But I may have put my back out, or strained it a tiny bit, thanks to heavy presses and back extensions. My fingers are crossed, but it feels like I'm stiffening up pretty good. Which will no doubt add excitement to my increasingly awkward sleeping adventures. (Er, not to mention walking.)
Anyway, I'll reflect back on more joyous times -- today's workout.
Bookending the workout - 1000m row (5:15 and 5:30 min respectively)
Presses - 55 x 7, 5, 5
Lat pulls* - 82.5 x 10, 90 x 6, 6
Squats - 65 x 10, 10, 10
Calf presses (seated, straight legs) - 250 x 8, 8, 10 (?)
Back extensions - 10, 10, 10
Bench dips - 10, 10
Finishers:
Squats - 45 x 15
Presses - 35 x 18
* I do the lat pulls with a narrow-ish grip (narrower, at least, than what I imagine a traditional lat pull to be). I'm trying to mimic a pull-up grip as much as possible.
I don't think I'm going to up my press weight; I'll just work on increasing the reps. Now's not the time for pushing things, and I could really feel the 55 lbs in my lower and mid back.
On the plus side, the pelvic discomfort seems to have improved in the last few days. Let's hope it lasts!
Weigh-in: 151.
