I sound like a broken record and I apologize but........... during the last 4 weeks my idea of working back into the big 3, thinking that as long as I go light my issue with my back will improve. Sadly it just keeps making me take steps backwards and leaving me in pain daily. Talk about a...

Wow where do I begin..... 5 months of failed attempts at treatments, close to a 1,000 dollars spent, and in and out of the gym with thoughts of giving up and stepping away from powerlifting. Still figuring it out but may have started with a soft tissue injury in spine or some type of sprain...
........ After a second visit to the specialist and more discussion on what the problem could be it sounds like its a spinal soft tissue injury. The facet joints in my lower lumber are sprained and are most likely the culprit to my back pain and instability. As much as I don't want to, the only...
....................Finally met with a ART specialist today to get this back issue resolved. Diagnosis was a nasty strain in my Psoas and some soft tissue damage. After some active release techniques, TheraStim, and chiropractic work I can already feel a tremendous improvement. Taking a week off...
I started with Sheiko MS prep # 2 and have ran in a few times. I have also really butchered the accessory work but the percentages and main lifts have remained the same. The more I run them the more I customize them to suit my needs. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
