Hit the gym yesterday and did legs. My workouts right now are all about getting back into a regular training routine post injury and post summer laziness! My 2 injuries of the year were lower back muscle tears and my tricep tear that I've talked about. I haven't been able to squat like a big girl or do any heavy weights. The pain has been from doing any motion like bench press, ohp, some of the side raises, cross overs, etc etc....so.....I'm just sort of trying out things I haven't done in months, keeping the weight super low and will be putting together a split from that.

I'm still having difficulty with my squat form but have been taking the advice I got in the weight lifting forum to work on it. I've been doing some foam rolling to help break down some of the scar tissue and increase flexibility in my lower back and hips and have just been practising the form. I'm good without the bar on my back but still having balance issues with the bar.

Diet wise....will be looking at 2000 calories with a 50/30/20 split to start. I may up that slightly but will decide in the next few days. I've been cleaning it up but would like to formally start a meal plan on the weekend. I'll post that up when it's done.

Hey Cg. I'm so impressed to see you working a way round these injures chic. Zed and owl commented on me doing this duck walk thingy lol IRS really great for loosing up for squats and deads Etc. I will try find the post and copy paste it for you. Wishing you all the luck in your goals this coming year chic.

Heres the post Cg ....After watching your vid several more times you deff need to lower your hips more. So on your off days do this. Keeping your back as str8 as you can, drop down into a squat just like a baby does. For the first few time just hold that for whats comfortable.
But then after the first few times do it like this.
Drop down into a babies squat.
Keep your back str8!
Now take steps...walk! We call this duck walking.
This will help loosen you up fast!
Just do it for a few mins several times per day on your off days.

Then go over to the Deisel site and

Hey Cali!

So great to have your posts to follow. You inspire me. Try not to be too hard on yourself about speed of progress. I have found in recent years that no fast results are good results.

A lot of women have substantial sports injuries because of the way we lift. it's like we are going for respect on every rep. That's not a bodybuilding workout, though, right?

Lay the foundation now. Bust down what isn't serving you. I will be breaking my foam roller out today too because of your motivation! PT the crap out of those injuries.

I am truly stoked to watch the next chapter of your career unfold. Baby steps. Make em good!

You can do it. I just hit 39 a week or so ago. A quote that I live by now is the following:

"It is not daily increase, but daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials."
-Bruce Lee

Focus on you. Cut out the bs and the people who bring it. Only you hold the key to your happiness.

You definately can do this!! I'm right there with ya in shooting to compete this year. Hoping I can gain enough muscle for figure...if not, then may have to do bikini. I'm so darn shy though, hope I can do it without passing out on stage. I'll be following your progress and cheering you along!
