Went thru it twice, wore trackies so got a little hot. Nice cold shower afterwards and a big feed of 600g of steak, with a side of bbq sauce!
 
Yesterday I did bench & deads & low ring flyes. Little sore today, went a bit heavier on the deads, but not from the floor. I cant bend that deep and pick anything that heavy up, STILL!!! But I had an unreal stretch for about 45 mins last night while watching the cricket once young CJ was in bed, so all in all a decent workout and post workout recovery..

I'm out of breath just reading that
Well done Taurus
 
I'm brushing any kind (light or otherwise) of deadlifts. Have been out of action since Friday arvo with bad back pain. It's only muscle, but with my history of back operations its not worth it. Back to subbing in chins and all their variations when any program I pick up suggests deadlifts. A little upset about it, but that's what I'm hearing my body tell me.
Back into it this arvo, feeling good today
 
Fark mate thats not good to hear at all :( its good that you listen to what your body is telling you though... Many people dont and just try and push through it..

Do you have to go to physio or just do a little self rehab at home?
 
thanks [MENTION=895]Shrek[/MENTION]; & [MENTION=14860]Mackie[/MENTION];
Stretching like a mofo all weekend, massage too. Back feels alot better, but my days of deadlifts are now behind me...
Just did this last night, with LIGHT squats. May end up subbing in lunges & step-ups for them eventually...
Bench is fine, as my back is supported the whole time. These %'s going on 150kg 1rm on bench. Squat 1rm 90kg

Bench 50% 5 reps x 1 set, 60% 4 reps x2, 70% 3 reps x2, 75% 3 reps x5
Squat - 50% 5x1, 60% 5x2, 70% 5x5
Bench - 50% 5x1, 60% 5x1, 70% 4x4
Low Olympic Ring Flies - 10x5
Good mornings - 5x5
 
Definately a smart thing to do dropping squats and deads if they are going to be causing you problems in the long run, and as you know there are substitute exercises you can add in there.

Sorry to hear mate, I'm in the exact same boat after today, tweaked lower back on deadlifts and I know I'm going to pay for it these next 5 days at work. Giving them up for a while :(.
 
Tuesday did my beach session, water was COLD!

20 push-ups on the surf club steps, then run 80m or so, dive into the water & run back. 45 seconds rest and do it again.
