Woke up with a headache today, but the family is out of town and it's an opportunity to hit the gym on the weekend so I took it. Motivation wasn't there when I started, but I slowly got into the groove. Saturdays are weird at my gym at the time I went not many people there, but about 50% were lifting with bad form. One guy was wearing a smedium doing horrible db curls, then checking out his arms in the mirror, then proceeded to exhibit a nasty case of imaginary lat syndrome. I got some good laughs in, but in the end it's about working hard.

My back held up for the squats today a little discomfort, but I'm getting it checked out tomorrow so hopefully they're able to point me in the right direction to get this problem fixed so it doesn't hinder my training anymore.

Good arm workout, had to go before work today because of my appointment to get my back checked out. I have to have an X-ray done on it later this week, until then I'm on anti-inflammatory medication. It's looking like I may have to go down the PT road which I've been down so many times before, I'm just hoping nothing bad comes out on the X-Ray.

Excellent strength gains!

And those partial reps can lead to some brutal DOMS, I used to employ them from time to time. How are you feeling?

Chest is definitely hurting today, between the partial reps, the static holds and the fascia stretching I have some pretty good DOMS right now. I desperately need an impressive chest so I will continue to punish myself until this happens.

Off subject had my lower back X-rayed today so hopefully I should find out early next week what's going on. All I know is even with the anti-inflammatory medication I'm still feeling a sharp pain in my lower back. People keep telling me it's the muscles, but definitely feels like the problem is skeletal, but we'll find out soon enough.
