WHEN IS ENOUGH - ENOUGH?

If you read my last log entry, which everyone should have, you would see how great I was feeling. Well, that didn't last long. I squatted Wednesday and then Thursday my low back was all kinds of tweaked. It's so mf'n frustrating to constantly be taking one step forward and two steps back. Now I have a few things to tackle. First and foremost, I want to train pain free and wake up pain free the next day. If it was squatting that set me back what was the problem? I have a feeling it is me searching for my form. However, searching for my form while training circuit style is not conducive. So what's the answer for that, box squatting. I am an extraordinarily proficient box squatter. I don't know why I have been fighting reverting back to these. It's not like I'm even close to competing anytime soon. Simple, so now I just have to implement them in my program. While I'm at it, I am going to revert back to deadlifting with the upper handles on the trap bar. It's just a safer position for me. I still don't know what it is, but I feel like these changes are crutches. Like I'm making excuses, but to whom and why I have no idea. It's probably myself. Early on in this, you remember I said two things. The other is getting my low back strong. This is my weak link. It's time to put my thinking cap on and reach out to some of my esteemed colleagues to remedy this. I have to keep thinking long term. Training and rehab are not instantly gratifying efforts. Slow and steady needs to be the pace. I just wish I could stop swimming upstream with my training. It's the only aspect of my life where I do that.
