8-10-14 – Max Effort Lower Body, Testing My Sore Back
Today was the first day training squats since my lower back mishap. I was worried on how it was going to react with the amount of stress I was going to be putting it through. I decided to do front squats so I wouldn’t be tempted to go really heavy. I made sure during my sets that I would inhale as much air as I could and fill my belt with my tight “power belly”. This helped stabilize my lift and keeping pressure off of my back. I felt more confident with each rep I performed. I know this is going to be a long process to get back to where I want to be but with this sport, you have to be patient. I will take it one step at a time and work on my weaknesses. It was an overall good session. I am looking to improve and can’t wait to compete!
