Weight Training For Beginners

[Puffwagon]

Hey mate if it's working for you and you are achieving your goals then you are golden. 

 

I think a diet plan is only needed in most cases if one is struggling with gaining or losing weight.

So after about 4 weeks away from the gym I saw the doctor about my back again. 

 

He thinks it is a slight disc issue and recommended that I don't squat or deadlift or otherwise load my back up for at least another 2 weeks. That involves every single exercise I do...

 

It is fairly sore from fitting my diff bushes yesterday so I guess I'll just have to do stuff all for a while. 

 

So that'll be no lifting for 6 weeks all up plus I would have gone back two weeks from my previous program. 

 

I guess I'll slow down my squat and deadlift progression from here out.

 

Ahhhh the joys of getting old.

That sucks puff. Backs are so important but they're so easy to wreck. 

[Puffwagon]

Yeah mate. It sucks because it is hardly sore but there is a definite pull or compression with how I sit and it feels ready to give me dramas if I push it.

 

I think I'll get out an old bench that I have and do some iso movements that don't involve vertical pressure on my spine so I can keep some sort of conditioning.

 

Even using leg drive with the bench has proven painful.

Have you read The Man Plan by Adam McDougal? 

[Puffwagon]

Nope. I Googled it just now. 

 

Haha I can still see my feet and definitely can still see my old fella!
