Starting up a log at the request of mschatz.
I basically workout like a retard and just do whatever I feel like doing. I do have goals, but I do a shitty job at achieving them because I never have a set routine.
About a month ago I messed my back up deadlifting. I hardly deadlift, and I had a contest coming up on 6/16 that had a deadlift, so I planned on doing some sub-max deadlifts just to get the feel for them. I had only 455 on the bar, pulled it for a single easily. Go to do it again a few minutes later, and about an inch off the floor my back popped louder than a mother fucker. My friend heard it from at least 10 feet away over the music playing and the other people int he gym. I instantly got a tingling sensation down my leg that lasted for a couple seconds. A few minutes later the pain kicked in. My doctor thinks I slightly ruptured a disc in my back and wanted me to get an MRI. He also prescribed me pain killers and an anti-inflammatory. My insurance company's policy is that I have to get an x-ray before an MRI, so by the time I got the x-ray and my doctor got the results, I wasn't in pain anymore so I decided against getting the MRI. Probably a stupid idea, but whatever. So basically the last few weeks I haven't really done any real training, and I am feeling very week, especially in my legs. I am also kind of afriad to deadlift now. The other day I pulled 225 just to see how it felt, and although there was no pain at all, I was too afraid to go heavier.
Ok, to the training..
