I've pulled a muscle in my lower back. It must have been from the deadlifts yesterday. I'm getting a muscle spasm when moving a certain way however the pain is not sharp.

I'll lay off the weights until the end of the week.

Tuesday - Cardio 45 mins incline treadmill walking.

Ironically I've got liquid chalk and in my bag but I didn't have the bag with me.

Luckily it's feeling a lot better. I'll do some cardio today and tomorrow and some light weights next week.

Quite happy with that. I may have got another rep with the 35's but I know I wouldn't recover and the incline DB would have suffered.

I've been getting forearm pain and couldn't work out which exercise was causing it. After this morning it's definitely BOR's. I must be using my forearms too much so I dropped the weight.
