Brock back

Got to Gold’s in the morning to hit quads since I’ve got ball hockey tonight.

Session was a bit of a nightmare. The hack squat was taken, so I switched to front squats. The first set felt great — deep and heavy. But on the second set, around the fourth rep, I felt something like a pop/rip in my lower back.

Stopped immediately.

Could feel soreness (no real pain yet), but I’m a bit worried to see how the rest of the day goes.

Front Squats:
215 x 10
215 x 4 (stopped early)

Leg Extensions:
212.5 x 11
212.5 x 9

Single-Leg Press:
327 x 12/side
327 x 11/side

Leg Press:
637 x 12
637 x 9

Calf Raises:
410 x 15
410 x 12

Walking Lunges:
2 × 55’
2 × 55’

Quads still ended up very pumped, but I’m definitely concerned about the back.

By lunch it was feeling okay, so I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. Then after work it was Savages ball hockey — round 2 of the playoffs.

One of the best games I’ve played all season (with one minor turnover). We won in sudden-death overtime.

Next week is going to be interesting.

Rest tomorrow. Need to rest the back.
