Fall '07 - Lower 2, Week 18

Overall Impression:

back is feeling better. but i am not at 100% at all. this workout took a lot out of me.

ok, i did cardio twice last week for 45 minutes the first time and 60 minutes the next. im going to be doing cardio 2-4 times a week.

Deep Squats = 5 sets x 5 reps x 185 lbs

my lower back hurt a couple reps a set. fuck. this injury is going to take a long time to go - about 1-2 months. ill post on this later...

Low Box Squats = 2 sets x 5 reps x 185 lbs

felt wierd. ive lost me groove.

Reverse Hyperextensions = 2 sets x 10 reps x 25 lbs

Preacher Curls = 2 sets x 10 reps x 50 lbs

Leaving Thoughts:

ok so here is the deal. i have a lower back injury which isnt gonna go anytime soon. it will probably disappear in 1-2 months. this workout was better than the last since i was able to squat with some weight atleast. so yeah it is healing. but it will take time. naturally, im a little torn up about this because this means my lower body is going to be seriously fucked strength wise since im not going to squatting 295x4 anytime soon. ive worked hard for 13 weeks ironing out all weakpoints on my lifts to progress and this has happened which is a huge setback. it is temporary but it is a setback noentheless.

so here's the deal, since most of my lower body workouts are going to be like shit 99% of the time, im going to be focussing on certains aspects of training which i have been ignoring for the last 1-2 years:
cardio
direct arm training
ab work

yes, im going to be working teh beach muscles a lot more for the next 1-2 months.

im not really all that upset about this because i have a long time to train ahead of me (15-20 years?) so im fine with being patient and training other "skills" while i recover from this injury. so yeah u guys are going to probably see a little more ab work and more curlzzz and extensionzzz from now on ;)

cheers and have a good weekend y'all

thanks for reading!
