my L5-S1 joint popped on the last rep. felt like the same thing as when you crack your knuckles. However, this caused me to lose stability in my low back and I dropped the weight rapidly. Spinal erectors at the SI joint a pretty sore now.

**** man, that sucks. Hopefully you just tweaked it and didn't strain it as badly as I did -- you'll know it if raising yourself up out of bed/tying your shoes becomes problematic because of pain/tightness.

I'd advise taking things slowly if you're at all unsure; each time I hurt mine (once on each side) took 6+ months to fully heal. Both times I tried to lift through it and aggravated it further. #Olds though, so hopefully yours is both less severe and faster healing.

Yeah, it hurt to get out of bed this morning. But like I went and played frisbee golf yesterday afternoon after deadlifting in the morning. I don't think it is too bad, just tweaked it.

Didn't video the set, but there is a good chance my back was just rounded over before I even started pulling. Its been a longstanding problem with my conventional deadlift form.

No, don't have any of the symptoms of one either. This is just an annoying muscle strain.

Will need to take a week off at least I reckon. Will start video recording my sets when I get back to it.

Damn man, that sucks about your back. You will know how bad it is when you bench next. When your lower back is messed up, it is tough to arch. I hope it is just a minor strain. Any reason you are pulling conventional? I thought you pulled sumo.

Just for the different muscles used. In absolute terms, the weight is still pretty light, so I'm just training it. Not trying to hit PRs or anything.

Getting out of bed is getting easier every day.

Neither does my coach. You dont need to use PEDs to gain muscle. Gaining muscle takes time and hard work and eating right. Anyone can do it, but its hard to do. Of course he should not try to look like the fatty in you picture. Dont twist my words.

Wanted to call out Cha delusion here from months ago, but I see my work has already been done.

Ok, still not dead, but fatter and weaker than ever before.

My daughter turned 2 months old last week and is starting to get her sleep together, so I guess I should get my life together as well.

Bought some of those tupperware things for meal prep, they just got here today.

Also I worked out.
