Bandaid Brigade Rides Again!

      My low back was still not 100% but I wasn't going to miss deadlift day. I brought my belt and was prepared for greatness, or at least something greater than failure. The belt gave out (cheap Velcro crap) and my back wasn't far behind but I got a decent amount done. Here's what I did:

     Nothing earth shattering, to be sure, but I held my own tonight even though I'm broken. If my belt had held up, I'm sure I could've gotten the sets of 185, but maybe it's just as well. I shouldn't be in such a hurry to jump weight. I definitely need to get a prong belt. That crappy Velcro belt has lasted me a good many years though. I'd say I got my money's worth out of it. Everything else felt good. I wasn't going to do the rotary torso because I thought it would aggravate my back, but in a weird way, it kind of made it feel better. I got a few good cracks out of it while I was twisting away. I'm still looking forward to some ibuprofen and a heating pad though, I ain't even gonna lie.

Time to pull out the 'ol logo tonight....
