    Doctor told me to go light and not very many so that is what I did. Back doesn't really hurt but can feel it in my lower back with the 275 and 315. I had been fishing all day and my back was already sore from sitting in the small jon boat. Maybe Monday I can have a real workout.

    Shoulder is still a mess and painful even after the injection in the shoulder. Hopefully it will hold out until after the meet.

    Oh No! My back went out on the 2nd rep at 275!

    2@275 and oh does it hurt! I am taking off a week. If that doesn't do it, I might be done with heavy weights. 275 is very light for me but my back didn't think so.

    It is not squats but I did leg press today. I can't let my knees go past 90 degrees because of my back.

    I got a good leg pump but don't know if doing this will help keep my strength.

    I check every morning the USAPL Raw National Powerlifting Championship roster coming September in Memphis. This morning there was 655 signed up and now this evening there is 1,150 signed up. I lift Saturday the 16th of September. There is almost 400 lifting on Saturday. Going to be a really long day. Hopefully they will have 4 platforms running on Friday and Saturday. Close to 800 of the 1150 are lifting on Friday & Saturday. Fun day but very long day too!

    I guess I will listen better to my doctor. I have been getting nauseous most of yesterday and all day today. Apparently L1-L5 are now bulging and pushing on a couple of nerves. I must have gone too deep on some of the leg presses. I am about to go even crazier since all I can do is either walk slowly or lie down. Can't eat much at one time because then I throw up. I am not sure now if I can even make the Nationals now. One step forward and 3 steps backwards. It gets harder each time to make a come back, but I will. I am so hard headed I wore a hard hat at work to protect other workers! Lol.

    I found out yesterday I could do Bulgarian split squats with a kettle bell and dumbbell. Baby steps!

    3x10@35

    The only reason I have a kettle bell is about 5-6 years ago I was riding my bicycle and saw it laying in a ditch. I tied it to the bike and rode home with it. It is only 20 pounds so I used it and my wife's 15 pound dumbbell and held them in one hand. The next time I will use a 45 plate that has 3 holes around the edge. Maybe in a month or so I can progress to the bar and a little more weight. I need to pay more attention as on one rep I kinda leaned a little too far forward and my lower back bit me in the ass! They told me I could also do lunges but they hurt my bad knees.

    If I tried to donate my old ragged body to science they would probably put it in the trash pile. The only thing that works worth a damn is my big mouth! I think I got my brain from abby, abby normal that is! I am so damn slow it takes a whole month to watch 60 minutes. That's my story and I will stick to it.

    Holding a 25 pound plate that has 3 holes as handles and a 20 pound kettle bell. Hopefully by June I can start back doing regular squats and be ready for the USAPowerlifting Championship in September. If I can just do the squats and break the record I'll be happy. The bench and deadlift might just be token lifts until next years Championship. I can't do anything like a deadlift right now and trying to lie down on a bench or even a pushup hurts my back too much.

    I learned from my last workout I was too close to the rear chair and it put too much pressure on my back. This time I moved away from the chair about 10 more inches and back feels fine. Awfully late for me but have been busy all day. Tuesday I will lift at my usual 10 am slot.
