1. Two weeks off and my back is on the mend… and life goes on posted July 12, 2010
   

   Well I did it again. Tore some muscles in my lower back, more specifically a couple of the muscles that are important with S.I. Joint mobility. I was doing what I love – lifting heavy weights and felt a pop! And being the typical guy I shrugged it off thinking, “now that was weird”. When I went to increase the weight and add to the load I knew that it was more severe than I had first thought. 10 days later I still have a bruise that radiates from my lower back down to middle of my butt. Nasty!

   Great workout at Crossfit Langley last night. Workout was quick but effective (almost too effective as I tweaked my back a bit – inflamed S.I. Joint again)…

   A day behind the Crossfit.com site, tonight I did the Saturday February 6th, 2010 WOD. I couldn’t pass this one up. Its just what the doctor ordered (well, at least what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him) while I’m nursing my S.I. joint back to health.

4. I’m back and feeling better than ever! posted February 23, 2009
   

   Well, after almost a month off from any Cross-fit or weight training I’m back at it with a vengeance. Tuesday’s night WOD, “Annie with a twist”, was a good one to come back to. The workout consists of doing 15 rounds of 10 Double-unders and 10 ab-mat sit ups for time. I banged it off in 9:02! Honestly, I did not expect to do so well after a 4 week hiatus.

5. My Back is killing me: A Sacroiliac Joint injury sucks! posted January 2, 2009
   

   What is a sacroiliac joint?

   The Sacroiliac Joints are located at the bottom of the back. You have one either side of the spine. The Sacroiliac joints help make up the rear part of the pelvic girdle and sit between the sacrum and the ilia.
