Matt76's Training Log

pretty sure it's a herniated disc. This is the third freaking time it's happened since april/may. Shitty part is I was just starting to feel strong

Was pretty surprised with how today went. I haven't ate to well lately and I have been helping my g/f move on a bum back for the past 2days. It was weird though b/c my back actually felt decent today and my right leg quit hurting from what I suspect is a pinched nerve.

Anyway, I am very happy with a 405 close grip. I wasn't planning on going higher than 365 today but it went up pretty fast so I said the hell with it.

Great workout today. This was the first time in a long time I felt off balance doing Overhead work. I think it's b/c my back and abs were still sore from Friday and that is also the reason why I wore a belt today. I actually don't like wearing it b/c I tend to arch my back more when I use it
