Been working S&S with the 53lb for 4 weeks. I feel like I definitely “own” the weight. Next week I start step loading the 70lb bell into sets. Really enjoying this program!
Had to drop chins as my elbow is flaring up some issues. Going to start rehabing it with the theraband and stretching etc… luckily the swings and getups dont seem to irritate it.
In other news I am able to do actual pistol squats now. I am going to slowly start adding those into the daily work.

Afternoon:
Had the day off work and spent it trimming trees for about 10 hours straight. Even helped the neighbor do some of theres. Was a lot work but never felt “pooped”. I could of kept going. Didnt get time for frequency method or cardio but was a solid day of manual labor.

Bad day…did something to my back again and now its hard to even stand up straight. Im disheartened beyond belief. I feel like I am doing all that I can and it seems inevitable my back goes out.
I was feeling so good on s&s and finally thought I found the ticket to get away from chronic back pain. Im obviously done with swings and getups for awhile until I can get this pain down to a tolerable level.
Just sucks man… training is my sanity. Its my one constant each day. My stress relief. My goal setting. Without it I feel lost and unfulfilled. Im not trying to sound dramatic as I know there a bigger problems in the world. I just feel so down and now the long road to recovery yet again.
May look into PT again but it has failed in the past. My moms family has horrible backs and most of my uncles have had back surgery. My mom has had it twice now. I have a bad feeling thats my future as well. I wanted to find a way around it.
