Tweaks Log - Teh Tweakness

[Clint]

todays session, it was suppose to be fullbody

Olympic Squats
2 Minute Bicycle Warmup
Light Knee Extensions
Hip Warmups
45x10
135x6

220x2
220x2
220x2
220x2
220x2

Walked to the drinking fountain, walked back. During a step I felt this sudden discomfort that made me wince a bit. Lower left portion of my back. Went down along the left side of my thigh and left calve.

It's only progressively gotten worse as time passes. I walked into work with a mild limp, now its become a bit more severe.

Bench Press
Rotator Cuff Warmups
45x10
135x6
135x10
135x10

I don't know why I did this. I suppose I did it to see if it put strain on my back but I told myself, these exact words too. "I have one body, I have plenty of time to workout" Possibly one of the smartest things I've said to myself

I actually have a shipment of 117 boxes in the back, I've done what I can but walking/carrying/lifting boxes. Then bending down to put them on shelves is a hassle. I don't care how angry my boss gets, it's not like I'm refusing to try.

I don't know what to do, I presume its a nerve problem of sort (thus the feeling down my thigh and calve)
I can't/wont go to the doctor. I 1.) dont have insurance 2.) don't have a few hundred dollars to pay for the visit.

I think my body is trying to tell me I'm not destined to squat or deadlift. I've had 3 lower back problems now in....4 years now? It's really a shame.

Damm tweak, sad to read you've got a pain.

I can admit you've got a few good things there at the states, but i wouldn't change spanish social security for those. You know, I see having free medical care so normal that i'm shocked every time i read something like that. So there in the states when you sign up a contract your employer doesn't have to pay for a medical insurance?
Anyway twek i wish you get better soon, and if it keeps hurting you better spend those few hundreds, your health is your best investment.

Good luck.

i dont see why you do some of the shit you do
to gain strength, i dont see how thats working for you
i can DB hammer curl half the weight you do with bench press
well anything i suggest to you is wrong though isn't it? lol
to me its like your stagnating. but keep it up then !

so the split is garbage you say? Tell that to Tunen.

not gaining strength? even though I gradually gain strength week to week?




Storm - my employer doesn't have to pay anything. If I went into the hospital right now, all the doctor would do is ask me to attempt to bend, balance, stretch. Then he'd take an x-ray of my back. He'd then prescribe me some pain reliever, tell me I have a strained back (exactly what happened a few years ago) Then when the bill comes I'd owe nearly 300 dollars

 

[Storm]

^^

bad news. Here not only you can go to visit a doctor whenever you need it, last week I and every workmate got a complete check (blood test, urine test, vision, blood pressure and such) by my job insurance. Sure we pay it in our taxes but i think it worth it. Different ways of doing things, I suppose .

Anyway best wishes with your back, and btw i think your routine is pretty solid, it seems these days that half the people in this board can outcurl ronnie coleman himself.

 

[Glex]

Is the pain down your quad or hamstring? Because I have the same kind of issue.

 

[Dobbs]

God damn, i hope u get over this pain, i know it sucks to say but maybee u should jsut take off for a week or two give ur body a rest, between all the full body workouts u do, heavy weights, tough exercises like benching, squats and deads, ur body prolly needs to take off some time. Hope u feel better

I took a week off maybe 3 weeks ago though

thats why I'm pretty frustrated. I think my body is trying to tell me I'm not destined to deadlift or squat

how the world twirls

 

[Dobbs]

^ idk deads and squats are just so rough on every part of the body, thats why most people do neither, or if they do squats go down an inch cuz their so hard to do full reps. Keep us updated on how u feel, maybee just a painful day in general maybee it will feel better next time around ??

 

[Bulkboy]

damn tweak, i hope it works out for u this shit, ur damn healthcare system is just fucked! u should have lived in norway

just take it easy and listen to ur body, if it tells u that u cant squat or deadlift then dont, they are good exercises but not a necessity, many pro bbers dont use them at all, u can still build a great body without them.

 

[Pickle]

tweak i didnt know u were sore bro. about the doctor. just move to australia i swear i never pay to goto the doctor and i could probably talk my mum into paying for you if you had to pay something at the doctor

whats the latest development on the injury? better or worse? you gonna train squat and deadlift still?

 

[Rocky]

That sucks shit about your back. With a lot of box lifting I can see where that could stem from. Hope it is nothing that won't resolve over time. Regardless of the weight you're lifting the strain that lifting boxes puts on your back still isn't good. Hope you persevere with the deads and squats. Mine never seem to really increase by much but I still do 'em cos I hope that there's still some benefit.

If you get bed ridden though, I'll look after you.

 

[Clint]

Took some ibuprofen, which eased the pain a bit enough to get me through this workout.

45x10
135x6

185x4 <-- stronger then last week
185x4
185x4

185x3
170x5
170x5

Pullups - not weighted for obvious reasons
4 sets of Myself for 10 reps

Front Raises - nope

Seated Db Press - went light as even this I could feel the discomfort
45x10
45x10
45x10

Lying Db Skullcrushers
30x10
30x10
30x10

75x15
75x15
75x15


Behind Back Wrist Curls

65x25
65x25

Aftermath - ibuprofen really helped. I had so much energy today I really had to hit the gym, and I even got stronger on bench which really pleases me next session won't be until Friday, gonna rest up.

 

[Paulie]

Damn that sucks your lower back and left leg is bothering you. You seem to never get away without the pain. When I start bulking, I will soon enough be dominating you. muahahahaa. Your sessions still look very productive. Nice job on the bench also.

I will try to post in here more often, i will try and make it mandatory as i dont post very often anyway.

 

[Bulkboy]

great session man! awesome that ure getting stronger, the bench looks real good, always nice to get a pb there and the db presses dont look to shabby either...

 

[knight_rider]

I took a week off maybe 3 weeks ago though

lol well i did try to give you some advice about your sqaut technique a little while ago...how did that end up............go have a look at your sqaut video, just before you get into the deep sqaut postion you start to rise with your back really fast, and you let it bend to much.......you need to try and keep you back steady when you rise up, instead of bending your back and then following with the legs....

i havent seen your deadlift technique but i suspect your going back first and then legs.......it explains any back problems....hope you fix........you looked gnarly cut in those pics you put up, good stuff

neg, as I told you in the neg, I've had reoccurring back problems for 3 years now. My squat form was right on with the exception of my left hip weakness.

Your not right, your rarely right, just because I hurt myself ( I was never 100% in the first place ) doesn't make your dipshit self right.

Don't come in this log again trying to scrutinize when your a tart.

Paul - you'll never dominate me, ever. true story. Maybe in legs since I'm done with squatting, done with deadlifts, for good now. 3 injuries in 3 years, I have one body. I'm 20 years old, I rather be walking around when I'm 40 then paying for it because I was a dipshit 20 years ago.

 

[Glex]

Lol, you're falling apart, dude. Nice bench press, though

 

[Tunen]

Teh glass-warrior

Get well soon dude.

 

[Pickle]

your dipshit self right .

I was a dipshit 20 years ago.
