LBP Update...

Low back/SIJ area is feeling much, much better today. Rest, enzymes, and broccoli seemed to do the trick. I guess it was just a matter of time getting that stuff out of my system. Internal organs feel stress more than the musculoskeletal system according to Dr. Cobb. Makes a lot of sense...

Quick "workout" seemed to speed things along today:

Pull-ups/Parallel Gironda Dips: supersetted, using descending ladders of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

The goal was to use as much muscle as possible, so no tactical style--pure bodybuilding (I can't believe I just said that...) on the pull-ups and thus the Gironda Dips...

4 rounds of the superset ladder; rest as needed, never longer than 2 minutes between ladders.

60 reps of each. 120 reps total. Felt good.

Looking forward to getting under the bar again tomorrow. Probably a "catch-all" session since I don't know what they'll have on the boat. It'll probably pistols, pull-ups, and dips set on "repeat" all weekend.

Interesting how organs/visceral stuff can shut down certain muscles. NMT heavily goes into the different reflexes and pain referall patterns of the body.
