Thanks man. I started last November to help deal with a back injury, but I've got a lot more out of it than I anticipated. Should've started years ago. :)

Yoga
Lower back was *really* hollering at me, so I just did a bunch of stuff for that, something like
- child's pose -> down dog -> cat cow -> plank x 2 followed by
- knees to chest -> windshield washers -> side twist -> forward fold x 2
Lower back felt better after that. Got a messed up glute muscle, I think the lower back pain is referral from that. Also getting some nastiness in my left quad, weird how these things work.

Notes: Reasonable workout. Last time I tried this workout I went too heavy, so this time I eased off on the weight a bit and it was more doable.

Yoga
- did yoga between all my sets, a bunch of stuff, including:
- knees to chest, glute stretch, triangle pose, forward fold, seated cat cow, & child's pose,

More Yoga (upstairs in the studio)
- plank -> down dog -> cat cow -> child's pose x 2

Notes: OK workout. I injured a glute muscle last week doing deadlifts in a super careless way, so today I had to baby that injury a bit. I still wanted to do some deadlifting though, so lots of yoga was the answer. It worked out pretty well. The glute doesn't feel too bad and the yoga improved my mood by a couple miles.

- 365 x 1
- 405 x 1

Yoga
- plank -> down dog -> cat cow -> cow face -> wide leg forward fold -> child's pose x 2

Notes: Pretty good workout. The heavier box squats weren't pretty, the bar I was using is a bit slender and therefore bendy, and the weights hit the safeties @ 365, so I had to lower them, The 405 lift wasn't pretty either, but only because it was heavy. Biggest box squat I've done in quite a while, since last summer maybe.

- 275 x 5
- 315 x 3
- 365 x 2
- 405 x 1
- 425 x 1
- 455 x 1

Notes: Good workout. 455 is a PR for conventional stance. I don't pull sumo any more at all. I did yoga between every set after 225 lb. Mostly child's pose but also a couple other things thrown in. Don't know if I'm ever going to compete in powerlifting again, but if I do it's going to look awfully strange doing yoga on the platform. :p
 
"Pretty good workout" is an understatement you Beastman! Strong lifting!

We'll call it lazy and focus on getting back to business.

- 365 x 3
- 405 x 3
- 455 x 3
- 495 x 3

Yoga
- cross leg forward fold -> plank -> down dog -> seated cat cow -> child's pose

Notes: Still got a banged up glute from several weeks ago, so I did all my pulls sumo today, also ramped up the yoga. Took a while plus people were noticing, not just the usual 'stretches'. Which is fine; lifting 500 lb is an extraordinary feat for anyone IMO, never mind someone my age.. it requires extraordinary measures..
 
I'm liking these workouts! Strong!

- 315 x 3
- 365 x 3

Yoga (flow)
- plank -> down dog -> warrior 1 -> warrior 2 -> exalted -> side angle -> seated wide leg forward fold -> seated cat cow -> child's pose x 2

Notes: Been thinking (& talking) about bench press recently. Haven't done bench press in well over a year, due to a messed up infraspanitus tendon in my left shoulder. Physio did nothing for it, despite the fact that my physiotherapist is a genius; she diagnosed the problem well in advance of the ultrasound that eventually happened. After he reviewed the ultrasound my doctor said it would heal itself in time, but I guess, not enough time has passed. Oh well. I'll just have to continue doing dumbbell bench for the time being. Can't really complain, my disc injury, which is a lot more serious IMO, seems to be in remission; I can move big weights again, so it's all good. Just mean no competitions this year.

- 15 min. treadmill
- 15 min. stair master

Yoga
- headstands x 2
- plank -> down dog -> high lunge -> warrior 2 -> exalted -> side angle -> triangle pose -> hip stretch -> seated cat cow -> childs pose x 2

Notes: Had to ditch the treadmill because my calves weren't up to it, couldn't figure out why until 10 minutes in on the stair master and my quads were on fire, then I remembered, oh yeah, monster squats yesterday. Bunch of new yoga from this mornings class, including head stands!

Yoga
- headstand practice
- flow -> plank -> down dog -> warrior 1 -> warrior 2 -> exalted -> side angle -> triangle pose -> wide leg forward fold -> child's pose x 2

Notes: Wanted to do something "easy" for legs today, so I decided on dumbbell lunges. Seems like every time I go for an "easy" workout it ends being quite difficult. The lunges for instance are twice as hard as they look on paper, because the weight is 40 lb in each hand, and the reps are 10 reps on each leg. So a 40 x 10 set is actually 80 x 20. Anyway they left me gasping so I only did 4 sets instead of 5.
