My back is mind phucking me. Was tight and sore this morning. Then on my warmup walk it started cramping in the lower left side...Dafukbrah?! Then when I started deadlifting it began to warmup and feel a lot better. I could have done more weight but I didn't wanna be a retard. I will see tomorrow how bad the back is and judging by how it is I'll choose my intensity for the next week. During my workout I felt strong and I could have done much more weight. It was hard to call it quits on the deads and BB rows. But I know its the way to go if I wanna get to my goals in the quickest manner possible.

Nice work all around Colin, bench is still so strong, tossing around 275 like it's nothing. Ice baths ftw bro, that's what got me through smolov. Would fill up the tub with ice cold water, and dump like 4-5 trays of ice in there and sit for 10 min. It sucked ass but made such a difference in recovery.

Shower, then 20 min more ice
Lower back feels "ok". Its not getting much better but not getting any worse. My lower back recovery seems plateaued. My quads are definately the tightest. They're so tight its rediculous. I have slight right knee pain now too. Just gonna keep doing what I am doing and hope for the best.
I also stopped taking all nsaids. I was a retard and was taking way too many after my partial bicep tear earlier this year. I don't want my insides liquefying so I stopped for now. Its gonna be all stretching, curcumin and ice from here on out.
Also I'm thinking about keeping my squats to 315 for now. Gonna be doing more reps every week. Deads will probably be 365-405 for higher reps too when I get a little better. Would like a 315x20+ squat and 405x20 deadlift.Journal: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=139898123&page=240

I know you know more about lifting than I do, but it seems like you're trying to push through injuries too much man. The fact of the matter is sometimes you have to take 2 steps backwards to take 1 step forwards. Go see a damn physical therapist or chiropractor and get that chit looked at, seriously. Lifting is a long-term endeavor, and you gotta think of it like that and not get caught up in the day-to-day and week-to-week number chasing. Just my 2 cents.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

lol thanks my good Indian friend
You're absolutely correct man. Its a fine line between too much and too little when it comes to working around injuries. I love lifting and its a big part of my life so its very hard to stop it all together. I think I may have added the weight too fast even tho 315 is bitch weight for me now. That might be the mistake I made. We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning, that's always the main indicator. And yeah I am going to make a doc apt after xmas probably.Journal: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=139898123&page=240

hope you had a great christmas my dude!! yeah like some people said, just take a week or 2 off from anything that involves the lower back. I know it's hard, trust me, I'm dying that I can't squat, but it's better if you heal completely. I've been squatting around my injury for 2 weeks until I hurt myself even more before halloween and I haven't fully rested since. Even when I was almost better, I tried squatting again and I still got hurt again. Then in december I would stop for a week and then fall into temptation and try to work around it, but it wasn't worth it since it didn't get better. Now this is about to be my second week straight taking off from squatting and I might give it another week so it can completely heal. I BADLY wanna squat again. I would say rehab it and rest and don't work around it so it doesn't turn into anything worse. stretch your hamstrings too. and if you can, apply the icy hot balm. i've been using the icy hot and it made some difference. anyway all I'm really doing now is military press 3x a week. I'm getting stronger. Now I'm repping 185 and want to hit 5 reps on friday. I got 4 reps today. My strength has skyrocketed on this exercise. I even got 205 halfway up at the end. I think I got it fresh. I'm just also doing one set of a 225 bench repout and calves. I'll also add pullups too. No lower body stuff for a while and no deadlifts for a few weeks to get my CNS back in order. but anyway now I'm loving the military press and I'm hoping to even get 225 soon. get well man and hang in there. you'll recover
