The dry needling and massage followed by a good night's sleep seems to have really helped.
My body position is back to normal, with a little tightness, but no pain. Huge deal.
Avoiding bending forward doing lots of upward dog.
So I went to Crossfit planning to do what I could.
Started with snatch 3 doubles at 65% (I did 75#). Went really well. Took a while to warm up but managed some pretty good snatches.
Then clean and jerk, 3 double at 65%, rest as needed (did 125#). Same deal. Happy with that.
No issue with my back.
WOD was not the best option for my back, thankfully only 8 minute AMRAP:
- 1 rope climb
- 4, 8, 12, 16, 20... alternating dumbbell snatches. 70# men/ 50# women.
The day I hurt myself we did rope climbs. I don't think they were the cause but still had me worried.
You have to really bend down low to pick up a dumbbell off the floor, so I scaled to power snatch with 75#.
Climbed the rope carefully and it wasn't a problem
Snatches were still hard, but at least I didn't have to bend so low. Made 4 rounds with like 5 seconds left, no point trying to climb the rope.
Felt good to move.
Did some bretzels and more upward dog before I left.
Happy with that.
