Did 10 kettlebell ABCs the day before yesterday and my back was hurting after. Thankfully it did not worsen the next day. Originally planned to incline bench but after training for a powerlifting meet, I'm getting bored of bench pressing. I still look forward to my heavy Saturdays but I had a strong itch to press overhead while also not worsening my back. I was able to make it work by wearing my belt on every set, including all work-up sets, and just being extra mindful to squeeze my abs and my glutes. If anything, this is good practice for doing those cues all the time. The gift of injury.
