CHANGE IS GOOD

Tomorrow we are starting the Sunday 10:00 am class at RF, Nathan and I will be co-leading the class for a few weeks to help me get my feet wet, then I will be flying solo.  We were originally thinking that a couple people might show up at the start of this and it would take awhile to catch on.  Boy were we mistaken...It sounds like we are going to have over 20 people there tomorrow.  It will be a lot of fun and I am excited to be working with everyone who comes in on Sundays.  

Before we went up I worked out in the 6:30 am class because I didn't want to miss out on doing dead-lifts.  I have been nursing some back pain all week so I decided to take it easy and go a little light.  I was not happy about going light, but it was my own call because I do not want to get a bad injury.  I remember kind of being in a bad mood that morning because I couldn't give 100%.  I hate having to take it easy in anything I do.  Anyways, I don't remember how the progression went, but after the 3rd set of 5 I think I was around 275 and I didn't have any back pain but I did have a strong pull in my glutes....but no back pain.   So by my 5th set of 5 I made it up to 315  and knocked it out with no problems.   It felt so good that I thought about doing another set but, realized I should just be thankful I got to 315 with no pain.  

Then we hit the mountain all day and I thought for sure when I woke up this morning that I would be in a lot of pain.  Well, nothing...I felt better this morning then I did all week.  My back got a little tight by the end of the day today, but I am wondering if that tight pull in my glutes actually helped my back out.
