Had questions about the BFS program and I answered them today - NOT FOR ME. Too much stress on the lower back. I had lower back problems when I was younger (Degenerative Disc Disease one doc told me). Lifting has helped immensely, but I am still very careful with it. But this is just too much on it. It usually takes me at least 3 days to recuperate from squats. It sucks, cause I hate giving up on any program, but I know my body well enough to know this is no good. My lower back hurts big time right now, the most it has in years.


Finished up with 15 min of cardio to try and stretch the fucking back out.

well, up until I completely fucked my back up today (sharp stabbing pains when I get out of my chair - awesome!), I can honestly say that I was at about 80% of my original strength when I was doing 5x5. Hard to say cause I exceeded my original numbers in the squat and DL, but not there yet in pressing movements (thanks shoulder). but I am also cutting now cause I got (more) fat, so my strength isn't up there right now. once I am done cutting and can put my energy into eating and getting back into it my strength will be back.

may the force be with you.

Well, I need some prayers or good luck charms or fucking something. My lower back is in some serious pain. Sharp stabbing pains when I sit down and it gets worse when I try to stand up. I hope to God this goes away in the next few days. Another injury might actually cause me to kill a person. No gym for me until I figure this out.

maybe a pinched nerve. those hurt like a sumbitch. just be careful and have it checked out if it goes on too long.
