Deload/Limited Workout
Bench 20x45, 5x95, 5x115 3(5x135)
Deadlift 5x135, 3x185 3(5x205)
Assistance 4 Rounds: 5 Sumo Deadlifts, 135 lbs 5 Overhead Press, 65 lbs 5 Reverse Hypers (Unweighted) 5 "Bar-to-Back" Knees to Elbows
Then: One Set of Push-ups for Max Reps: 50 Reps
Then: 10 Ground to Overheads, 65 lbs
Time: 26:00
Conditioning: Metcon
10 Rounds for Time: 5 Pull-ups 5 Ring Dips 10 V-ups 10 Jump Squats
Time: 13:28
Comments: My back felt good after working out earlier this week. Then yesterday it felt pretty rough out of nowhere. I wonder if just spending so many hours in the car and sitting on a stool at work all week may have hurt it? Bench: Nothing special here. I may start doing less of an arch with my back on these. I seem to recall that shortly after I started arching my back is when I ended up hurting it. Deadlifts: Felt good on these. That was promising. Assistance: I started doing Knees to Elbows with the barbell racked about halfway down my back. This eliminates any swinging and keeps you more or less strict. Good stuff. Push-ups: Went into "down dog" a few times to give my arms a rest, but was pretty suprised with that result. Could have gotten a few more but am not worried about it. Metcon: This was a good little metcon that, in my opinion, offered a nice break during V-ups on each round. My back felt good for this so that is a plus. Sometimes I think that inactivity is the worst thing of all. Planning to do a run tomorrow. Have a good night.

One more comment. 26 minutes seems really slow to me for such an easy workout. I've slowed down a little to keep from screwing up my back again. Still, it is a decent pace.

Hey, it all looks good to me. Nice and creative with the K2E. The back is a funny thing. Once, I was bending over to dry my ankles/calves area and I felt a little "twinge" in my lower back. At the time I thought nothing of it. The next morning and then through the next 10 days I couldn't hardly get around. I agree with your theory about the sitting. As a teacher I never sit. When I do end up having a lot of desk work my back always hurts. Right now, it is my right knee that is bothering me. After those TGU's it just hurt and ended up swelling up for about 24 hours. As you have probably noticed, I have been biking and doing BW stuff as a result. The bike rides have definitely kept it mobile.

I always feel better when I've been up and moving around. I saw an add recently for a "treadmill desk." My advice would be that if you need a treadmill desk, you actually need a career change. Sorry to hear about your knee. IMO, TGU's are more of "show off your strength" move than an exercise. Like something to do at the beach with your girlfriend to impress your friends. I got rug burn and/or knee/hip/ankle injuries whenever I did those a lot. Are they impressive? Absolutely. But not something that belongs in a workout in my opinion. Glad to hear that you've been biking too. I miss riding my old bike, but my prostate doesn't mind the rest.
