The Weakest Link

As I almost fell when I rolled off my bed this morning. I was quickly reminded about an old sports saying "you are only as strong as your weakest link". It still applies to my life now as a Crossfitter. My back has been healthy as can be lately. I've been setting new PRs left and right it seems like since December. The last few weeks I have really been lazy about getting my back work in to keep it nice and strong because I've been focusing on getting my shoulder healthy again. Just like that my back reminded me how important it is in everything I do.
I tweaked the nerve in my lower back again on Monday during my last set of Back Squats. I didn't think much of it, but as the day went on it got worse and worse. I've since been to the miracle worker to get jolted with my dose of electricity twice this week already. It's starting to feel better, but it is still very tender. It's not back to square one or anything, but it definitely needs some constant attention and rest, especially with the announcement of 12.2 last night, which I'm pretty stoked about.

WOD
2k Row = 7:50       1:57.7/500m    28 s/m
- It was supposed to be a snatch OTM with 60% WOD, but my back wasn't having any part of explosive extension today. So up to the rower it was. I just wanted to get some work. I wasn't in the mood to go for any PRs, but just wanted to keep a pace stick with it and get a sweat going. That's what I did. Nothing special....time for some R & R the rest of the week.
