    Lower back is in a bit of a state. Super tight this morning. Haven't done any RDLs in about 2 weeks so, it's feeling a bit shít from yesterday.

    This morning:

    Attempted to unfúck my back. Foamrolled, stretched, foamrolled more.

    Cardio - 30mins crosstrainer - HR 132.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 117 ✭✭Raven_Melody


    Breaking toes, wussing out on squats, dodge form on deadlifts, lots of ouchies, catching the plague...

    Are you sure this isn't my old log?! :) What's the story?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    I may or may not have caught training AIDS. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Turns out I had some sort of stomach flu. Haven't been able to eat much this week and haven't trained either. Dropped 2kg somehow, even though I drank ~5 litres of water a day. So, wasn't water loss.

    Appetite returned late last night and I felt decent this morning. Just did an easy swole day today. Feeling decent. Gonna eat and see what happens with tomorrow.

    Quads are still demolished from Sunday. Stretched, foam rolled, got The Stick out (stop sniggering down the back) and still DOMS'd to ****. This is what happens when you have no quads.

    DB shoulder press

    DB shrugs, Curls and some other stuff I can't be arsed remembering.

    First time I've benched that wide in a long time. No shoulder pain - success.
    Back to close grip for 4 weeks then hopefully a PR on that somewhere along the line.

    I think I've caught the menopause - this log has become nothing but complaining and gayness. I'm actually complaining about complaining right now.

    Off work for two weeks, so gonna try get back on track.
