Splits & Squats- Day 11


Day of rest. Was meant to do another stretch series today. Middle/upper back was completely fried. Almost to the point of spasms. Got out for a couple of walks then had some pizza and a few beers.

Stretch session pushed till tomorrow then wil do a double on Saturday to catch up.

Splits & Squats- Days 12 & 13

 
Back is still fried. Having to hold my breath every now and then to stop the spasms. I'm pretty fucking pissed but what do you do? I think it was either the pause squats or the single leg good morning. That along with me sitting at a desk for 10+ hours a day right now. Something went wrong there. Not going to squat today obviously. Will get some simple movement going and see how I go from there.

On a more positive note I have a couple of test subjects for my coaching. Two mates (one basketball, one martial arts) have agreed to be my guinea pigs. I'm writing out their programs today and am pretty stoked to see how they go.

damn.. yea don't rush back into things (squatting/rdl's) at all with that going on, imho.

pause squats can be pretty intense. i'd think that was more of a culprit than the sl-rdl's.

The spams sound fairly intense. I have the same issue sitting at a desk for long periods of the day Monday-Friday, which isn't too good for mobility. All you can do is rest. I think adarq is spot on- it's probably the paused squats that triggered it.

Thanks boys. I think you're spot on. I got some video feedback on the squats and I was leaning too far forward. Oh well, not to worry.

The sitting is definitely killing me. Sitting for 10+ hours a day is just shit. Going to set an alarm for every hour to get up and do something next week.

Also, just reread my post. Didn't realise it at the time but I've obviously seen this movie one too many times

That sucks. im sure you'll bounce back quickly. It sounds like one of those random tweaks you dont know even happened and the symptoms randomly appear down the line. Im dealing with a hip thing which i dont know when it happened but i've tried to stick to recovery squats (empty bar up to 40kg) just to keep the movement fresh and allow healing to happen. Have laid off my daily bike cardio as well limiting it to 20mins. Been taking ibuprofen to get the inflammation down and im hoping to slowly ramp up as i heal. But keep training just do things which dont make it worse.

I did something similar to my mid right thoracic region within the first couple of months of training.
Heavy paused front squats did it, straining up a rep with the upper back a bit rounded as tends to happen on limit front squats.

Took ages for it heal as well, at least a month, as it lingered, but was able to train through it, just had to stop front squatting.
Soft tissue work with a ball against the wall helped

Fark man I hope you're healing up ok. What's your hip thing? I'm going to do a hip mobility session tomorrow with the Real MVMT guys so I might be able to look out for something for you.

I had a hot AF shower tonight and was able to crack my back all the way up. That plus a decent stretch of hammies has me feeling better. Still a bit tight but hoping I can restart on Monday. Maybe just with a lower weight.

Damn paused squats. I definitely think mine is a combination of too much accumulation and lack of preparation. Fingers crossed it seems to be getting better quickly.

Yeah I was laying on the ball and a pvc pipe today on the floor. Helps a bit. I also get my kids to walk on me. They think it's hilarious but it feels great for the lower back and hammies.

Back feels better today. Not 100% but definitely a lot better.

Resetting the splits and squats program and am going to jump back to day 1 tomorrow. May start at 60kg this time and grow from there. May take me 3 cycles to get to 150kg. Could be worse things to do with my time

Did a 2k run in 11min. Wanted to go for longer but ended up running quicker. It was more of a blow off some steam run than a training run. Just nice to be moving relatively quickly again. Need more of this.

Decided to take an extra day yesterday. Will train today even though I'm not 100% I think it will do me more good to train rather than not. Not going to be pushing any back to back days though.
