Welcome back, and good luck with the back.

Will flush the cache and see if that helps.

Back is a pain. At least once a year I have a spell. So much driving this summer has been the culprit. Feels a little better today, I pray by Monday that I can return to a some what normal routine.

Reading McCallum's Book , The Complete Keys to Progress, ever read it?

I like that book a lot.

Great book! Love the characters he creates, nice writing style. Made me laugh way more than once. I'd change places with Marvin any day.

Take care of that back!

Man, I must be the last person on the planet to read this book. Does have me thinking.

Hope it keeps improving.

Mine is similar to this.



Easier to use than inversion boots and a bar.

Woke this morning with no pain, minimal discomfort now. Good signs. More back rehab work later today to help.

My training partner for the day!

GETTING BACK AT IT!

Plans were to get up early, take the van for it's inspection, come back and workout. Things rarely go as planned. Failed inspection, we literally wore the tires out this summer. By the time I walked home, my morning training window had closed. Noon time I entered the Dog House. Back is still not 100%, but I am itching for more.



NOTES
Been a weird past few weeks. Lots of travel and back issues. Starting to get back to normal. Once Band Camp ends friday, life returns to a more normal routine.

Last Tuesday one of the ladies coming to Fit For the King brought her new friend up. She is a former fitness competitor who want a low stress environment while she decides if she wants to go for her pro card. Mostly machine trained, so I had to explain my hybrid workout I have some of them doing, but outstanding form! A bit intimidating, but she is super nice which helps.

I don't feel I can handle back squats and deads right now so I will be using Front squats as my primary quad builder and chest supported back work for the backs. Today was fun, it felt good to return to,some normalcy.
