Lower 2, Week 17

Fall '07 - Lower 2, Week 17

Overall Impression:
my back is feeling much better today. no pain in my routine activities.

Deep Squat = 1 set x 5 reps x 135 lbs
so i warmed up with these like normal and i knocked out 5 reps with 135 but when i took 185 and squatted down right at the bottom my lower back hurt a bit. i dunno why it wasnt serious or really painful but it was a sharp small pain. i couldve easily knocked out many more reps but i didnt want to take the risk. i know that if i had done it, since my left lower back is hurting, more stress is on the right so i would've most likely clusterfucked my lower back AND screwed my progress. im glad i backed off. i figure in 2-3 weeks MAX ill be good to go. the pain that occured today was RIGHT at the bottom position of my deep squat. probably where the "butt wink" occurs.

Romanian Deadlift = 1 set x 5 reps x bar
just to stretch my back a little bit.

Reverse Hyperextensions = 1 set x 10 reps x 25 lbs
for therapeutic value

Leaving Thoughts:
im recovering well and i hope to be strong again soon. interesting vid: Click Here
