Every once in a while I have strong gravity days where everything weighs more.

Yeah, you heard what I said, it has nothing to do with my strength... nothing. :p

Anyhow, lately I've been dealing with a pulled muscle in my lower back. It was starting to feel better, until I lost my balance putting my underwear on Sat morning and pulled something again. :( So I think I'm going to have to go light for a few weeks to let it heal, and then start an intensive lower back and ab routine to strengthen it up. I've been neglecting my core a little too much lately, I think, and I'm paying the price.
Man when I hurt my back I usually have to take time off, forget going light. That's the one injury I can't seem to work through. Evrything you do seems to effect your back injury, even walking.

Yeah, I know... but I just had to lay off for 4 weeks recently because of illness... so I'm not really willing to lay off again. I'm just getting my size and strength back.
Well good luck. I know how it works on ones mind when you can't work out after doing it for so long. Last year was pretty good for me as I only missed about 4 weeks (not including the time off I took to get rejuvenated) total due to illness or injury

Yeah, I'll be needing that luck. Hopefully I can keep from hurting again long enough that I can build some strength back into it.

Let this be a warning, guys and girls: NEVER neglect ANY body part when working out. You WILL end up hurting it as all the surrounding body parts get too strong for it.
