I did something similar to my mid right thoracic region within the first couple of months of training.
Heavy paused front squats did it, straining up a rep with the upper back a bit rounded as tends to happen on limit front squats.

Took ages for it heal as well, at least a month, as it lingered, but was able to train through it, just had to stop front squatting.
Soft tissue work with a ball against the wall helped

Damn paused squats. I definitely think mine is a combination of too much accumulation and lack of preparation. Fingers crossed it seems to be getting better quickly.

Yeah I was laying on the ball and a pvc pipe today on the floor. Helps a bit. I also get my kids to walk on me. They think it's hilarious but it feels great for the lower back and hammies.

That sucks. im sure you'll bounce back quickly. It sounds like one of those random tweaks you dont know even happened and the symptoms randomly appear down the line. Im dealing with a hip thing which i dont know when it happened but i've tried to stick to recovery squats (empty bar up to 40kg) just to keep the movement fresh and allow healing to happen. Have laid off my daily bike cardio as well limiting it to 20mins. Been taking ibuprofen to get the inflammation down and im hoping to slowly ramp up as i heal. But keep training just do things which dont make it worse.

Fark man I hope you're healing up ok. What's your hip thing? I'm going to do a hip mobility session tomorrow with the Real MVMT guys so I might be able to look out for something for you.

I had a hot AF shower tonight and was able to crack my back all the way up. That plus a decent stretch of hammies has me feeling better. Still a bit tight but hoping I can restart on Monday. Maybe just with a lower weight.

Thanks boys. I think you're spot on. I got some video feedback on the squats and I was leaning too far forward. Oh well, not to worry.

The sitting is definitely killing me. Sitting for 10+ hours a day is just shit. Going to set an alarm for every hour to get up and do something next week.

Also, just reread my post. Didn't realise it at the time but I've obviously seen this movie one too many times

Splits & Squats- Days 12 & 13
 
Back is still fried. Having to hold my breath every now and then to stop the spasms. I'm pretty fucking pissed but what do you do? I think it was either the pause squats or the single leg good morning. That along with me sitting at a desk for 10+ hours a day right now. Something went wrong there. Not going to squat today obviously. Will get some simple movement going and see how I go from there.

On a more positive note I have a couple of test subjects for my coaching. Two mates (one basketball, one martial arts) have agreed to be my guinea pigs. I'm writing out their programs today and am pretty stoked to see how they go.

If the Lakers can bring the intensity on D like they played yesterday then they can go all the way. Can't imagine they can keep that up though.

Also shits me to tears how little they use AD in the post against Tucker or any of the other Hou defenders. They guy has like a 27" height advantage.

LEBLOCK strikes again.

NASTY.

Never has it been more evident of how much of a superior being LeBron is. Even at his age. His ability to wait for the block and get up so high so quick is insane.

Watching that game yesterday reminded me so much of why I love basketball.

Raps v Bos was an incredible game. Legit edge of my seat stuff.

Never have I liked Lowry so much.

that's interesting about juggling improving coordination and learning. i started learning guitar a few months ago and it's been super cool to be a complete noob at something so complicated and endless. i took piano lessons for a few years as a little kid (stopped when i was ~12) and really wish i'd stuck with it long enough so that i didn't have to re-learn how to read sheet music. it's not that relevant for guitar, at least at the level i'm at, but it'd still be so helpful to have that additional language as i get better.

plus learning guitar is making me want to pick up piano again.

why in the name of all that is good and holy did i wait until i was 33 to start learning music in earnest?

anyway brb adding one minute of continuous three-ball juggling to my list of goals.

I'd be really interested to get your feedback with guitar too. For me it was a higher level of control over my hands moving in different directions and with different rhythms.

I know what you mean about waiting to learn in earnest. I've played both piano and guitar on and off for the last 25 years and can only imagine where I'd be if I had stuck it out. I can sight read most music though so at least that's something.

Even though Judo is about technique, size/bodyweight definitely helps. There's some obese guys that train and it's hard just practicing the throws on them let alone trying to land them in randori. Ground work is even worse. I haven't learnt any joint locks properly yet. I've been taught a couple of basic hold down/choke techniques that work against them. However, once they are on top of you it's very difficult to get out of and almost impossible if they have you in a hold down/choke.

There's a competition in a couple of weeks so they were doing weigh ins on the scale. One of the obese guys I was training with weighed in. I thought he would have been around 100-110kg because he's shorter than me and probably only 5'8 and doesn't look like he lifts or anything. Anyway it was 127kg (280lbs) and I was thinking no wonder I struggled to lift him! The other guy was a bit taller and weighed in at 140kg (308lbs). I don't know the weight of the other 3 guys but I'm guessing they would all be over 110kg (242lbs).

As a bigger guy I always loved the weight difference. I haven't trained with too many guys over 100kgs though and I can imagine the fun in having a 127kg guy sitting on your chest. Having said that and as much as it sucks in the beginning concentrating on technique over strength will serve you so much better later on. Especially with your strength you'll be destroying guys soon enough.

Edit- Old man was in the news and unfortunately they found his body yesterday but said it wasn't any suspicious circumstances with his death. Apparently he suffered from some mental health issues. The instructor didn't say anything about his mental health to us after training. He just said that his wife appreciated the support and we were welcome to message her but just not to visit her because she needed rest. Then after training, some of the guys were talking privately saying that they were really worried because he had some mental health issues. It wasn't much later than 24 hours and I saw on the news that his body had been found. I'm expecting it's going to be a bit sad tomorrow at training and I feel terrible for his wife.

damn.. :/

x2 man. That's just horrible. Mental health is a mother fucker. Especially in the current environment.
