Now, I'm hacked because the Mrs. didn't want me to leave to go the gym this morning. It's raining, but no winds. So, I've missed the opportunity to lift today. It will likely be cardio only.

Eh, I get the missus POV on that one. Honestly, I felt better having Bob around yesterday.

I think you're right, man. I need to correct it. I'm hoping my bud can check form next time we lift at the same time.

Glad you're alive and well and doing great on Crossfit

Makes sense. I appreciate it. My frustration wasn't directed anyone, just at thinking I was going to have to miss the gym!

Thanks, guys. I still feel like I have a long ways to go to get where I want to be.

And Terry, way too modest.

Frustrating! Not sure what is going on, but my back is hurting again. I'm not sure it's just bad form as my back has hurt when trying to sleep at night. Ended my workout early and didn't go very far on squats or pressess because of it.

[tcoy777]

take care of that back. Its no fun having back issues. Hope you feel better soon.

[soonermark99]

Hmmm... Back pain is no fun. I hope you get to feeling better. Keep up the good work on the pressing!

[MindPower]

Back pain sucks man, hope it heals up quick

Of course you do and that's the way it should be. What fun is it to be satisfied?

[Deserve]

You've been fighting back pain for awhile Richie. I you get a handle on it.

True, I was just referring to my immediate goals, not the end-all state!

I dunno - could be the hauling around of a toddler. Or the poor posture in front of the computer. Or perhaps the fact that I haven't stretched in maybe ... 18 months?
