I skipped the 45* back raise because I didn't want to over do it. Everything felt great and I had minimal tightness. The only thing that did bother me was my left hip flexor wouldn't loosen up. Great to have everything go right starting out!

Didn't do the face pulls because my upper back is still really sore from Monday. I may have to switch things up at least for the next couple of weeks when my sleep is down. Also, no bicep prehab as I think it's a waste of time for now.

MORE DYNAMIC STRETCHING
FOAM ROLLING

I had a slight low back pump, but it was remedied by some dynamic stretching and more blue heat.
I was supposed to do hip adduction/abduction but I think I'm gonna leave those off for now until I'm more confident about my hip holding up. Other than that, I felt great and was glad to hit my hamstrings really hard.

COOL DOWN WALK
MORE STRETCHING

I know it isn't much. The bench was off or something, that's why I stopped early. It felt heavier on my right side and my right arm was tight/sore in a few places, so I just quit.
I'm getting little twinges of pain in my low back just from sitting and it's making me pretty angry. I'm gonna hop on the foam roll tonight and then make sure I sleep on my side. Also, I have to change my routine up and then I'll try to post it on here for my records.

Keep on pluggin...
