my clients when something happens and they feel antsy by the end of two weeks and ready to go balls to the wall.

Just doing my job (cape waves in the wind for Captain Asshole:))...up up and awaaaaay!!!
 
so glad to not be at home this week. Been really anxious to hit the gym even though I know it's to early.

Can finally walk normal again and just a small nerve pinch in the back but that should be gone by monday.

Thanks for the advice Jugg's. I think I'm going to go really light next week. Probably alot of BW and just bar weight.

Glad to see you're getting better.
Don't get overzealous because you're getting better. Take it easy, relax and just work on the form.

Take care of yourself!

what he said!
I'm right there with ya, O!
Chomping at the bit here...tomorrow first day back....nice and easy...
 
Had a couple flare ups in the last week, but tomorrow I'm going back. Will consider and use "rehab" weights and concentrate on form.

Once it's cleared up I think I'm going to go back to the 5/3/1. Spent a lot of time reading this past week and it got me fired up to do it again.

Going to continue the workout Juggernaut gave me until

The weight over the last week stayed constant so now that I'm getting back to the strict CKD again starting today. :thumb:
 
Burner damnit you forgot to drop off the vette. Now my garage is sitting empty. :roflmao:
 
Hell yeah, I always thought foam rolling would be weird. But I've been doing it religously for at least 4 months now and have to say it's fucking awesome. Even when the pain was at it's worst I kept up with it.

I used to get knots in my back all the time to the point it would hurt to breath but now I just roll that fucker out and things are all good.

Do you have any good stretch's for hip flexibility? I think I need to work on that to help keep things like this from happening.
 
haahah I trust you more than I trust google. That's why I usually ask. Thanks, I'm going to phase these in along with my rollin. :thumb:
 
Why is it that after a couple weeks off I swear to god I'm like the wicked witch in the wizard of oz after getting wet. "I'm shrinking"

I hate this feeling.
 
In all honesty, the shrinking feeling is always there, even for me. I hate it, but I know that in the amount of time I've been out, I will bounce back within a few shorts days or even a week or two. So, relish the fact that you're so focused on your goal, and trust that you'll regain and come back flying higher and soaring stronger.

Sort of fucked up day at the gym, forgot my water. Then get to the gym and of course my ipod battery is dead so I'm stuck listening to the bullshit gym music.

But overall strength isn't down as far as I was expecting which makes me feel alot better about. The back hurt during the routine but now it feels the same as it did before the flare up. But to play it safe I'm doing cardio only tomorrow, and continue with the program just with lower weights and work on form for a few more weeks and see how it feels at that point. Feels great to be back in the gym again.
 
thanks juggernaut, at least I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Dave things are a lot better. I had my MRI today so in a few days I'll find out if I've been causing any more damage or if this was truely just a flare up. You owe us some stories of your week in spain.

Just catching up in here of all that I missed the last month! I think I need cliff notes. ;) Miss you!
 
Assisted pullup machine. says -90 but it's probably more like 60, but this way I remember were I put the pin in. I know at 60, it's really 30.

Someday I'll standard ones.
