Lumbar
Sunday-
Deadlift 205 for 3,3,3,4,2
Last two were most difficult. Warmup was abbreviated since I got to the gym 35 mins before closing. I think I jerked the bar.
Monday I did nothing and felt fine.
Tuesday I had a very odd, yet strong soreness in my lumbar immediately above the top of the pelvic bone. This was different than the usual lumbar soreness I’ll get which is a few inches higher…this new one would flare if standing straight up and actively tilting my pelvis forward. Perhaps I slept wrong? Perhaps not warming up the deads compromised my back? I don’t know.
Rolled it briefly on my new Rumble Roller and it felt slightly better. Today it’s about 40% as sore as yesterday.
Squatting today. The rule is and must be to STAY TIGHT during the entire movement. As tight as humanly possible. I can feel the difference in my hamstrings by doing so.
In other news, my iPod is on shuffle and music from the Up! soundtrack comes on. I am immediately saddened. If I can turn that sadness into something more negatively energetic I may just squat well tonight.
