Had a real bad day today at the office. Was beyond pushed to the limit and really needed tonight's training. I am so glad I am now able to listen to my Ipod while training so I can just zone out and do what needs to be done.
Someone is now moving back into the right direction. At the start of last week I was up to 245.8. Well this morning daddy is down 240.2. Hell yeah it feels so good to be going in the right direction again.

Man you'll have those days but the weight is always there waiting for you. It's my sanctuary for sure. Hope tomorrow is a better day but if not just be proud of yourself. You can't change anyone but you.

well I am a tad mad. I jacked up my back today while training. Appears to be a sprain? Not 100% sure yet though. As I was starting my work set on the Wide grip rows my back popped forward and i went to the ground. I am flipping sore as can be and hard to move. So i may be laying low for a week or two until I heal up. So not happy about it.
Oh and a side note i am back down to 238.5 as of this morning. Wasn;t going to weigh in but this morning something just felt different. And it was good for once.

Rosie Chee said:What kind of pop, Jeff? As in a loud pop? The feel of a bone pop? It could be many things, but a pop is generally not indicative of a strain. I suggest that you get your back looked at as soon as you can to get a diagnosis, so that you know what it is and can start working on recovery, because you don't want to be out for too long. I do hope it is nothing too serious and heals fast for you!

Onlychevy6 said:Thanks Rosie and Rahl. I have motrin and vicodin. And it didn't help last night.
The best way to describe it was like this. My back way flat and as I was pulling the weight toward me my lower back buckled I heard and felt a pop. I drop the weight don't got up and went over to this contraption that you can stretch in. At first I couldn't bend forward but after grabbing the bars and forcing my self,it popped again after that I was able to move around. I got on the table and had one of the trainers stretch me out and while it was uncomfortable it felt good.

Well today I made the choice to go in and try to get some training in. There was some good and some not so good. After the first rep I knew I wasn't ready but said fug it. I can't let what I have started get further behind. So here you go. It is funny how adrenaline and emotions can get you to a different place and allows you to focus that much better.

Stubborn bastard. Lol. The Dr most likely will hand you muscle relaxers and some Aleve. If you have a good chiro that's my recommendation for what it's worth.
ScottyDoc said:No Chiro I know will do that, that sounds more like a visit to CVS Drug-Pushers to me!!!
That's what I meant! Just got back from my Chiro putting my skelly back in line.
ScottyDoc said:You Rack-em, I'll Crack-em!
When I do an adjustment I get the Snap, the Crackle, & the Pop, the entire Rice Crispy Gang!!!
Still a solid day though bro and remember injury will play havoc on strength and performance at first coming back. Just keep fighting the fight with no regrets. You gota keep at it cause you and I are like batman and robin lol. I can't survive with your support.
Good to see ya back in action brahma!
It does feel good. I don't want to get derailed to bad.
Good to see you back in action Sir!
Nice to see you back in action, Jeff. Just make sure that you adjust your training to "allow" for your back - not making it any less effective, but taking into account what you can and cannot do re function, etc. and let your back "heal"/"build back up". It can be tempting to go faster and push yourself, but if it's something that was serious, you don't want to put yourself out more than necessary. Take care and be safe!
