Getting back on track
About 6 weeks ago I threw my back out doing heavy Barbell rows. I just got caught in the moment of lifting heavy and rolled my back enough to slip my L-5 and the pain shot through my body enough where I blackedout. I started lifting again this week "heavier" than the past 2 weeks. I put up 540 on the leg press for 15 yesterday and I could feel the stretch in my lower back so I figured I shouldn’t go any higher in weight.
I am happy overall with my workouts this week. It’s just really hard to go into the gym knowing you can’t lift as much as you would like too. But it’s the 2nd time I have hurt my lower back and realized how much I use it through out the day and if I hurt it again I won’t be able to get around with out being on pain pills.
