OK, so I've hurt myself and I'm trying to figure out exactly what I did.
I injured myself doing an S&S workout. The swings were 2H 28kg, 4L & 4R 24 kg, 2H 28 kg. I did the getups 1x24 kg, 4x20 kg.
I did all the recommended mobility work prior to the workout.
After the workout I felt fine. I wasn't smoked, it was just another good, normal workout. The next day (last Saturday) I was really sore in my upper back, it partcularly bad in the middle of my back a little higher than should blade level. It felt like a bad case of DOMS.
On Sunday, it was worse. I had trouble even moving, which sucked, because I was working. Tylenol and Advil got me through it, but it was not good. Monday was still bad, but not as bad as Sunday. Since then, it's gotten slightly better every day, but it's tight even now. I went to a chiro last Wednesday. He said that my spine wasn't in that bad of shape and that the injury was to the soft tissue as opposed to the actual spine alignment.
I haven't done another workout, yet. I considered it today, but decided to wait until tomorrow. My first workout back will be with a 16kg bell.
So here's the question. What the hell did I do to myself and what can I do to make sure that I don't do it again?
