I woke up and couldn't sleep at 3am this morning, so instead of just lying there and hoping for sleep I ended up going to the gym extra early. I was surprised to see a few people there at 4.
Nothing spectacular today since it is technically an off day (from Smolov at least). Basically did a pull workout with stepmill.
This may turn out to be a very looooong day....

Hey Clement, my back is not good. I'm to do squats today, but I think I made the right decision in skipping out on them. My back is very sore. Not happy.
Because of the back, Smolov was relegated to incline press only - 10x3x275.
Followed this up with Pull Up (8x10) and Pec Dec (6x10).
Once again I left this workout feeling rather disappointed.
Good news that it is Friday, and also Arnold Weekend and the Oscars. Who's winning?Team General Mills

My back is so tight. Any type of bend at the waist or even a simple squat produces pain. Not happy...

Did a little back, biceps and triceps this morning. Nothing drastic just high rep work. Followed this up with Stepmill. Most likely I'll do some more lifting and cardio after work.

Since I haven't trained legs in about a week because of the bad back, no squats situation, I decided that I needed to hit them somehow. Started slow with some extensions and curls, then actually did some front squats. I went suped light and did nice, controlled and slow reps. Back felt okay and I survived, so a relative success I guess.
Followed this up with Stepmill, because it's just so much fun...

Smolov and cardio this morning:
Incline Press - 9x4x265
Felt pretty good this morning (other than my back). I did make a point of using the foam roller in between sets. Hopefully this will help loosen the muscles back there.

Damn, V...that back is still jacked up? That sucks, brother.
You seem to be maneuvering decent workouts around it though.
And I'll third it...FU*K THIS WINTER!!!

I had gotten down to 216.5lbs with this, but it's climbed back to 220-221 in the last 2-3 weeks. Not sure why. I hate the fact that I outweigh so many of you but eat so much less. Really frustrating.
