Had my epsom salt bath which relaxed the hell out of me on easter. Back is feeling very good it is WAY looser then it was before, it was def. limiting my mobility and lifting before. The only thing really still jacked up is the erector on my left side but i can work through it. Going to keep using the foam roller this week and keep it loose. Also gonna soak in the hot tub the night before at the hotel. Might do some cardio this week but im trying to just take it easy and rest up because i got a little cold coming on so i don't want it to get worse. Same damn thing happened last year, got sick right before my fucking show but didn't really effect me much. I could have one leg and still compete just because i wouldn't back out even if i was on my death bed. Will update if i do anything this week, if not ill have videos of the show and pics!

Thanks bro. Had a pretty good workout today! Feels pretty good when you don't have any goals or set things you need to do and can actually relax and lift what you want in the gym, lol. Going to take the bodybuilding approach for a while and drop the weight and up the reps at least for the next 2 months if not all summer. I am basically waiting for my body to heal up and say "lets go!!!" before i start pushing for more again. Weight is staying solid around 220 so i am VERY happy about that. Back feels alot better today and did not bother me at all during my workout.

Another decent workout. Went nice and easy. Back was a little tight and sore this morning probably from working out last night and i had my GF over and it sucks trying to sleep 2 people in a single bed. Did some light back work just to loosen it up. Traps are still very very tense even with light weights.

Seated Cable row -

light weight x 15 reps stretching and loosening up back for a few sets

BB Rows -

bar x10 palms forward x10 palms backward
95lbs x10 palm forward, x10 palms backward 2 sets of each

Wide Grip Pulldowns -

120lbs x10 4 sets grabbed bar as wide as i could to really hit lats.

Then i did some seated DB curls then some DB single arm preacher curls all with 30lb DBs, high reps.

Ab Chair leg extensions -

couple sets of 6, abs are sore from yesterday. Did these on that chair thing where you support yourself by your arms. not sure what its called, abs really arent my thing, lol.

I thought you were going to completely back off until you got your back in order.
