Well this morning I was able to get out of bed so that’s good news. The even batter news is, I was actually able to was my a$$ almost completely pain free. Never thought that I would actually type something like that but there it is.
I’ll probably go for a light hike tonight. I’m thinking that I’ll be back to regular training next week. 
NOPE! Too much too soon. Not gonna do anything this week. Gotta get past this.
take it slow.
pulled something in my lowerback last year, around june.
took me at least 3 weeks to come back from it.
and yeah, don’t be fooled by days where it starts to feel better.
Thanks man, this is killing me. I’m not one to just sit around a take it easy. I’m going to be very grumpy when I’m an old man. 
Well I did an easy run at lunch. About 4 miles
man **** you cardio guys. i decided to try running when i went to the beach last week. my goal was on min on one min off for 9 or so rounds.
by the 3rd or 4th round i stopped timing my off periods.
you can lift all the weights you want, and even roll a good bit, yet still be really really out of shape.
I’m “Back”
Took everyone’s advice and layed off all last week. The back feels great. Still a bit sore here and there but nothing severe at all. Friday night i did a rowing workout. Saturday I worked in the yard. Sunday I met up with a friend and we worked applications for a good 1.5 hours. This morning I did a decent leg workout with A to G squats, lunges, kettlebell swings and stance drills with the weight vest. I’m feeling pretty good.
Thanks to everyone for their comments.
glad to hear it dude.
just keep it in mind for a few more weaks or you’ll be right back where you started. be carefull sparring and watch the heavy weights.
Thanks man, I’ve been dealing with a lot of injuries over the past couple of years. Shoulders, foot, hip, back, knee. Nothing serious just these nagging little injuries that you can train through but it’s better if you just rest. That’s the part I have trouble with.
Chiro
A similar situation happened to me early in my 1 st year. I was training so hard trying to limber up my mid-section, I got this pain in my upper back and it hurt me severly to take a deep breath. I did not want to come off like a b**** to my sifu, b/c the next day was stance training, and I was struggling. Finally, I decided to come clean, b/c I could not take it anymore. He suggested a Chiropractor. “What… you must be nuts, they’re Quacks”, I said, ignorantly. I’ve never been so happy to be soooo wrong!! I got set up with his Chiro the next day. He said I will feel better b4 I walk out of the office. He did not lie. I’ve seen him 5-6 times in the past eight months. No drugs, no witing, no problem. Just do your research. Your sifu probably has one, or knows someone reputable. I have had no problem since. Hope it helps
