Ah the juxtaposition that is the lower back and all of its glorious muscles and connective tissues. You stabilize my core until I break you. You lift monstrous weights until they bend you. You work and you toil. You hurt and you boil with the rage and pain my lack of glute work causes you. Thank you for picking up the slack. Thank you for teaching me the hard lesson that hamstrings matter. Maybe if you wouldn't let me lift such big weights it would be easy to fix my technique but you are always there for a heavy triple. Ah but never for a ten rep max. Singles are your joy and reps are your death. Strongman is my enemy and powerlifting my king. But alas I must slay may enemy and give the finger to my king. I will have no ruler but my enemies will rival the stars. Fix the movement or rely on pressing and fast feet....maybe a bit of both. Cheers to you my loyal and bellicose back. May you stay strong and stable and may I not end you.
