On to the PT! I decided to try my hand at lifting this week. I've had a few weeks off, and I decided to see what happened. My workout went fine. I found one repetition maxes on the overhead press and back squat. I was excited, as I had improved from the last time I found my one repetitions maxes. Then it happened... I was standing at the sink brushing my teeth and my back seized up. I thought I was going to fall to the floor. At that moment, I decided I am not lifting heavy weights for the rest of the year. So much for being able to hulk smash people. I am going to concentrate on running and metabolic conditioning workouts (metcons). I will put the deadlift, back squat, and overhead press into my metcons, but I am not doing them separately. It is causing my back too many issues, and for goodness sake, I love carrying around my 20 pound boy!
Remember, the workouts listed below are a representation of what I completed this week. Please consult your physician before beginning a physical training program.
