Workout: What did you do today?

[Guybrush]

I have well and truly fell off the wagon and I'm struggling to get back on it. Maybe I should use this thread for some accountability 🤔

I've been back on for a little while now 🙂 once you get back to it, you'll probably find motivation.

I try to do something every day. It doesn't matter if it's a 5 minutes jog or a single set of pushups. As long as it's something, that's enough 🙂

I find it motivating and so have stuck to it. Today was bench press and pullups with a tiny bit of pushups as well.

I would've gone for a run, but my legs are useless after squatting yesterday for the first time in like.. 5 weeks 😅

Just noticed your message sorry GB, yeah I am starting to persuade myself the same way. I have done several 20min walks the last few days and it has been working.

How have you been getting on with your running? I still need new trainers and have no money to buy them 😒

Running is awful 😄

I did like a 7 km run some days ago and it was, frankly, pitiful. I felt heavy and got quite sore from it. So.. need to do that more 🙂

Back pain has prevented me from doing certain things the last month or so, like running and doing squats, though I've recently done both now. But yeah, I can definitely feel that I've had break. I did get some biking done during that period, though, so I haven't been sitting completely still.

I've done a lot of bench pressing the last week or two so I think I'm breaking through a plateau there.

[jimmy jazz]

How much you bench pressing now Big T?

Haha running is something I love until I am doing it 😆. 7km is a great distance, well done on sticking with it.

How did you hurt your back? That's a shame you have had to take a break, I can remember you were in a great routine. You'll get back to where you were in no time.

What sort of biking have you been doing? Is it an indoor one or do you like getting out and about?

Well done on breaking through your plateau 👏


Edit: I've hit all my steps today, I aim for the old 10000 lol. I have a desk job so it does take a decent amount of effort for me. It's been hard to reach on office days so wish me luck for tomorrow when I'm in 😫

I hurt my lower back during a deadlift session at the crossfit gym. I haven't really done much deadlifts. Ironically, one of the reasons is I've been worried about hurting my back. It always seemed kinda sketchy to me in that regard.

We had a weightlifting session first where we were supposed to do sumo deadlifts with a 3 second pause below the knee before extending. We were supposed to do 5 to 7 sets of 3 reps with the heaviest weight we could do the exercise. I actually felt like the 7 sets went fine, so wanted to do an extra set and push myself a little. The weight was 115 kg I think which isn't much imo and less than I've deadlifted regularly, but the amount of reps and the 3 sec pause made them harder.

I honestly thought this was enough to make it "safe", but as I extended on the last deadlift, I was tired and my shoulders were slouched a little forward. I waited there for a couple of seconds, then rolled my shoulders back and straightened a little more and I suddenly felt a pain in my lower back.

So then I knew I'd fucked up, but I hoped it wasn't too bad so proceeded to do the coming workout.. which included 50 more deadlifts, Burpees and jogging. I cut the weight on those deadlifts down to 50 kgs just to not strain my back much more and so the running was actually the worst. Each step was painful, especially at first.

The next day, my back was aching and very stiff, so getting shoes on etc. was hard. It doesn't hurt now unless I strain it by lifting my kids too much or doing stuff like squats. It's been about a month or so. Hoping it'll be completely healed before another month has passed.

After it first happened, I took a week off and then started biking a little indoors as that was something I could do without too much discomfort 🙂 I liked it, but I'd rather be in running shape than biking shape.

Good luck with your steps! Why did you fall off the exercise horse btw? Is it just summer stuff getting in the way?
