This is my 3rd week of lifting out of my 'comfort' zone. I have someone pushing me and spotting me now, which I haven't had for yrs. I did a flat db press today at:

25lbs. for 10
30lbs. for 8
35lbs. for 5
40lbs. for 5
It felt awesome!............I'm only 5 ft. tall and 115 lbs. and the guys in the gym were like...

Funny, I read this and thought Public Relations, huh?

I geddit now, we call it a PB, Personal Best.

Well, I am leg pressing 85kg now and will add a little extra next week, that's a PB/PR for me

And I drank 3L of water yesterday, another PB.

This is exciting for me because it's been yrs.(like 20) since I lifted this heavy. I did my legs on Wed. and I squatted 150 lbs. I also did my dumbell presses this week and I did my 40 lbs. like I did last week only I did this:
10 reps - 20 lbs.
8 reps - 30 lbs.
5 reps - 40 lbs.
5 reps - 40 lbs.
5 reps - 40 lbs. Then continued doing one arm at a time for a set of 4 on each side. This was absolutely unbelievable for me!!

[pavermama]

set of 10 leg presses on 3rd set - 310 lbs. yea!

Hello all. I'm not really sure where to post this but i was wondering if anyone is working out through an injury. I have been diagnosed with a herniated L5 disc and have been unable to workout since August. I have been seeing a chiropractor and it has been feeling much better. Trying not to have surgery!! Anyway I ended up with a sinus infection right before Christmas. All the coughing has aggravated my back and I have found myself with an aching back again. Ugh!!! So hoping I won't need surgery. Does anyone have any experience with inversion tables or other forms of therapy for a herniated disc??

id look for someone who does ART (www.activerelease.com) not just a chiro. make sure they specialize in spine.

i had herniated neck etc and completely healed with their help. ART. I also have issues with my spine but im normally never out of the gym but a day or so if i seriously annoyed it.
