Hi,

While performing my 1 RM in BP 2.0 for bench press (210 lbs) I lightly pulled a back muscle on my left side. Luckily I was smart enough not to continue with my 1RM squat followed by heavy DL stretch, believe me it was difficult to quit the workout after so much preparation for that 1 RM....

It is not that painful but it feels uncomfortable.
Could you pls advice for how long should I wait until train again?
for my next workout, should I finish workout #5 for 1Rm squat or should I jump into GLP1?
meanwhile I am off should I take my ecdy ebol?

thanks for your help!

I know what pain you are talking about.I got that all the time before when doing powerlifter form on bench but now do bb form(back flat on the bench)

I think it would be okay to workout again once you dont feel uncomfortable anymore, id finish workout 5 just warmup well

Definitely still take e-bol

Thanks Man for your advice.
I think I did arch my back in order to get that 1RM and therefore the pulled muscle....
I will be off for a 2-4 days before going for my 1RM in squat

You certainly want to get this checked out, ideally by a chiro prior to maxing. What at first seems to be a muscular pull, is more likely a subluxation of the vertabrae (either an external or internal rotation). These subluxations put pressure on a nerve, which runs to the muscle.

The muscle then contracts/stays in a state of contraction (sometimes referred to as spasm), in order to protect the joint. Thus, the underlying cause really is skeletal, not muscular. Of course, that's just looking at it from the outside. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending how you look at it - I speak from experience.

Heavy weights an especially squats, are nothing to fool around with. I'm not one to lecture, but I do look out for my people's health #1, performance in always #2.

Tough to make gains, when you're six feet under...
