My back is slowly improving, but not back to normal yet. On another note, despite my bb curls improving and my form strict, I'm feeling a slight twinge in the area of the extensor tendon I sprained last year. Think I may have to switch to hammer curls, as they don't seem to irritate that area.

Only thing to do is try to find ways to work around the pain.

Overall, a good workout today, though far from easy...and I seem to be stuck at 140 lbs. on my 45 deg. incline press.

45 deg. inc. press: 95x5, 120x2, 140x4, 126x5x2

Note: I got a little off balance with my 3rd rep on the SQ with 240. Got back on track to finish the set, but suffered a spasm in my low back afterward. Still able to get through the DL's alright.
