if it were me, because I make bad decisions, I likely would have done the same thing.
However if I were to give me some advice I'd tell me to get the calories back up to around 2200 probably, eat for performance and increase my cardio so that I'm still building something interesting while shedding fat through output rather than restriction. I know from experience that when you get your calories too low too regularly the metabolism can adjust and all the sudden you're at 1500 calories and wondering why you're not losing weight.
however time is also a thing, and I don't have the ability to hammer out 2 hour gym sessions every day anymore.
biggest reason I don't really like PPL is because my pull day is a leg day, for me...
happens to all of them lol. I did it once like 15 years ago and now days I subconsciously do this wild arm tuck thing when I roll over in my sleep. My brain is like NO! and it wakes me up every time I turn towards her. lol
maybe... can you post a video next time? maybe your form is off.
there is a growing body of study correlating back pain with stress etc rather than physical issues. basically that a lot of back pain can be in our heads rather than a real injury. I had that same one you're talking about. Had a musculoskeletal specialist tell me it was a torn ligament, 2 different PT's agreed, a 3rd specialist found a bone spur, crushed disc under my L5, rubbing against the sciatic and recommended surgery. ten thousand RDL's later here I am, no surgery, no pain.
