@throwawayfitness @simo74 @Koestrizer itā€™s something thatā€™s happened before a couple of times. No idea why, unfortunately. Hopefully be done in a day or two.

Iā€™ve tried looking back and i canā€™t see any training related links as to why iā€™m getting the back pain, other than it being August. Maybe iā€™m allergic to Augusts.

Either way, it seems to be simmering down to a manageable level so iā€™ve packed gym stuff ready to get back at it tomorrow morning.

Perhaps this?

I considered that, but the last challenge was air squats, which i canā€™t see being an issue with upper back problems.

Perhaps simply accumulated systemic fatigue resulting in a breakdown at the most fragile spot. Similar to how I tore a tricep deadlifting

That makes sense. When i embark on these challenges, i tend to also up other training volume and the ā€œinjuryā€ in my upper back is a common place for me to break if iā€™m going to break.

Work for tonight:
400 swings

Probably way off target now, but iā€™m planning to keep plugging away and see if i can make up the difference.

I was watching the start of the Crossfit Games while doing these, and iā€™m definitely losing interest in it. Thereā€™s not many competitors i care about anymore, and add in the increasingly tedious and clownish programming, iā€™m not sure iā€™ll bother tuning in next year.

These two often go together for me too.

@simo74 I donā€™t want to be that guy that goes out with family and eats a salad because thereā€™s nothing there that fits my macros. Seems to go against the entire point of this.

Work for this morning:
8 rounds:
25 swings
3 med ball slams

Notes:

  • Did the maths out of interest last night, and to hit the 10k, i only need to do a shade over 400 every day for the rest of the month. Sounds achievable, to be honest.
