After an unexpected week off of lifting, it felt so good to get back under a barbell Wednesday, even if just for light tempo squats. 🙌🙌 I don't talk about it often, but I have a few spine issues that occasionally act up. A sacralization (basically 2 bones grew together that shouldn't have) at L5 results in an SI joint that cant move normally, scoliosis, and disc damage in my lumbar spine. Powerlifting has actually been pretty helpful in managing the issue, and I rarely have any pain. However, when those discs get aggravated, it can be pretty severe. Lucky for me, I have the amazing @drsloanbeard to take care of me get me back to doing what I love--often better than before. 🤗 #betterthanbefore #TheFARM #liftheavyprincess
