It was a pretty light workout.  1 mile run to gym, 1k meter row, 4X10 deadlifts *very* light weight with 4X8 pullups, calf raises, then run /walk home.

felt fine during and all day after.  I know deadlifts make it sound bad, but I only lifted 115 lbs.   

poo.

How is your form on your DLs?  115 is enough to cause pain.  The other culprit could be the erging, surprisingly enough.  Got any vids of your form for either? 

vids? me? 

but seriously, i've been doing these exercises for probably 4 years, and I stick to light weight because it better suits my needs.  on the other hand, i'm happy to admit that i can make a mistake.  the confusion comes from the time it took to show up.  The last time I hurt my back I couldn't move up off of the floor. 

oh - umm, what is erging?

  Erging is "rowing" on a machine.  Rowing is done on the water.  Erging is done on a Concept2. 

The whole form issue is a bit goofy.  Perhaps getting a lifting coach for one session might help with any potential form issues.  The main thing to remember for both DLing and erging to keep your lower back from getting too involved is to avoid butt wink. 

Example of improper back form (among other issues, but that's not my point):

All of these have pretty good back form, but a few have weird head/neck positions:

I overcooked it a bit on DLs once, and I agree with you that I didn't feel any pain until a day or two later.  It's super annoying.  If you want any more suggestions of DL form vids, feel free to ask. 

jah, i learned the deadlift from crossfit in like 2005.   I've also had a trainer somewhat recently, which is why i say that i know the form, but it's possible i blew it at some point.  it happens.  i'm not perfect, and my therapist would be thrilled to hear me say that 

anyway, thanks for the responses.  it's good to see that you've had an experience where it took some time for the pain to set in as well.  it may not sound good to anyone else, but to me it's just a little less likely that it happened in my sleep.  i mean, i'm getting old, but not *that* old.

The only sign that I had was that my back felt... weak.  I don't know how else to describe it.  Just rest up and hit it again. 

I don't know if this is a good sign, or a bad sign...

Tonight on the Spinning Bike in the gym...I practiced looking through turns and leaning off while spinning


(for those who don't know - I sold my Monster in July.  Hope to have a new bike in a few months.  Yet ANOTHER reason to drop the pounds!)

Handled much better, didn't it?

i do that in the car, but never tried it on a spinning bike 

keep at it tommys67  [moto]

I did 20 miles on the road bike today.... Turns out 48 degrees is not as warm as I thought! Not sure if it was the cold but the tires felt a little loose in the corners 

WoD                "Fran"         Three rounds of 21-15-9  for time       95lb Thruster       All pu's were jumping     6:15
                                                                                                 Pull-ups

         

just an easy hour on the bike, nursing a sore back.   

Now, here's something I REALLY don't get at all.  I can't do a pull up.  That's not surprising.  However, I can do 2 Kipping pull ups on "the crutch", which is the teeny tiny assistance band.  My negatives are super slow.  I can hold myself at the top for a really long time.  Underhand is more difficult for me than overhand, which is quite uncommon.  But why can't I get even close to just one lousy Kipping pull up?  It makes no sense at all.

3/3 for me. Yesterday was kinda just whatever I felt like doing. Did about 25 minutes on the eliptical, then a couple sets of alternating pushups and situps. Felt like doing a little more so I did a couple altenating sets of bicep and tricep curls on the machines.

Today, we (my IDC class) went to the base gym which has some personal trainers. They host a cross training class there several times a week. They are affectionately know as the "bendy chicks" and I'm sure you can guess why!

That was 45 mins of straight cross training and it kicked my ass. More than it has in the past....
