a week after not alright

Things are going better. Removing deadlifts from easy strength has let the lower back fatigue bleed off. I no longer feel like I'm a day away from injury. Honestly, with the kb swings and squats in my warmup, my lower body feels taken care of to the same capacity. Side benefit is I noticed my knee health also doing better without daily pulls from the ground.

Walking backwards sucked at first but I'm acclimating. I found it's actually a good 'rest period' from daily conditioning outside in addition to a standalone activity. Going to continue for a few months before attempting single leg work and sled pulls.

Current plan

EZ 5x

Pull

Press

Ab

Bb 2x

Bi 3x12

Tri 3x12

Shoulders 3x15

*Moved to barbell presses behind the back for shoulders instead of rear delt raises.

Off 2x

Calves, tibs, hip flexors

Erectors 2x

Jefferson curl

Rdl or sandbags 

Conditioning

Mace every other day

Backwards walking daily

Goals of like to reach

- Jefferson curls 100lbs for easy reps.

- conditioning includes keg carries and sled walks.

Curiosity

Am I not - as Dan states - a hinge guy? I always thought I was, but the lack of ability to hinge daily says otherwise. As I build my erectors, I would like to introduce one of 2 things to EZ strength.

- squats. Dan says no but cmonnnn legs are cool and I'd be far from the first person to squat daily.

- or, kb hinges. More so on the dynamic side.
