Comment:
Pressing was a bit harder than I thought it would be but not too bad. Did some bodyweight back extensions to test the waters and to get some blood flowing there as well as to get that area used to a bigger ROM. Hamstring stretching is also quite therapeutic. The strain took a foot off of my usual toe touch flexibility. Im doing other rehab stuff throughout the day also.

Next time for rehab will probably be empty bar conventional deadlifts. Maybe 75-95 lb if that feels good. I found last time that deadlifting was very helpful, strangely enough.

Even stranger is... the remnants of my old injury are gone. Maybe it took a reinjury to stimulate some healing or something... maybe chip off some scar tissue. Not that I'd recommend doing that on purpose. I might come out better than I started.

Looking to hit "strong" for chins (+100 x 10)  in maybe a year by the standard here: http://www.lift-run-bang.com/p/what-constitutes-strong.html. I think I can hit four right now, six if I were to drop about 10lb of bodyweight.

The other standards are kinda insane.
