    Squatch's House of Pain

    So I figured I'd start up my training log again, now that I am back training close to 100%. Before I do, a little refresher....

    I've had a rough year with injuries. In the first part of January, I tore my bicep. Luckily, it was a muscle tear and was only partial. Just as I was getting through the worst part of that, I had some issues with cervical radiculopathy. I got through that, and within about 6 weeks I herniated a disc in my back pretty badly. I've had back problems for a while, having a degenerative disc....but this herniation was pretty nasty.

    I've pretty much zeroed in on the exercises that aggravate this (back squats, deads, and military presses), and will be avoiding those, at least for the time being.

    Having said all that, I'm close to 100% of training intensity now, though my weights are still a bit behind. I gained some bf, and dropped about 15-20 pounds of lbm, as I just came off a pretty good mass cycle before tearing my bi. I'll be going out to the O in Vegas next week, and will be approaching diet pretty hard when I get back.
