feel better soon! Rest so you can recover!

Sitting too much wrecks my back by shortening the Psoas.
I do a variety hip flexor stretches and press-up back extensions (google McKenzie Method). Those have shortened my rehab time a lot.
I’ve also learned that if my glutes aren’t fully activated before squats or deads, I’m probably going to pay.
Getting older sucks.
Thanks folks, for checking on me.
5’s day, bench, training max 265, top set 225.
Bench: 45 x25, 135 x5, 185 x5, 205 x5, 225 x10, 185 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5.
Machine Rows: 2 plates x 10, 4 plates x 10, 6 plates x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.
DB Incline Bench: 70s x 10, 10, 10, 10, 8.
Stairs: 20 flights.
Notes: My back is still tweeky but I’m gonna roll with it. I’m trying some of the mobility tips posted above, thanks for that folks. I’m going back to straight 5-3-1, at least for a cycle or two, then we’ll see. My main focus will be to cut some fat and try not to lose any strength. Day 3, ultra low carb, morning body weight 217.6. I’d like to hit 200 lbs. by tax day.
Cautious Squat Day, 5’s, TM 370, Top Set 315:
Squats: 45 x10, 135 x5, 225 x5, 275 x5, 315 x8.
Front Squats: 135 x5, 185 x5, 225 x5, 275 x1.
Leg Press: 6 plates x10, 12 plates x10, 16 plates x 10.
Stairs: 20 flights:
Notes: I felt a bit weak and my hip flexors are tight, but I’m ok with today. Leg Press hurt my hip flexors the most, but nothing too traumatic.
Morning BW 214.
