So far, the week has progressed beautifully. Training has been intense and I've given 110% in the gym. Sometimes I get the feeling I'm the only one "bustin' my rump" in the gym, but that's a subject for another post. I have made progress in the gym and I'm looking forward to pushing myself even harder when I get in there tonight. All this, while trying to rehab an injured back! Not bad.
As for my back, it has felt fantastic today! Apart from a little ache hear and there, I could tell that yesterday's workout and this morning's water therapy have really helped. I tried decline sit ups for 100 reps (brutal!), but I forced myself to work through the back pain and it seemed to pay off; my back feels more limber than it has in the nearly three months since I injured it. I also tried this neat stretching machine that really targets the lower back:
But today I really get to test my back as I plan on hitting some new PRs in the Rack Pull and Romanian Deadlift. Let's see if I'm able to get out of bed tomorrow!
Diet has been on the spot, too! Getting plenty of protein, drinking plenty of water/green tea, and staying away from carbs. But for some reason I've been gaining weight. I'm not too worried about it yet, but it's frustrating to put that much hard work only to see the scale move in the wrong direction!
