Crossfit this morning. Back continues to improve but now I am going through that scared period, afraid that if I do too much I will wack it up again.
I have gone back to doing squats rather than step ups but still keeping the squats shallow at least for the rest of the week.
WOD
6 Turkish Get-up(3/side)
12 uneven Deadlift
18 Wall Ball
***5 rounds for time***
Results and Weight/side & total)
Eric–15:01 (45/25–115lb)
Ron–16:34 (45/25–115lbs)
Terry–21:18 (35/20–100lbs) Kept the weigh down to protect the back
Angie–19:50 (25/10–80lbs)—4 rounds
Brian–13:56 (45 & 25–115lbs)
My heart rate was up in the 160′s which is higher that I normally take it. Even through it took me a good five minutes longer than Eric and Ron, I kept going. I hate being the last one finished because everyone is focused on you…..but that actually helped me complete it. I sure wanted to stop but with all the encouragement I could not do that.

The JCC is closed for Tuesday and Wednesday so I plan to pick up a Kettlebell workout on Thursday, Crossfit on Friday and then get back on my normal schedule starting Monday. I hope that this extra rest gets my back in shape so I don’t have to deal with it, until the next time.
I can feel that I have lost upper body strength. My arms are not as pumped and solid as they were right before my back went out. Hopefully I can get that back without too much work.
