good and bad news. nothing cancer related in the back strain buy some compressed vertebrae inupper spine and a bit of degeneration, though thats generally expected at this age. i already had some neuropathy from chemo and this has made it a lot worse so off for some sessins with an exercise physiologist. suspect a slip whilat squatting caused this, but have been back squatting since without pain.

just on 2 years now since I finished chemo, 18 months since my bowels stuffed back in, and I finally matched my pre-cancer deadlift, all other lifts are well above that level. 150kg*5. ripped the callus off my hand in the process which has stopped me going back for more.

now to the big challenge. preparing for annual scope in a couple of days so on limited diet. How do people drink their coffee without milk?

Coffee with milk? May as well be a cappuccino. :P Those scopes really suck, but here's to getting some good news out of it.

Now, about your deadlift. Do you use chalk? That helps with the calluses.

I've never used chalk, just a mixed grip from 120 up. never had this happen before but I did seek out the new bars in the gym with very rough gnarling which is probably the reason.
