I still have to draft up some sort of normal routine. I usually go in blind and pick out what I want to do as I walk around the gym.

I do regular deadlifts on my back day. I do straight leg deadlifts on leg days after working quads and resting a good 5 minutes. I do back on Monday and legs on Thursday (usually) to avoid overworking the hamstrings.

Had killer workouts the last two days. Ascending and descending pyramids with a two exercise supersets. No rest between exercises. Had to check my ego at the door and knock down the pounds but it was worth it. I am so sore tonight that I can't sleep.

I will be so glad when our season is over and I can finally work on my health again. I lifted tonight and I can already feel the soreness creeping up after 5 hours.

Stiff legged deadlifts are the best for hamstrings, killer exercise.

Did you still drop the weights?

There's always that guy who's dropping the barbell straight on the floor at the gym, super-irritating.

My gym's bumper plates are crappy. Did overhead press today. Hand is still screwed up with the busted blister so I have to finesse the bar. Heh.

Hate barbell shoulder press. I prefer dumbbells, bring them down next to my ears then rotate 90 as I press up, sitting on a flat bench with no seat back. None of that sissy cheater stuff.

My buddy recorded my deadlift today as I tried to up my max to a measly 235lbs, previously 225lbs. Just so happened that I hurt my lower back pretty bad, heard/felt at least 2 vertebrae pop. He said I had okay form but I could clearly see where I had messed up. Sadly, I'll be out of commission for a bit again. This really sucks. Maybe I should just start high reps instead of going heavy, especially since my main goal is to cut as much as possible.

Dont worry about maxing out, do a weight that you can control for reps. Hope the back gets better soon.
