Gym talk

Well yeah, rest seems the start

I've somehow magically pulled something in my lower back (kidney area), being no gym bunnie what can I do to gently exercise it to help fix it and then to strengthen it for future protection

Try foam rolling (buy a proper foam roller but not the one with massive knobbles on it) and as said, deadlifts. If you've never done them before get some advice as if you do it wrong you could do your back in for good.

I get back ache a fair bit, doing sit ups and other stomach (or core as they like to call it) exercises seems to help me with it.

[wwmnw]

I'd see a physio about that find out whats causing the problem then fix it.

Slight improvement on my squat today, 122.5kg for 5 reps! Also had farmers walks again but only four walks of around 15 meters, strangely I wanted to do more but it was getting busy and my time was up, bench was 90kg for 3 and I also did bent over barbell rows, not sure I'm keen on these the position is a bit strange.

Been twice in 2 weeks due to the mrs hurting her knee. Found i've been missing the gym. Very odd really, but had a great workout today.
50kg bicep curls (on a machine) 10x3, 41kg 10x3, 37kg 20x2. was my last wort and i was knackered and aching. Arms now feel like lead. But happy with what i did.
Was sweating like a waterfall tho.

Good going Benn, I've not been in ages with working nights. So joined a new gym today which is open 24hours so can go when I want now.

[Benn]

I'd love a 24 hour gym, would be great.

I went for a walk the other day. Very pleasant and I feel fitter now.

[Benn]

You THE man.
