There's been some workouts here and there but nothing worth reporting. Back is still kinda jacked and it's getting to the point of very frustrating.

Training at a dinky Anytime Fitness for the time being which is alright for what it is but I like my old gym a lot, so this is a bit demotivating as well.

FML. So, I have been training, but mostly just messing around a few days a week. But the back has been feeling decent, so figured I'd give a real program a go, and was going to do bridge 3.0.

Squats moved OK and nothing was heavy, but low back and glutes ended up on fire so I called it. That then hampered my pressing. Didn't even bother with the paused DL. Now I'm moving like a 75 year old.

Quite frustrating. Might just "do kettlebells" for the next month or so, like maybe have a go at simple and sinister.

Warmup:
some basic mobility stuff

Prying Goblet Squats:
24kg x5x3

Workout:
2hand KB Swings:
24kg x10x5

2min rest between sets. Fine.

half TGU (just to tripod position)
24kg x8 (4 per side)

pretty weak in this movement tbh.

KB Belt Walk:
24kg x 4mins

This is an exercise where I take a spud inc belt for dips or whatever, loop it through the KB, and just shuffle walk a few feet forward and a few feet backwards. Good endurance for the hips, I think.

Basically, as I heal up for back stuff, it feels a lot like some issues with hip flexors. So going to do these not super hard hip-focused exercises every day* for the foreseeable future.

time: 50m
SRPE: 3
