It's mildy difficult to explain...but...here goes 😂🤷‍♂️

I never had an issue until I got hit by a drunk driver one night. I was sore but, having been in a, ahem, few wrecks before I figured it was normal. Well it wasn't. Something happened to my right side spinal erectors. It first happened a few months after the wreck. Warmup deadlift. It "popped". Like I can feel it and HEAR it in my head. And it's like I pull it? There's like a golf ball sized tight spot there. Severity just depends on my stupidity afterward and how bad the initial pop was. I've seen a PT and he said it acts like I "threw" my back out (ie slipped disc or something) but it's not centered spinally? It's definitely an erector issue and so far only that right side. The few times it's been worse than average acupuncture and dry needling has seriously relieved it which points towards a muscular issue? It's weird lol!

That said this one wasn't too bad. It's mildly tight today but no soreness or pain. I managed some light jumps and DB lunges and RDLs (light) last night and woke up with no discernable issues. The week off definitely helped tho. I felt "weak" but my legs felt so light. Very "quick" in warmups just lacking some oomph. I think this is what it feels like to be fully recovered CNS/muscular wise 😂

That said Im going to skip heavy back/front squats and deadlifts for the month of December and hit some lunge variations and maybe some SL DB BSS or possibly RDL and see how I respond. Should keep me fresher and allow my body to fully recover from spinal stressors I put on it weekly. Worst case my max lifts go down some. Best case I become more balanced unilaterally and hopefully that shows in some speed and explosive movements

that race walk video is absolutely bananas. how.

And of course. Back went out tonight on set 2of 435 doubles. Weird. Warmups felt absolutely explosive. Top single of 475 FLEW up. First set went easy and the second FELT easy but I felt it pop and just dropped it. Fuck my life. No more lifting this week, will try again next Sunday if I recover well. May drop all squat and deadlift for a month and focus on explosive accessory work. Sounds fun in season.

Otherwise interesting night for all the wrong reasons lol

Had to get the bus as car was being used. But recently when I go to track I witness some weird shit. Last week a guy making doughnuts with his car which you can hear screeching from a far and this time A mid size dog was running around very active, he jumped over the railing, which is at both sides of the road and ran across the road and jumped over the other railing, then later on he was coming at the railing diagonally and i see a car coming, I'm thinking maybe the dog will not jump over but rather it was coming at an angle directed at the car jumps over the railing and lands right in front of the car, emergency brakes pulled and dogs head and neck hits the headlights and breaks it and then it runs off a few meters and jumps over the other railing and stops and looks back and then it continues running lol. the car driver was keeping an eye to see who the owner was to be held responsible for the damages lol. It was a good session. I enjoy the feeling of running with a sled and then running without a sled. with the treadmill run I want to start at around 36km/h and then try progress on wards. Good session.

Same routine as last post for M-W-F this past week. Super sore today from helping a friend with rusty over used brakes on a car. Was grinding metal to metal. Took like 6 hours to replace the rears. Don't have many power tools to help so my forearms and back are super sore from so much clamping on vise grips and pulling on stuff.

Anyway, 2 nights ago I slipped in front of my house and hurt my palm pretty bad. Scrape wasn't too big but it was super deep, will upload pic later. Can't put even light weight on it, so I'll probably be doing strictly core/leg stuff this week.
