Sunday quick session
Back is still bothering me, hope it heals up before this comp. we will see, 2 week deload upcoming. Today was just an extra speed workout to loosen up

Jump rope
3 minutes

Sprints
10 sprints x 40-50 yards
Did not go all out, probably 90%

Then just did some recovery stuff. Time to heal

Lots of light reverse hypers. Low back is still hurting, it is really weird and I am hoping it goes away. I think I am going to take an anti inflammatory tonight to see if it helps. I thought reverse hypers were a good idea to flush some blood through.

Suggestions welcome, less than 2 weeks out from comp

Good stuff bro!!! I need to fit my sprints back in!!!

I would chill on any direct lower back stressful work, and maybe cut cardio in half or keep it minimal. I would also watch your overhead presses and maybe cut them down a hair just to maintain.

Thanks steve, I am planning to keep the stress low and do some rehab work. Tomorrow I am going to do lower body but no loading the spine. Going to do DB split squats and focus on a stretch and then tons of reverse hypers.

Next week will pretty much be completely off

Very easy day did minimal agility stuff and some walking

Treadmill

Silly ploy drills in my basement, tough to do much

Another 10 mins on the treadmill

Easy session, starting to heal.
