@Ringworm1 Good food choices.....
Week 7/block 2/lower body A
Have had a light flu since Tuesday,feeling a lot better so went in this morning, however my session didn’t go to plan, didn’t even finish warm up sets..
Foam rolled
Thoracic extensions
Planks
Chest + lat stretches
Deadlifts
Warm up:
60kg x 10
60kg x 10
100kg x 5
140kg x 3 **
180kg x 2
210kg x 2 **
At 140kg x 3 I felt a slight tightness/strain maybe 2/10 in left lower back. Foam rolled quickly and thought nothing of it.
180kg x 2 I kept very strict, perfect.
210kg x 2 I felt the light strain on lower back again,as I reset for rep 2 a sharp hot burn from leg through glutes to lower back. 8/10 pain
Stood up, leant against wall for nearly 5 mins before I could walk,move around without pain.
Foam rolled quickly and straight home for heat pack,ibuprofen.
It’s currently very tight, and if lean the wrong way that slight pain returns from lower back to leg through glutes though only a 2/10
Unsure if sciatic nerve,itb, or a slight glute strain/hopefully not tear.
Will reassess in the morning, but left feeling defeated. To be continued..

@Ringworm1 you should get a deep tissue massage there, is that possible? do you have access?
also infrared lamp do you have access to one?
I would be careful with legs until you resolve this, some guys get real tight from this
Cheers mate,
Yes booked in for remedial tomorrow with scalp cupping. I’ve got access to infrared sauna, ice baths, and float tanks also.
Two things
1) Mega dose Vit C for a few days for the fly symptoms.
2) There are active release stuff you can do yourself for that pain. There's one I do which is simple to do but a sod to explain. Search for 'sciatic nerve stretches' online and try these. Start real easy so as to now make it worse.

These types of back problems. Will only keep getting worse The more you weight train.
So, it's important not to hammer away. If you're starting to get issues,

Getting a massage, may not be the best solution for this, even though a lot of people will tell you to do that.
It can actually make the situation worse.

Bro, good way to stretch out the back. Have someone tie you up to the truck and drag you if you feet that will stretch you out.
Sucks being sick man. I had sciatic issues in the past and super painful.
Great job on the deadlifts
