Im the same with DL's, im going to keep lower weight as my back keeps hurting. Think i need to focus a bit more on form. I stopped as soon as it hurt yesterday so didnt do many DL's.
Workout Included: Back/Biceps
Wide Grip Chinups
2x5 (2 on first set, 1 on second set)
Neutral Grip Pullups
2x5 (2 on first set, 1 on second set)
Pullups/chinups are feeling much better.
DeadLifts
1x10 (132lbs)
1x7 (220lbs)
1x5 (220lbs)
Yea ok wasnt much, i stopped soon as my back hurt. I just wanted to at least do something though and i concentrated on form.

1x10 (level 16) 7 on my own
1x10 (level 15) 6 on my own
1x10 (level 13) 7 on my own
DB BOR's
1x8 (66lbs)
2x8 (60.5lbs)
Just used good form and really squeezed my lats.

Cardio
3/4 run
Shins still hurt a bit, i still need to get some new shoes so didnt go far. Was ok session, i can see myself looking bigger lately. I think its the consistant high protein intake every day

Well done. How much progress have you made on chinups/pullups in the last couple months? Just wondering.
Yeah, I'm definitely working on my form in DLs, and actually getting more volume in. I crunched the numbers (yes I'm a dork) and total weight lifted doing the 4 x 8 was like 9,460 lbs, total weight lifted doing the old 5 x 5 was 6,000 or so...so more volume with higher reps might do me good for awhile.
Yea the extra volume could do you some good for a while.
Tonight ill be doing primarly shoulders/triceps, im going for the 55lbs DB OH press, so 110lbs altogether which will be the most yet. 110lbs with a BB i can rep, but with DB's its a different matter. Ill post how i get on with it

Sweet, good luck with it man. You are so right about that though, DBs are a totally different animal that BBs.

Yesterday was a day off lifting, i went for a mile steady run, followed by 5 sprints. Sprint was roughly 20m flat, 20m uphill. My lower back started f**king killing me i dont know why. It hurt enough just doing the run, but it was sooo bad after the sprinting it was hard walking. Its hurting a bit today, wonder why though....
Bank holiday today, so gym is shut so if my back feels ok might go for a run.

Okay, update. Lump in my ass has gotten worse, hurts so bad I can't sit or lay down. Hurts so bad I'm sweating at work and feeling like I'm going to throw up. Hmm, might be time to see a doc. Some people told me it sounds like a Pelonidal Cyst (?) which is basically a really really bad ingrown hair or something. I am half German with a hairy ass, so who knows. All I know is it's getting worse, and life sucks right now.
Damn, more back pain? I'm sorry to hear that, friend. We are both not well it seems.
I called my doc and the old prick is outta town for 2 weeks! And conveniently, the on-call doc number they gave me has been busy all morning. This is horrible.
I wish I could workout, anything to take my mind away, but I think if I squatted right now, I would seriously pass out. Holy crapppppp

Well I went to a doc, and it was what I thought it to be. A nasty ass cyst in my buttcrack that hurts like hell. He gave me an antibiotic shot and more antibiotic pills to take to hopefully help fight it. Also gave me some Vicodins, haha. Sadly though, woke up today and it's the same if not worse. I will have to get cut open if it doesn't go away on its own.
Sounds bad man, hoping the best for ya lad
BTW is it just be or has this site been down today?
How did the Alpha male sheep treat you last night?
