look for rashes on body, if none, then don't worry!

 

Workout in rain looks good only in movies like Bhag Milkha Bhag. So don't attempt, not a good idea.

Doctor says symptoms of dengue only.

Feeling quite low though so thought would post a before after pic.

Pics are 14 months apart where I started body weight workouts at home mainly after having terrible low back pain for more than a year due to a football injury.


And around total 3 months of gym (interupted 2 months due to lockdown), nothing special but decent progression I guess ? as without any protein powder etc.
Meat eating days (3 of 7) I think I manage the protein intake though.



63 to 71.5 kg between the two pics.

Did a cycle ride after more than a year, have been looking to buy a new one from a year but haven't.

Thought would have lost some stamina, but didn't, legs (except groin region due to new seat) fresh throughout and a new solo best of 130 km.

Only the heat on the way back was bad.9beacc5dd21326289d5d14f0ac15f909.jpg

Oh no, pulled something on my low back while deadlifting and the weight wasn't even heavy, just that it was not heavy so i didn't do them slow.

 

Its bad though, increased a lot in 2 hours, can't even move a cm of low back without intense pain, very much like something I had 2-3 years ago which took a year to fully heal.

 

How to go forward ? A day or two of rest and start stretching and low back/core exercises ?

1. Rest. Lumbar spasms usually progressively feel worse for 1-2 days before the pain starts reducing. 
2. Move only when necessary

3. As the pain starts to reduce, ie by the end of second day, start regular movements. No stretching/exercises. Do not try to accelerate healing unless demand is unavoidable. Wear a brace/lumbar belt tightly to get about. 
4. If the pain does not start to subside at all by the third day, seek a good doctor/physio

5. Rehab appropriately, gingerly and progressively get back to normal life. 
6. Once that’s comfortable, and without thought, slowly get back to training. 
 

Lumbar spasms are a bitch, they cripple the entire core. They let you know immediately how important the core is to the body.

Thanks, won't repeat last times' mistakes.

Ice or heat?

Ice first two days, right and then heat ?

Also, getting very worse, difficult to get up or even move.

I generally avoid but think would need a painkiller.

 

Don't know how it happened out of nowhere, core work was being done regularly and was in good shape and not had any lower back discomfort in over a year.

 

was doing chest today and at the end thought would finish with deadlift as had forgotten yesterday.

Overuse injury I guess ?
