Rehab #5: back squat light x 10 + strict press Workout
First time with weights since injuring my lower back on fathers' day (11 days ago). I did a longer warm up (about 25 minutes) and then decided to try a very light weight back squat and a super tight press couplet.
I was REALLY concentrating on keeping super tight through the midline and lower back especially... NO ROUNDING, NO bending forward. I was SUPER TIGHT doing my presses. Shoulders felt great and body liked having a little bit of weight on it.
bar warm up with BIG ROM and pauses+ presses
75 lbs x 10 squat + 10 strict press
95 lbs squat x 10 + 85 lbs press x 8
115 lbs squat x 10 + 95 lbs press x 6
135 lbs squat x 10 + 85 lbs press x 8
It all felt very good and I was VERY tight throughout. I took a few minutes and then did another WOD. I did some small pauses at the bottom of the squat. NO bounce, no jolting movements. I was being super careful and keeping it all realyl light.
