@Duluth
Its what the coach at the gym calls them but basically lying on your front on the ground doing full snow angels.Lying on stomach. Hold weight in each hand out at full reach lift arm off the ground and take up towards your head. Up and down is one rep do 20. It sucks

Would be bloody good for those little stabilising muscles though I bet.

@Magpie_in_aus ah, that's a version of the Y and T raises we do with dumbbells, except we do them on a chest down 45 degree angle on a bench, or similar angle with bent knees. Fantastic primers for bench and any type of overhead stuff.

Did deadlifts on Saturday. Didnt want to follow the program as I was really tight in my mid back and the paused deadlifts tended to set it off.
Jumped in with one of the guys from the gym who is doing his own thing.

2x5 paused @150 and 2 or 3x10 @140Instead I did sets of 5 @60 , 100, 130,140,145,150,155x2

@Magpie_in_aus aw man! reverse bear crawls bro - the most magic release for a tight or seizing lower back. At least in my experience.
Is it happening due to over-training or an injury or something? I used to assume my core strength was a weak point (lol and/or my form!) so it meant my lower back did more mahi.
BBall after deads!!? - you madman you!
-
Na its just happening due to training.
Im in a predicament. So I play Ball in a competition on Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon/night. Thing is with this powerlifting program I have to have enough time between squats and deadlifts.
Meaning I either do squats Tuesday or Wednesday and Ball Wednesday night. Usually feel my legs the next day after squats the wrost.
Deadlifts usually Friday sometimes Saturday. Usually feel my back/legs 36-48 hours after deadlifts. I could do deadlifts on Thursday but doing them Friday means I a bit more over the squats.Ive had to cut out pick up ball on a Saturday to manage load. The funny thing is when we had a full no training deload week before testing and the week of testing (as its stuff all total volume) my pace on the court increased by lots.
-
Other thing to factor in was outside of going to the gym on Saturday morning I say a lot doing work. Usually play 18 holes Sunday morning too but needed a sleep in. That usually warms the back up as well. Might have to take note how the back is when I do/dont get 18 in the morning.

@Paekakboyz yeah was harder than I thought it would be particularly that 5th set. Good though as felt the last couple weeks were a bit easy. Good shock to the body. Reckon I will feel it tomorrow.

Yeah speaking more from a bodyweight perspective these days ( but at about 100kg that's a fair amount of bodyweight ) splitting sets/timing and shocking the body can defintely get the DOMS flaring.......
