Thanks man. Good chance I'll be working fairly soon into the new year. If that happens my severance will basically just be a huge bonus to help with my retirement haha!

Shoggoth Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 December 6, 2015 Morning Isolating my low body too let my upper back recover. Went to a chiropractor on Friday and it helped immensely and will go back again Tuesday morning. Hip Belt Squat - 35's & Red loop 70 x 2 x 5r 105 x 5 140 x 3 x 8r 165 x 5, 8 Reverse Hyper 90 x 2 x 10r 140 x 10 180 x 10 Still easy enough to execute but my low back is getting really pumped so best to take it easy as its a new exercise.

MattM Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 What kind of adjustments has your chiro done? I'm still split on whether or not I should be going to one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 What kind of adjustments has your chiro done? I'm still split on whether or not I should be going to one I generally try to stay away from them as well. This was the first time that I had visited him since 1992 according to their records. I buggered my upper back between my shoulder blades back in the early 90s and it breakers every couple of years. I figured headed been bugging me again so I may as well try the chiropractic road. It's helped quite a bit but the thing that I don't like is that he cracked my neck and know that he's done it it'll crack and pop occasionally when I look around and I don't think that's too good for a fellow.

Shoggoth Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 December 9, 2015 Before Supper I've got one more chiro appointment so I don't want to get to stupid yet. Dr said to stay away from deadlifts but ya wanna know something? My back feels better after putting a little weight to it today. Also thinking about throwing in some extra work getting some more pressing and squatting in on a 3rd day per week. Medium intensity to the low-optimal rep range on the Prelipin table. BWTG SSB Squat 45 x 3 x 3r 135 x 3 225 x 3 275 x 2 315 x 3 x 5r Speed Deads - widened my stance a hair 135 x 3 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 1 405 x 1 425 x 6 x 1r Snatch Grip Deads - Index on rings 225 x 3 x 10r Reverse Hyper 180 x 2 x 10r 270 x 10 I'll do some extra back work tomorrow after bench and stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 That's one fine looking workout man! It "flows" well if that makes any sense. And I've had one amazing visit to a chiro in my life but that was when I was a kid. I had a crick in the left side of my neck for around 3 months and after a visit to a family friend who happened to be a licensed chiro it resolved itself. Ever since then if I have a neck problem it has either not done anything or made it worse so Idk what to think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
