Entry #385

Weigh~in: 221 lbs.

ME lower~body

Squats (at last):
45 lbs., 15 reps
45 lbs., 10 reps
135 lbs., 5 reps
185 lbs., 5 reps
225 lbs., 5 reps
275 lbs., 5 reps
The weight was light and my balance was impeccable, but I threw caution to the wind due to slight stiffness in my back. I only went down to parallel.

Lunges:
105 lb. dumbbells, 5 reps...
...7th rep, and then
CRUNCH.
My spine crumpled like an accordion. I stood for a few moments in shock, then dropped the weights and staggered to a seat. There was a lesson payed for advancing too impatiently. Everything else had to be cancelled. Enduring the seat shape on the drive home was more taxing than the squats.

It will be bothersome trying to sleep tonight, as there's no possible position that isn't painful; lying down hurts more than standing. Comfort is for the weak, anyways.
