Baking and lifting, my kinda week.
Happy new year!
Happy New Year everyone!
As I slacked over the weekend I had to get in my max DL and my deload bench today.
DL 1x8x135, 1x6x165, 1x5x185, 1x3x210, 1x3x235, 1x1x255 → this is where I pulled my lower back, again… 
I have a deep tissue massage scheduled for tomorrow and I am icing my back right now. Fuck!
I am not going to do well at a meet if I can’t deadlift more then 260…
Bnech press
1x10x45, 1x10x95, 1x5x115, 1x5x120, 1x5x125
I was going to skip my deload week but I am going to wait and see how I come through tomorrow and how my back feels before I totally decide…
:(( do you have tennis ball or racquet/lacross ball? I will use this on my lower back and piriformis against a wall, also icy hot has a roll of tape that you can cut to size and does last a good 6-8 hours. I’ll use that at night. But massage is always best for me too. Hope it works itself out.
Does the gym have a reverse hyper machine?

No they don’t, bastards!
I was tight when I started the lift but as I came up the air just exhaled from my lungs. I have no idea why I couldn’t hold it.
Hi Ronda! Been meaning to come in and cheer you on with the lifts, always looking strong!
Keep on icing that back, hope it feels better soon.
I had my massage yesterday and that woman is a miracle worker. I have felt great, except for when leaning forward a bit and even that isn’t so bad, ever since.
Today I squated and it went well, of course it was deload, still, no pain

First time I have ever done rack pulls. I had to stand on a stool at the squat rack so I could get the bar in the right position. I also used my straps and I now have lovely broken blood vessels all over my hands, and they itch I think I like rack pulls though I could feel my low back working in a good way.

Happy New Year R - lookin good in the new Avi

Goodmorning 1x10x45, 1x10x55, 1x6x95
Pull throughs 2x10x30 (these felt weird)
I am sick and tired of cutting my “heavy” singles short, before they actually get heavy, because of my back. My core was tight, I was doing my kegal, I took a deep breath and somehow I still can’t lift with putting direct stress on my low back. I know it is an exercise for the glutial chain and it involves the back, that said I feel like I must be goodmorning-ing the bar, but I’m not. I can’t figure out how to fix this. I am very, very frustrated right now.
Good news, I have new PINK powerlifting belt! yay!
-
need pictures of new Pink Belt, please
-
have you tried pulling sumo? it is definitely different lift but may save your lower back a bit
-
do the GM’s hurt your lower back?
Here is the pink belt, I can’t get it buckled yet
I do pull sumo already
GMs sort of hurt my back. I do them after I DL so I am already feeling that. I have noticed that I can’t go very high in weight on those because it does hurt my back.
