Well, I'm back into it. I can't avoid the weights and Pull-Ups forever, so I decided to get back into it by finishing off my most recent round of X3 resistance. I definitely modified on the Pull-Ups, and I went back down to 7.5kgs for the one weighted move. But all was not well. It started off well, I was fresh and I pumped out all the reps with not much pain, especially the Pull-Ups, but after finished the second round, my back suddenly started to feel a bit gimpy. Like I had wrenched it again, but I didn't feel anything like I had wrenched it. The pain and discomfort were just suddenly there. So I slowed down my pace some and took more shorter breaks. But my lower back just got more and more painful. I gutted out the last two rounds, and I went a little lower on the Burnout, but I got on a great burn and my arms and upper body got a great pump. Oh, as for modification, I used the green resistance bands for my Pull-Up assist or I wouldn't have been able to get even one, and I really didn't want to re-injure my side. Arms got an incredible burn and a pretty good pump as well. I think something happened to my back on the 4th move, Lunge Thrust Press. I must have jammed my back more than it felt. I'm feeling a lot of discomfort as I type this, but I'll get through it. Here is the worksheet for the routine:
Even though I did abs yesterday, I went with the same light routine today and really slow up the pace and focus on the flex and contraction of the abs. I got through all ten moves with a good burn.
The splits and Flow were fine, but the Flow was especially tough today because of the additional back pain. Again, had to gut through the pain.
In the end, I torched a good 820+kcals. I got the burn and the pump I was expecting. But I wish I didn't pick up that extra back pain. I hope it clears up tomorrow because I'm thinking of going to play tennis tomorrow with that new club since I don't have my night class. We'll see.
