Alright this week started off with a BANG, folks. Yesterday I tweaked my lumbar (probably a pulled muscle) while on my second to last set of squats with 225. Naturally, the the instinct is to keep going. So I did a final set of 2 with 225, and then dropped the weight to 135 for a set of 17 to finish her off.
Back felt fine when squatting, so I must have had a bad rep that caused my back to be in the wrong position and pull something. I had pain all day while standing, walking, sitting, driving, pooping, you name it. Iced it last night for about 2 hours, and this morning I actually woke up feeling a lot better. The pain is still there but I’m dealing with it.
Still went to the gym today. I used the prowler for the first time ever. Wow, what a humbling device. Have not had a harder cardio session…ever. After prowling I did some light, high rep low rows on the cable machine, and light high rep machine dips. Capped off with 50 reps of preacher curls- a seat in the sauna, and 5 minutes in the tanning booth. Hell of a morning.
I’m cutting dairy again. Surprise, surprise. Digestive issues, bloating, probably the cause of my fat loss stall. I am going to add more fasting I think, probably a 36 hour weekly, and I will most likely be trying to regulate caloric intake somewhat, by reducing the fat I consume with my ground beef. I’ll do less pourover when cooking. Hope that helps, I’ve held on to this spare tire for far too long.
