I don't know what else I did, but that pretty much fubar-ed the next 5 days. The gym I trained at has one power rack and 2 smith machines. The power rack doesn't have any way to rack a bar outsided the rack, and there isn't enough room to lunge inside the rack, so I pressed 225 and let it down on my back, then had some guys put more weight on. It's been a long time since I've had that can't sit/stand/crap/move soreness. Took massage saturday night, felt better for a while. Poor massagist...can't say that's an area I would like to massage.

First time in a while that I pressed a regular bar, I have been doing lots of log stuff. It definately feels like I'm progressing and I think I can attribute that to the log stuff. It's a different animal thats for sure. Good day today.

Weird day, I really wanted to get some blood into my back and see if I can't get this pain to go away, today felt like a good day to do some 20 rep squats, so I tried to get up to 225 but it wasn't happening. I don't really know why deadlift doesn't hurt but squatting kills! I guess pulling did hurt once I was up to 405, but other than that...no pain. After the 20 reps I really couldn't think of anything I wanted to do, kind of a slack day, but oh well...my back needs to recover.
