Injured my back
During yesterday's session.
Was doing a squat with about 35kgs when the bar slip off my hands, bounced off my back. OUCH!
Still finished the session.
6 sets of 4 reps basic movement (20kgs)
14 reps with 35kgs (hurt my back on the 8 rep)
6 sets of 3-4 reps pull (3 on 35kgs, 3 on 40kgs)
5 reps of back squat (3 sets on 40kgs, last 2 on 45 kgs)
right now, my back stings.
may have to schedule a doctor appointment on monday.
just hope it is not a slipped disc or any other massive injury to my kidneys on spine.
but then again, what was I thinking when I continued training and moving around now.
Maybe it is not as bad as I thought.
Will find out more on Monday

No more aching thighs
Have started to learn to pace myself during the routines.
Today was concentrating on the Snatch.
about 5 sets of 5 reps basic technique
7 sets of pull (moving gradually from 15kgs to 35 kgs)
4 sets of 5 back squats (35kgs up to 40kgs)
and 4 sets of 5 arm extensions

Thigh aching
Have isolated the aching muscles to mainly the thighs since weightlifting needs a lot of squat motion (and I still can't do a full squat)
Climbing up & down stairs has become a chore and sitting down even worse (seems that downward motion is much more painful even minus the weights)

Body Aching (Part 2)
Still haven't mastered the squat.
On the plus side, pulled 40 kgs from ground & knee level to upright position (about 4 sets of 3 repetitions each)
Worked on my Snatch and Clean & Jerk and tried to incorporate feet extensions (sideways) using a 20 kg bar
For the Clean & Jerk, my coach says I favored my right leg (more explosive force there)
Can't wait for tomorrow to come and see whether i can get out of bed or even climb stairs (My thighs are aching but not swollen yet)

Maiden Gym Session today
After reading up on the sports, I got an invite to practice at the National Sport Complex in Bukit Jalil today around 4pm.
Arrived to meet up with the coach cum national athlete (must dig his name out).
Went through the weighlifting basic routine, snatch, squat, clean & jerk (pull will be done another day, not tomorrow)
Needless to say, my whole body is aching.
Will provide more updates when I reached my milestones.
