Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

Bro you need to take a week off. How long has it been since you took an entire week off - no cardio, no lifting, no curls.........
I think every 12 weeks you should take a full week off. Then come back and do a week of high reps and then back on the real deal. When my current cycle ends I am taking 1 week off for sure as my lower back is getting sick of itself.

define "week" ... 5 day work week or 7 full days not doing anything remotely related to working out?

I'm deffinetly taking my 2 days off here (this is my "weekend" after day 3) and gauge my back and see what i'm going to do if it's not loose yet, i'm not going to keep hammering away and risk injury...it's my back... I do NOT want to be fucked and out of commision for a long time.

I liked my little dumbell workout ... and I used to struggle with 75's for around 7 I found in my journal (I repped 85's for 6...exhausted) Flat BB Bench has a Sweet Carry over

Who knows wtf I'll decide at this point, I don't. We will see how it pans out... hopefully injury free... looking into Health Insurance soon hopefully.

edit..

wouldn't a pintched nerve be constant pain?

Same with a disc problem?

...maybe?

Does the pain radiate? Does it shoot when you "tweak" it?

If yes then most likely its not just tight muscles.

Looks like you have a second "see a frickin' doctor already" opinion (to go along with mine).

It also appears that, unless that was just an off day or the back issue was affecting you more than you thought (see above), you might be stalled (sarge: "no shit, CS"). You could deload and move into an intensity block like T mentioned where you push your lifts, including the deadlift, for a few weeks.

[soapbox]But first you need to do something definitive about this back thing. Chiros, deep tissue massage, sleeping on a decent bed, eating 7000 calories (although not a bad idea ) and the like are NOT doing anything for the underlying problem (whatever that may be). Don't make me get KB in here to lecture you about this matter.[/soapbox]

sure do... It's my nature to have to ride it out to near "climax" before I do something... I'm thankful I can still walk after pushing that squat session.

Off day from being such a late session, yes. Affected from Deadlifts, yes... affected by pain in lumbar, yes... It was affecting me enough last night to make me lay down on an aeorbic stepper ( ) for about 5-8 minutes while the pain went away. No more pushing through that... i'm going to get it checked out... it's getting ridiculous.

That damned hotel bed I tell ya ... All goes well, I'll be getting some kind of bodily scanning done next week.
