Still going strong - well as strong as I need to be right now. Friday's workout last week left me in agony. Not sure if it was workout related or if I passed a Kidney stone - it certainly felt like that kind of stabbing, unrelenting pain. Painkillers and gravol did little to lessen it - I didn't sleep much Friday night. Saturday left me with a dull ache and Sunday I felt better. No aching muscles like when I'd throw my back out, so I'm not sure what was up.

I curtailed workouts until Monday and started back with some cardio. I've pulled off a tris/bis/forearms workout and a chest/back/shoulders/traps workout since, and a few cardio sessions for good measure.

I have cut out the decline presses - I think they were messing with my back (I cannot not arch when I do them - bench is too high I think).

So on to Week 3 this sunday, following a Carb-up/Refeed on Saturday!
