Training and Back Maintenance

As previously posted, my back is bothering me. It still isn't great but I'm really motivated to train. On Saturday I tried some Deadlifts that didn't work out so well. Luckily it didn't make my problems any worse. Sunday I did some Bench Press and today some core work.

Saturday 27 June 2020,

Leg Swings and Stretches.

Deadlifts - 2 sets/8 reps/145lbs, 3 sets/6 reps/235lbs.

At this point my back told me STOP! So, I did and went for a walk around the block.

Sunday 28 June 2020,

Rotator Laterals - 3 sets/20 reps/10lbs.

Band Pull Apart and Presses.

Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 225lbs/12 reps, 3 sets/3 reps/315lbs, 3 sets/4 reps/315lbs.


OH Plate Ext - 2 sets/30 reps/45lbs.

It was really warm in the garage. Despite the +34 degC these felt really good and well in control. Good pause and dynamic.

Monday 29 June 2020,

Alternate the following

Ab Sling Knee Ups Front - 3 sets/16 reps.
Ab Sling Knee Ups Sides - 3 sets/20 reps.

Alternate the following

Barbell Curls - 3 sets/12 reps/45lbs.
Barbell OH Ext - 3 sets/12 reps/45lbs.

Walk Around the Block - 3.5km

Damn it's HOT!!! 34 degC in the shade. Gotta be over 40 in the sun. It may have been foolish of me to go for a walk in this heat. I brought water. That's good. Now time to relax.
