It was an error. The same post from above, but with a response that was supposed to be for another thread. I dunno what happened.

...well about to smack my head off a wall. This no working out business is starting to get to me. Still not out of the woods today, but feeling quite a bit better. I probably could get away with a chest workout tomorrow. However, considering the fact that Friday was a planned off day (I have commitments the entire day/evening), I think I will look at Saturday, and restart Meadows Week 9 - Legs. Workout will be a lighter effort in the squat area - really focusing on form.

- I guess I finally got some rest in Steve!
 
It feels as if your stuck in a box with no room to move just to sit and breathe! But when you get back the beast awakens! You'll be right back it brother just don't over due it til it's healthy again.
 
You'll be better for the break in the long run.

What I am thinking too. Today things are much better. Walking without limp, and going from sitting to standing is way less uncomfortable.

- I am sure Thomas you will find yourself a nice little quote edit there! lol

Lol. I would've if you hadn't said anything.
 
Out of curiosity, and because I don't remember seeing any mention of it in here or previous logs, but do you foam roll or do any deep tissue work with lacrosse balls? Anytime I have a tweak or sore spot (not disk related in my case) both seem to do quite a bit of good.

I kinda like walking when it is limp myself..
makes ppl talk too much if I'm walking around hard all the time

Well Steve, the FINAFLEX FREAK in me likes to keep the ladies talking and gawking.. (at least they aren't giggling!)

I have actually had a couple of massages this week, which have helped.

I have never foam rolled (but am thinking more and more I should do this). Speaking of which Dave, I do have a half roller - is this even useful ? It was like 2 bucks and its 18 inches long and looks like a half moon. I know I need to get a proper one.

I did take your advice in the past and rolled my shoulder with a lacrosse ball - and it helped a fair bit.
 
Upon reflection this week off has shown me a few things.

1. Taught me no matter what is going on to always stay focused. I was no where near my max weight and when I popped my back. Simply because I was thinking about the tasks I needed to accomplish after my workout, not that task at hand.

2. I will be well rested and should be good to go Saturday. I am sure my nagging shoulder has reaped some benefits with this too.

3. Obviously I need to work on my form on a few things.

4. Forced rest and not being able work out simply sucks monkey balls (yep, just like you Thomas) ;)

And finally... Fûck it - considering this my deload week.
 
I have no clue what a half roller is bud. I have a trigger point roller, myself. I like the rumble roller as well. They're both pretty good.

This is it... ( I will google the ones you mentioned.. thanks Dave)

My gym has those. How are they used? Keep it clean, Wasme...
 
Every time someone puts a video for foam rolling or mobility stuff I ended up going down the rabbit hole of other videos for a couple hours.... I just get sucked in to that stuff.

I hear you and more often than not, I end up with vids of girls in yoga pants or thongs lol
 
....Ok back in the game! Weight used was lighter, focused on form and not re-injuring. Back was still a little tender this morning, but no pain and well enough sitting around.

Post workout... 30g Isolate, oatmeal and an hour later some chicken.

Have some jerk chicken marinating to bbq this evening.. should be fantastic.
 
Should add here... that it feels great to be back in the garage. Before my injury I was going 4 on 1 off... I am going to go 2 on 1 off for the time being to allow for a bit more rest/recovery. I will likely still run though on off days (or the walking crap on treadmill).

You took things to another level brother. Logging is still top notch and your presence on the forum and your collaboration and willingness to share knowledge with others makes you an ideal rep for any company. Very impressive work here.

who is this guy?

i knew someone on this forum named fumoney a long time ago, but he has been gone for a long while now..
this dude must be imposter

:hitwithrock:
 
Imposter indeed snags. Got my life back in order. Move to MD 5 month away.

Still not on here regularly. Starting back nice and slow.

I did AM stalk few times to see how everyone was doing. Your contest pics are unreal. Sick veins.

Hope all is well.
 
Glad your back is better Wasme. At your age the recovery is much harder.

:D

Thanks for your help with the MD program. I hope my OHP's are near yours when I hit them.
