    Last night I didn't think I would be able to work out today due to back pain. On Tuesday I unloaded a 400lb+ tractor tire out of my truck and pulled something in my back. If I turned or moved wrong the pain would knock the breath out of me. I started taking Robaxacet, an over the counter back pain and muscle relaxant yesterday, and by this morning the pain was almost gone. That's good stuff!

    Warm up - 500M row in 2:12 - very slow and very careful due to my back

    Dead lift - decided to go super easy on these
    155-5,
    265-5,5, - Could feel my back start to hurt a bit so I stopped at this weight

    Bench
    Bar - 10
    155-5,
    225-5
    225 + 50 chains - 5,5, The arching and bench movement started to cause a bit more back pain so stopped my work out there. No biggie, I'll get back to it on Monday pain free hopefully. The good news is no shoulder pain so far.

    Well it's Monday now and unsurprisingly my back is still a bit sore. Normally when I strain my back its in the lower lumbar area but this back pain is right in the middle of my back. Probably because I had to cat back the tire out of my truck due to having a canopy on the back. At least my workout wasn't too bad and i know the pain is slowly going away. I stopped pain killers/muscle relaxants on Friday.

    Warm up - 500M row in 2:03

    Squat - Did low bar instead of SSB as its easier on the back
    310-5,5, - Weight went pretty easy but still felt it in my mid back. Did 1 arm band rows between sets to warm up my shoulder for benching.

    pause Bench
    230 + 50 chains - 5,5, - added 5 pounds from Friday and it seemed to go well. No straining but definitely could feel my back when arching.

    Clean to strict press - haven't done these for a while but always found them productive.
    110-5,5, - Started super light again due to my back but will LP 10 pounds at a time until I get to 170/180 or so.

    Curls with EZ bar
    100-10,10,

    The good news - my back is no longer sore. The bad news - see below...

    Warm up - 500M row in 2:05

    Deadlift
    375-5,5, - went easy no back pain at all

    Bench
    B-10
    155-5
    235-2 - A little pain in my R shoulder
    235 + 50 chains - 2 - 1st rep - stabbing pain in my R deltoid and down into my tricep when lifting off the chest - weight didn't seem to be that heavy so tried again - stabbing pain again, but not quite so bad. Stopped there as I don't want to make things worse. Once of the reasons I took 3 months off lifting was to allow my L shoulder to heal. Now it's fine, but now my R shoulder is going wonky! I don't think I hurt anything too bad but I'll have to take it easy from here. Maybe warm up more and do less weight...

    Clean-strict press
    b-10 - bar alone didn't feel to bad so carried on
    120-5,5, - surprising my shoulder didn't feel too bad doing these, although the weight is still light. + 10 from last workout

    DB curls
    20-10,
    25-10,
    30-10

    So right now I've got a wonky R shoulder, my R knee is still messed up, waiting for an MRI on that but weirdly doesn't affect squatting or deadlifting that much, and my left forearm is still quite sore but only feel that for curls. My goal for 2021 is to get through these injuries and not get any new ones!

    Warm up - 500M row in a leisurely 2:12

    Deadlift
    407-5,5, - +10 from last workout - starting to get harder now

    Bench - after Monday's workout my shoulder was throbbing. had a massage yesterday, everything felt good today until I tried benching just the bar and it started hurting again. So didn't add any weight just played around with the bar and light dumbbells. May have to give up benching for a while until my shoulder heals whatever is wrong with it.

    Strict press
    177-5,5, This is starting to get heavy. No more 10 pound jumps now, so will go up 5 pounds at a time

    Chin ups - 5,5,5, overhand, underhand and neutral grip - Adding a rep per workout. just very minor discomfort in my shoulder which is good news

    Seated DB curl
    20-10,
    25-10,
    30-10,
