    Haven't been on the erg since January. Possibly should continue to rest the back but got impatient and MRI next week. Felt ok during the pieces. Thought a pace of 1:55-2:00/500m would be realistic but was comfortable enough at 1:52.7. If nothing else, the gas tank is ok. Return to football probably helped.

    Haven't barbell benched much lately until a couple of recent sessions where I started doing what was in the start of a programme on the basis that 100kg was the max. Not entirely sure what I could actually max.

    18/05/2025

    Went to physio on Friday about the mildly bulging disks and what to do so one thing is a lot of warming up before any rowing. Core and mobility work in general.

    Warm up: Cat/camel, deadbugs, side planks, glute bridges, rotations (x 1,000,000)

    C2: 3 x 1,000m (2-min rests) @ 1:53.5/500m
    Suitcase Carries: 4 WS e/s
    Leg Extensions: 4 WS e/s
    OH Tricep Extensions: 4 WS
    Lateral Raises: 4 WS
    Pallof Press: 3 WS e/s

    The morning after, the back wasn't feeling much of an after-effect from rowing. Didn't go all out as i didn't want the fatigue to cause technique to break down. Hoping that any residual feeling is just because I haven't rowed in quite a while but i had felt it a lot more this past while.

    Core warm up
    Incline Bench: 4 WS
    Pull Ups: 7 WS
    Leg Extensions: 5 WS
    Lateral Raises: 4 WS e/s

    Back had been feeling good of late and out of nowhere, a nerve started acting up. Struggled to bend, let alone tie shoelaces for 2 days. Better again. Core warm up definitely helped
