This past week has been hell. I did biceps the other day and that's all I've done in 19 days. Today just standing or sitting is causing me a good bit of pain. Good thing Is I got in touch with a doctor, bad news is earliest I can see him is Jan 4th. But he is the only one who specializes in non invasive healing and pain management when it comes to neck and spine issuesSounds like things are starting to come back around for you.
I have had to back the weight down dramatically with this sciatic issue.
True, might have to rep it out though...

Start doing planks, and reverse sittips (lay on stomach, pull back into an arch with legs and upper body up and in, like a half circle) hold for 60-90 seconds, do 4 sets a couple days a week.
Sciatica is almost always a disc issue, if they are herniated or bulging they can heal and reverse but you have to change your habits. It takes months to truly start feeling better. Dont sit for long periods of time, always keep good posture.
Get an mri and see what levels are affected.
Spoke with a guy last night at my CrossFit gym and he herniated an L5 disc. Said he will no longer be able to squat and deadlift heavy. He is in quite a bit of pain. He was puking out back during our workout last night
Mine is S1-L5 L5-L4 L4-L3 L3-L2 it's a mother. I don't sit much, I constantly get up and move. Do tons of those superman's. Move a block of wood a work a few weeks back that aggrivated it then more work on top of it and yea it's just super angry with me right now.

S1 through L4 are super bad and L4 through L2 are close behind. Yes all herniated. Some days are good, but most days I'd say I'm in pain. Generally on a scale of 1-10 it's a 3. This last week ish is closer to a 7

Gangstas are very stiff feel great but already ripping thereselves apart, one had a snag and the velcro just keeps tearing it out more and more. Love them but worried about how long they will last.
Maybe I got them from a place on amazon, the right one is freyed up looking but the left is straight up coming apart. However they do work wonders did 110 incline dumbells friday with a limpy wrist:woott:
Went to the gym today to get in bench and squats.

Got through week 1... Lets just say it's a F*cking azz kicker:rofl: I'm straight up broke off.
I started week one over as Jesse mentioned it would work the best doubling the first 3 weeks or so before going into the taper. The Volume is off the charts, lots of sets and lots of reps. Workouts are 2-2.5 hours long.
Today was Deads followed by bench. 325 deads for a ton of reps and 245 bench for the same.
Back is sore but still functioning. Going to see a specialist tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok before I put the hammer down:thumb:
I have been doing lots of foam rolling and stretching before and after each workout, part of the reason there so long... It seems to be doing the trick.
My weight had gone up to 215 2 weeks ago. I started Jesse's diet 2 weeks ago and started week 1 training last week. He has me doing HIIT 4 times a week for 10 minutes. I weighed 208 Sunday morning in my birthday suit. I will have the wife take a pic of me today and one before my meet on the 20th of Feb. You all can make fun of my old ass. I'm going to give Waid's pretty ass a run for his money

Does your leg press deck tilt as it comes down? The bottom of mine tilts towards you as you get to the bottom, it sucks something fierce. Starts rolling my butt off of the back rest, not good for spine health... I try to keep the weight manageable as to not roll my can to much.
