Appreciate it. I talked to her about the Europa next yr, she said she'll support me but I can't push the envelope which I agree. 2 kids and being there for them long term is much more important than competing.

Yep...if you compete in physique...you can get by on less gear....I'll support you my friend.

Ugh, so squatting on Monday and felt a tweak in my lower back while working up in weights

Wasn't able to complete the squats as it just didn't feel right. It happens every so often, typically while warming up.

So will have to find ways to work around it for the time being.
Had a decent workout today.

Machine press
stack + 5 x 10,5,5

Standing BB Press (felt weird with back)
145 x 10,5,5

Dips
BW + 55 x 20,10

Pull ups (actually felt good stretching it out)
15,10,5

Low Cable Row
275 x 20
Felt my back afterwards :banghead:
Should've taken it easy, not may be out of commission for a few days

Time to start some inverted hangs!

Spine decompression is amazing

How is your back feeling today?

Eh, took it easy so to not make it worse. Tying shoes is tender, sitting down and getting in and out of car sucks.
It's just tight, small tweak

Those are always the worse, you never realize how much use your lower back is involved in day to day activities until literally everything becomes a struggle. Used to happen to me all of the time until I started doing reverse hypers on a regular basis. Hope you feel better soon!

100%. Crazy how we never realize stuff like that until the shit hits the fan.

Doing great Richie, take care of that back bro.

Took today off. Was supposed to do legs and thought that would be a bad idea. So I spent extra time at home with the kiddos, much more rewarding

FML

So the kids woke up today with a stomach bug, my wife had it early this week/late last week and figured I was in the clear.....NOPE

Coming out both ends. Hope it's short lived, feel like crap and don't want to lose strength

Use this time to heal...in some ways it may be a blessing.

Doesn't feel or taste like it lol
But I agree, rest will be good

Finally got the death feeling away!
Was going to try and hit the gym yesterday but still had some remnant inside me.
But I made it this morning, decided to take it easy today and tomorrow and will be full force next week.

Did some chest shoulders and tri's this morning.
Nothing spectacular, just wanted to move some weights around and get the blood flowing

Trying man, back injuries blow because they never go away. Still a little tight but it's leg day tomorrow, see how it goes. Feeling close to 100% except for the back part, but feeling good overall.

Cleaning my diet back up, got a little sloppy after the bug, ate pretty much whatever was around
