Fucking great diversity of movement. Feels like a great programming when you're shaking the rust outta dem wheels right?
Sure it's the lower back? Study some anatomy if you havent already and check your own body for the big landmarks in the area (sacroilial crest).I used to think I had low back issues - turns out it more often was the medial glutes than anything else, with the occasional hip flexor hiccup. Rarely, if ever, was it the lumbar.

Felt really good today. Not sure why. Progress still chugging along. BW today is now almost 27 lbs lower than my peak almost 3 months ago. At the same time, feeling stronger and stronger and still getting some nice noob gains even at a 1k daily caloric deficit. So far since mid April, 1.5 months ago, my squat is up 60 lbs and bench is up 35 lbs while body weight is down 20lbs.
BW: 284

-315*10 (stopped on these as I started feeling pain in both legs. Sort of like soreness but more a feeling of something not right. Backed off since I might be not recovery enough this far in to the diet
You already know this, but I wanna reinforce the fact that you made the right choice. Just had a workout today that woulda mentally ground me down to a nub a few years ago, but that I'm much more at peace with now that I'm better at planning for long-term progress instead of short-term rewards. Given your extended time being side-lined I had to call out that positive glimpse cuz I know just how tempting it is to go hard in the mufuggin paint and flagellate yourself when the body (understandably) caves.
Guess it's all a convoluted way of saying "keep up the good work".
