Training Camp - KB's New Journal

[KillahBee]

Update:

Had my initial consultation with the PT today. Didn't start well at all. I was late (probably the first time I have been late for something in 8 years). She gave me a little attitude and I didn't play along. We ended up getting into a pretty big fight in the exam room - she tried to give me a lecture, I told her I wasn't paying her for a lecture and to just do her job, she kept up with the attitude, I told her not to piss me off, she told me not to piss off the pregnant woman from NY, I told her not to piss off the Italian kid who eats NYers for breakfast. We finally got over it and went to work.

Arthritic back, which I always knew. Gonna have to just do little annoying stretches for a while, which I knew and have done before. Strengthen the core. One major problem is that she told me not to DL, squat or BB row anymore. Or GMs. I laughed at her and told her that wasn't gonna happen. This will be a battle. I refuse to not do those exercises. She is not telling me to stay away from them b/c my back problems are severe - it's cause she has the same view as my mother (someone with no idea about the gym or the human body) and looks at the lift and says its dangerous for anybody and everyone. Fuck you hunny, you ain't winning this one. 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks.

I predict her bent over the desk taking it DOGGY within 2.5 weeks.

Update:

I start PT April 26th, 2x a week for about 6 weeks. Because of my experience with PT already (for lower back) and just my general knowledge on the subject matter, I pretty much know what the PT will consist of. Yesterday I bought and read the Core Performance Training book talked about here (thanks to casualbb and tom t for the reco) and it looks like this is a program that will definitely benefit me for stretching and recovery. I am traveling on business today through Tues, but am going to start the program tomorrow, since you can do most of the first week without a gym. Gotta get back in the gym with consistency, even though I can't really lift. I am obviously very dissappointed in this injury and the fact that I had planned on beginning bulking and my WSB routine in April, but I guess that;s life. Can't let it hold me down, cause it is the way it is. Get back to it when I can and then hit it hard. should have my sled next week too.

Have you thought about belt squats. Simmons is a big fan of them for those with back issues and it has some traction-like properties. Definitely use the time to your advantage one way or another (even if it's not lifting or physical - maybe learn something new or do something you've never had time to pursue but interests you). Sometimes a break is a blessing in disguise.

Day 1 of Core Performance

EDS 1, Movement Prep

I am traveling, so it is difficult to get in, but I am making it work. A few of these stretches are decently complicated, enough to make you read a few times and practice before doing. I can feel it mostly in my hip flexors and the likes. I'm liking this program and looking forward to the results.

Been traveling all day and have no access to a ball. Did the EDS and Movement Prep

Wk 1, Day 3

ESD 1, Movement prep, Regeneration

This program is definitely intense. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I need to get a foam roller though, cause my makeshift foam piece I used tonight is crap.

Wk 1, Day 4

ESD 2 (it was more like ESD 1...), Prehab 1,2,3

Damn, I would love to walk into the gym and see how most people in there handle a pillar bridge front hold for 20 seconds! bought a physioball and foam roller today.
