Good to see it all working out big fella. Well done on the log PR
Back Injury Update
Just wanna say thanks for the support lads.
Have been making small steps in a positive direction with my back rehab. Still a long ways to go though.
Can say with certainty this is the best it’s been at so far but also quite certain if I went ham I’d refuck myself up. Feel like stability is better heading towards normal again for day to day stuff so it’s progress
Still reading through McGills work so as far as I know there’s still more I can do to keep things moving in the right direction.
So the plan going forward:
More: Core Stabilisation Exercises+Warm Ups and gradual increase in loading
New: Glute Activation and Single Leg Work

Do them everyday, wether you lift or not. It’s boring, but it’s also your best shot at recovery
Glad to hear it’s getting better man. Be patient with it. What sorts of exercises are you doing for glute activation?
100kg would be good, I’ve push pressed that long ago, I strict pressed 75kg a few weeks ago with it.

In the grand scheme of things haven’t done too much TnG or high rep bench. So gonna see if there’s gains to be had there.
Gonna use reps @ 90kg as me bench mark. I think this is technically a PR just because haven’t hit reps like this before.
Next set @ 100kg felt a bit heavy in the hands, I’m a bit intimidated by it I think, so called it at 10 reps. Lifetime PR reps with two plates is 12 I think so not far off and a good place to start from.
Finished with a bit of log technique work.
Building from here.

Bit of deadlifting. Bit heavier weight. I tried this a few weeks after my injury and it flared that shit up again but this time it felt pretty good. Progress. Long way to go but feeling pretty hopeful.
Tried out some other accessory rehab-y movements too to see if they are worth including: Kettlebell swings, step ups, pistol box squats and Cossack Squat. I like the kettlebell swings for moving good.
Sumo Deadlift 80kg x 4 Sets
Conventional Deadlift 80kg x 4 Sets
Lunges 2 Sets
Kettlebell Swing
Step Ups
Pistol Squat

You have allot of virus compression gear right?
