I had a long drive home last night and was thinking about your back issues a lot. I think mainly cause the pain region is so similar to where my worst was. I truly think if you keep working at it...
Good squats! Glad the bump in dosage is helping some of the afternoon fatigue. It can be hard trying to stay out of the overthinking getting in your head!
Perspective is all over the place at the moment. Life stuff at home. Going to try and put it aside.

Yeah, I almost did that instead yesterday. Just some light KB / DB RDLs work. But opted to hit some back and Biceps instead.
Ended up deciding that the best course for me this AM was to live to...
you gotta do you bro, only you truly know what the heck is going on inside your body but I can tell you in MY experience the two best things when the pain is in that area you just described are...
Don’t do it tomorrow if you’re squatting for real Thursday. You could either add a couple deload sets then, or just skip entirely. Depends on your time, energy & preparedness. If you do any, don’t...
FWIW if that lower back flares up or you feel inclined to get some more prehab type work on it you could do the RDL's with the KB's and DB's you have available.
Traveling for work and an all-day meeting plus work social / dinner after yesterday. No time for a workout due to my schedule. At least I slept half decent in the hotel last evening.
This AM's...

True. Meet was a mess and figured by now would be back on track. Think just stuck in a weird phase in general right now. Energy level is running so low.
I need to fish around and see if we have an SSB bar in our newly remodeled gym. we have so many other toys, I bet we do...
I was thinking the same thing. bro is repping 275 on bench and casually...
Definitely fixes a lot of the problems with keeping the bar in place! It’s harder to get under and out of as load goes up, but no more blacking out or choking, harder to roll forward/drop, and...
Those looks pretty fresh! I'm always looking for an upgrade to my shoe game, something that I can put time in casually or also at work on a dress down day. Will be curious what the more "dress"...
So I spent today cleaning up that mess and got another pile of 10ft logs stacked and delimbed. I'd love to put a small barn with three stalls right where that tree is, but it has a view of the...
I really appreciate the support, compliments encouragement! I think only other gym rats can understand it when you've really put it all out there.
This morning I woke up feeling like I PRd...
I'm with Hyde on the chalk, lol. I keep it in the gym bag. it lasts quite a while unless you're dumb like me and leave the cap off one day and it all dries out and then try to force the hard cap...
