Hope it goes well today, Admiral!
Recovery/Support Day
My back was still bothering me this morning -- same spot, same feeling. Got to the gym and started my stretching. Went slow and deep to really loosen up the lats, traps, and spinal erectors since I can't really tell what's bound up back there. I just wish so bad that the damn thing would crack. Anyway, saw that they had a small medicine ball, so I rolled around on that for a little while, which definitely helped. After some banded bench work (just bands, no weight -- still just practicing form, feeling out what the bands do, getting the blood going for recovery, etc.) I did some low rows, high rows, and pull-downs for reps.
After that, one of the employees was kind enough to give me
a tennis ball to dig in deep and really work those back muscles good (in bold for
Davenport!). Holy eff.
I was almost in tears; but it hurt so good. LoL!
It's definitely in a better place than when I work up this morning and I think will be golden by the time I wake up tomorrow. I'm gonna roll around on that ball again before I take off for work ... and probably some more once I get home. Lots of water for me today.
