Sciatic Pain When DLing - This is F'ed Up!

[b fold the truth]

I'll wait till later on the week to check on the "re-circumcision".

I just hate taking valium, a muscle relaxer, pain injections and tylenol with "stuff" in it, and other things. Feel like a goofball (more of one) for most of the day.

We will have an electric outage tomorrow morning from 7:30-11:30 so I may have to have a protein shake followed by McD's. (Son to babysitter) then...

Reverse Hypers
Pull Throughs
Sled Walking
Stretching
Hanging Leg Raises
Pull Down Abs
Box Squat: 502, 578, 655 x 5
Speed Deads if possible
Front Squats if possible
GHR (maybe, maybe not)
Abs
Stretching
Valium, muscle relaxers, tylenol with "stuff", protein shake, lemon ade, and drive home.

The massage therapist has promised to "hurt me" again Friday afternoon.

Try the GHR with bands!!

What the hell are abs?

I also see no kickbacks in that routine. You need those.

GHR's with chains are harder...and they look cooler too. And I get a cool rust mark across my neck and shirt.

I think that abs are what screwed me up. Watching vids of Kroc doing sit-ups holding a 45 over his head so I started killing myself on those, think I moved too heavy too soon. Gotta have strong abs to have a strong squat/deadlift/yoke/farmers. I did have to explain to someone the other day that I was NOT training my abs hard so that I could SEE them...then I went to McDonald's.

I'll do the kickbacks just for you

Please also superset some hammer curls while sitting on a swiss ball in your rack.

I dare you to post that video.

was it just when you deadlifted?

mine seems to be when i sit up, sit down etc...

I think it comes from being sedentary after my low and upper back injury and the month off. I will walk tonight and start chest workouts tomorrow. I've been reading on the internet and moving is the key and correcting any muscle imbalances which I suspect to be very tight and weak hamstrings. I will ease into squatting and DL again.

This sciatic is no joke and hope I can clear it up.

I sucked today!

Spent 45 minutes "walking", warming up, stretching, reverse hypers, release therapy with a baseball, foam rolling on my steel log, HOT creams, pull throughs, putting on my shoes, etc... I did my 65% set with 502 x 5 and couldn't arch 575 out of the rack. I tried about 10 times but couldn't get everything to push to arch it out. My right hip flexor was twitching just standing up.

Drove home and I've been walking around for hours with my briefs on...lol. I also bought a 2 meter long 2x10 piece of wood that I can hang between my kitchen counters to do "reverse hypers" on. I think I've done 30 sets today. Amazingly enough it provides enough relief for about 20 minutes at a time.

Getting better daily...I just want to be able to push hard. If I can't push, I can't hit big numbers, and the guys with the SCL won't even give me a look for next year. I simply NEED a 770 box squat, 805 deadlift, and 352 log press. NEED it...with a sense of urgency that doesn't let me sleep at night.

well, I re-fucked my low back today box squatting. Its been a month since I set foot in the gym and figured I'd be good to go but accelerated 135 too fast of all things and tweaked the left spinal erector. Very low tendon tie-in with pelvis near the glute which is driving the fucking sciatica crazy. I don't feel like I have a compressed disk.

I hate that word: sciatica. I hated it before I had one and thought it was made up shit. Now I hate it even more.

I'm pissed I can't squat and dead. Oh and sitting back on a bench hurts like a bitch because of it too. sorry for rant.

going to doc tomorrow or asap.

Started taking magnesium, heard it helps.

Valium, muscle relaxer, strong anti-inflammatories, did 30 sets of home made reverse hypers yesterday. They help the most.
