Back on Track (almost)This 3-week, ruptured disc issue has been an odd one.
From being bed-ridden and not walking for 3 days (Sun-Tue) to back in the gym these past few days has been therapeutic.
Still using baby weights (of course) and not doing anything major, it just felt good to be back at it, and with some energy this AM.
Did a (somewhat) full body routine to ease into my usual (but modified) routine next week. (And running that carefully until fully recovered).
LowerLeg Extensions - 4 sets
Calf - Leg Press - 4 sets
- Each set consisted of 8 reps on calf raise, adjust feet and do 8 reps on seated leg press (not steep at all to avoid back stretch of any kind) and then adjust back and do 8 moe reps on calf raise. (Very light, very good pump).
UpperSmith-Machine bench - 4 sets
Smith BNP's - 4 sets
Lying d-bell tricep extensions - 4 sets
Seated Preacher curls - 4 sets
Wrist curls (over preacher bench top) - 4 sets
Going to walk Buddy for 30 mins or so, that will be a good test on lower-back... Feels good to back to some normalcy...
Also will be doing a couple days a week in the early AM, Yoga back stretches. Can do them here on the floor with the Yoga Youtube hot-chicks.
