Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : VMOs, quads, hamstrings, glutes , shoulders and traps, all minor
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Game was very uptempo this time. Gassed out at some point but generally endurance was improved, being able to keep the uptempo much more than expected.
Speed and quickness felt improved. Vert was the same.
Strength feels very good though, like it is improving every time. Maybe its just in my mind, but still im loving it, haha

Yet another work & life attack. Mostly work. Got away with the previous one calling it a de-load but this one is definitely de-training and de-railing.

5 December 2018

Bodyweight@session : ~85,5kg
Soreness : some legs and lats and chest but not too much
Injuries/aches : lower back, FML

HANG POWER CLEAN:
10@20kg
8@30kg
5@40kg
-Was getting this sharp pain at the base of my lower back. Felt like it was the spine. Uh-oh. Stopped

BICEPS Z-BAR CURLS:
10@30kg ( -2,5 kg )
10@30kg ( -2,5 kg )
10@30kg ( -2,5 kg )
10@30kg ( -2,5 kg )
-Took a step back bc of detraining. Still strong, nice.

TRICEPS ROPE PUSH DOWNS:
10@110lbs ( -10 lbs )
10@110lbs ( -10 lbs )
10@110lbs ( -10 lbs )
10@110lbs ( -10 lbs )
-Same with biceps.

STATIONARY BIKE:
15 mins: 10km / 150kcal worth.
-Upped lvl from 4 to 5 and rpm from ~70 to ~80 so got same results i get with 20-25 minutes.

So this back thing appeared on Sunday, out of nowhere, felt like a strain. Monday i was fine, went to the gym , squatted, no bugging. Tuesday was painless too. Wednesday all day too. And then Wednesday night while power-cleaning, pop, here it is again. Today i woke up fine but as the day progresses it hurts again. Will skip basketball. Hope its a minor muscular strain or sth, feels awful to be broken.

damn dude.. really hope it's nothing & disappears soon.

ya man HPC is intense. should probably stay away from that for a while, and here you were just re-focusing hard on it etc.

Yeah it got worse, Friday was very bad. Looks like its muscular though which is good news. Been on NSAIDs since Friday, it is getting better every day. Might get an MRI scan anyway to check for hernia, im postponing it for now since the daily improvement is exponential.

Nah it won't go. Week of NSAID's is ending tomorrow, gonna schedule an orthopedic appointment & MRI scan. Shitting my pants even thinking it will be herniated disc. Anyway lets stay calm until we have a diagnosis.

I'm hoping you've just strained your multifidus (at the base of the spine, near the coccyx, and almost running parallel with the spinal column). I remember that getting very tight on me when I was doing a lot of power cleans. Good luck!

That sounds very very accurate actually. Sometimes it feels like it is right on the coccyx. The whole area around there is numb/achy.
Thanks for the info and for wishes!

Thanks man, hope its muscular too. Orthopedic appointment ( and MRI if needed ) is Tuesday.

Got examined, nerves are all intact, it is most probably not herniated disc but a small scale disc degeneration. If it wasn't for sports i would be good to go, but he prescribed me an MRI because i want to continue doing what i did, so he needs a clear image of what's going on down there to adjust my training/sporting... precautions. MRI is tomorrow.
So most probably that's not the end, looking positive for a strong comeback in 2019.

:lololol:

good news!

disc degeneration still sucks but, def better than a herniation. still, have to be careful.

i'd personally probably lighten it up a bit, lower intensity + a bit more volume, and i'd also cut out "catch" exercises (like HPC etc, way more intense on the spinal column), jumps too maybe (unless on great surfaces, ie really nice indoor gym). i mean at least for a while. then re-evaluate.

pc!!
