I am back to working out after having a surgery. Not on my back but somthing unrelated. April 30th was my last workout and now back to it on June 10th.
I didnt think I needed to go too light because it hasnt been that long. Everthing went as planned, but after it was over my back was sore. Not terrible but sore. I didnt workout until June 18 and planned on getting back to the regular 3 day NLP. I added the normal 5lb to the lifts and my back today has the same pain. I assume I have started with the weight too high. Everything but my back can handle the weight.
My question. Am I in any danger of permanent damage by just pushing through? Or should I back off the intensity. I know limitations of how you can answer this, but if there is any insite it is appreciated.
My pain level tomorrow will also help tell me what needs to be done. Buy my plan is to lift even if I need to lighten the weights, due to pain.
This pain isn't new but the weight is now heavier.
Squat 255#
DL 325#
When I stopped in April was at 285# and 375#
