So, it's been a while. Ha ha, understatement of the year! Well, lets see, first the bad news; I have been having back troubles since the contest in Las Vegas, I just kind of let them go hoping they would get better but they didn't. The initial thought was that it may be a pars fracture. Due to sheduling conflicts and a really busy year (in my other life I am an athletic training student for a college wrestling team) I only just got it checked out. After the usuall battery, x-rays, MRI, Bone Scan, etc. It was determined that I have a mild case of spina bifida oculta combined with a couple minor bulging discs and some unknown ammount of scar tissue/muscle/ligament tearing in my back. As bad as it sounds, it really isn't. I am 100% confident that I will make a full recovery and be back to lifting cars in 1 year...there, it's in writing so I'm held to it ;) So instead of a training log, this will now serve as a training/rehab log, starting now.
To try to minimize the strain on my back for the last month I have been doing nothing but bodyweight exercises. Pushups, pullups, situps, and all the variations in between. The blast straps have been a life saver, there really is no limit to what you can do with them. So now that we are up to speed, here's today's training:
Thursday 3/27
Upper body
No wrist wraps or belt
OHP
135x5
185x5
225x4x4
1 arm DB OHP

1 arm DB Row

Situps
3x15
Neck

Grip

Not bad, still trying to get back into the swing of things after the body weight training. I pressed on monday and it was ugly. I barely got 185 up so definately an improvement, I'll chalk it up to re-greasing my neuro-pathways. Back was a bit sore today, I'm sure due to all the sitting in class and taking tests.
Out-Work
