Pain

I am in pain today, and it sucks cause it was supposed to be the second workout of stage 7. My lower back still hurts, and to top it off my hamstrings and front of my shoulders are sore. I will be able to rest until Monday so hopefully it's all good then.

Don't really know what's going on with my back. About once a year I aggravate something and for the next few days it hurts to bend over, and then it hurts if I sit down for a long period of time then get up.

Stage 7 : Workout 1

So I finished stage 5 on Monday. Since I am taking two weeks off (going away on vacation) I figured to just jump right into stage 7. First day of stage 7 tonight and all I can say is, crazy! There was literally sweat falling off my face by the end. I was so excited to be back to barbell squats (haven't done them since stage 1). I was excited cause I did 85lbs! In stage 1 I accomplished 65lbs, so I am assuming I have more muscle (I am estimating that the bar weighs 45lbs). And I think I could maybe next time go up to 95, maybe 100!

Log:
squats 2~(75/8)(85/8)
s.lunge.r.f.e 4~(10/12LR)(10/10)(5/10)(5/10) ... jeez don't even think I can do 20 regular elevated lunges.
push-up 4~(16/16/15/20) ... of course elevated.
b.r.deadlift 4~(40/20)(40/20)(50/20)(50/20) ... surprised I could do this high, could feeeel it.
d.b-o.row 4~(10/20)(10/16)(10/17)(10/16) ... harder than I thought they would be.

When I came home I could already feel some soreness. Can't wait for tomorrow...
