Deadlift 5-5-5
Re-aggrivated lower back injury during first working set. Was able to maintain arch at 135#, 185#, and 225#. But, I could feel my back start to round once I moved up to 255#. Something strained on about the third or fourth rep. I'm particularly frustrated because I was focusing on form and being very conservative. I went back and forth on whether to work at 245# or 255# and, clearly, I made the wrong decision.
My ability to maintain a rigid lower back postion on pulling exercises has decreased significantly. I think that once I hurt my elbow, I avoided pulling exercises for a while. Bottom line is that I need to correct this issue. I'll be rehabbing for the next fews days and then adding in supplemental posterior-chain building movements, i.e., GHD sit-ups, back extensions, band good mornings, pull-ups, and rows. Very frustrated, though!
