Nice lifting.

My back aches everytime I squat. I hate it.

 

[Quadsweeps Sister]

Thanks.

yeah...I can't wait to be able to really squat again without pain. Hopefully the day will come.

Great log Qsis, any updates on your back and how training is going.

BTW-checked out your gallers, and damn you are gorgeous. This plat thing is maybe worth some thought.

Cheers,
Scotsman

Update...

Its been so long since I posted anything in my log...probably because I haven't had anything impressive to post. Since the last meet, I've let PL and heavy lifting go by the wayside. My back was hurt and shoulder were hurting so much, I was like WTF? I know we are all hurting sometimes, but I guess I was tired of it really. After 8 years of competitive BB and PL, I think I needed a mental break. Just wanted some time to lift or mess around in the gym or outside and feel like I wasn't pressured to "Get ready for something..."

For the first time in 7 years I have nothing coming up and I like it so far. I bought a Harley and so did my boyfriend. We have been riding and enjoying the summer. Both of us are athletic so we continue to lift, pull sled and etc., but nothing feels pressured. We are healing, both of us I guess.

Just wanted to thank everyone for commenting on my log and I will always be on the forum to help or chat or whatever. Thanks and take care.

funny, sis, I'm in the same boat.

I have just been flitting around the Carribean, swimming, diving, etc. Playing games like chess, go, backgammon and poker for cash. My left shoulder didn't stop hurting for like a week. I remember then, all the sudden one day, drinking on the beach, thinking, "For once in two years, I have no pain and no worries."

It's good to chill.

When back in the states, I started back with some Arnoldesque workouts.

Now I am two days into a 5x5 run. So I am just taking a mental and physical break. After 5x5, I'm going to probably continue the hypertrophy thing with an HST run (which I always find fun and relaxing).

I know I will lift heavy again. I always do. But I am way enjoying chill mode too, sis. Time to focus on the mind and the heart a little.

I guess the powerlifting forum is "Unplugged" this summer
