SOOOOOOOOOO I am going to attempt 5x5 deads with 125 lbs, and 5x5 squats with 125 pounds and see how it goes, and how it feels tomorrow.

PLEASE, if any of you out there are religious types, PLEASE pray to the lifting gods that things are on the way up for me. I need to get back to that good place my life was at 2 months ago before everything took a nose dive.

Thanks in advance!!!!

May Crom smile upon you!

Prayers Sent!Hope ya killed it!!

Monday 2-11-13

Deads 125 x5x5x5x5x5

Squats 125 x5x5x5x5x5

Bench 140 x6x6x6x6x6x6

Back felt great during the lifting. As you all know, I have lost a lot of weight, it was hard and took a lot of willpower, also takes a lot of willpower to keep it off. BUT nothing compared to the willpower it took for me not to load another 50 lbs on the bar and dead some more...MAN that was tough!

Today, some lower back soreness, but agin feels more like the "bad mattress" soreness I get every day.

Plan for this week:

Add some more weight on Wed and Friday, see how it goes, hopefully be able to jump into 3X3 starting next Monday. Hoping 4 weeks with lighter weights will get me back in the groove for the second 4 weeks when the heavier weights start!

I used to wake up every morning of my adult life with lower back pain. Bought a sleep number bed and it went away within a week once I dialed in the sweet spot It is sooooo sweet to get out of bed in the morning with no back pain! Of course actual mileage may vary lol.

I hear ya Rich, this Temperpedic set was supposed to do the trick, it did for several months, but soreness is back...the sad part is I still owe 1350.00 on the stupid thing

Great work Marvin! You can do it bud! It's rough with the injury bug up your butt, but rest, heal, then crush!!!

[Squatter]

I hear ya - I also have a humungous itch to pull something heavy-ish.

I'll keep lifting the best I can if you do. Deal?
