does anyone have any idea whats up with my back? i had the same shit last week when doing squats. weird thing is deadlifts dont bother it, while squats does. this is annoying as hell,feels like my back is compressed, and my spinal erectors feel so stiff it almost hurts just to touch them. just hope i havent gotten anything serious..
Your back problem sounds posture related. Almost as if the natural arch in your spine is arching more than it should be. This would be putting presure on the discs and in turn would cause discomfort (which would lead to a dull ache a few hours after a workout). The deadlifts would not be bothering it as in deads there is no weight pressing down on you (compressing your spine), unless of course you hyperextend your deads (is this the case)?
I'd recommend trying to manipulate your hips so that the arch is less arched (sorry, i'm not really articulate enough to explain this well). However, what i've just said may be complete and utter rubbish and may not be the case for you at all. I'd definately suggest that you go and see a physio or sports doctor about this problem (don't just keep working though the pain).
2 awesome sessions. Military is immense and those incline DB presses are sweet!
Not to say Base is wrong but I'd be tempted to say your problem sounds the opposite of what he suggests. When my back was giving me problems it felt really compressed when doing pressing moves or having weight on my shoulders and I was told that my back is actually quite flat and doesn';t have as much of an arch as most people which may be why it was feeling compressed becasue the load bearing was straight down. Might be worht investigating and Base is definately right in suggesting you keep your posture right at all times. Try doing some thorassic spinal exercises to ease the pain too. (Basically in a sitting position arch your back right back then lean forward and curl your spine the other way and twist your body from one side to the other and hold the position - if that makes sense)
sorry to hear bout being drained of motivation man, dont let it get to you
i had the worst possible fucking day at work, but still managed my full body workout.. ti's hard to do, but i do it.
Damn it why can everyone do pulls up passed 6 but me ?
damn my double jointed arms..
150somin lb close grip pull downs damn, after all of that? intense man
keep it up!
I've had those motivation crapper days as weell, BB. Way to soldier on; rest up and charge the mental batteries, you'll be psychologically ramped in no time.
Roll with Base and Rocky's adivce though; go see a pro ASAP. Definitely better than tweaking something long term
