I had some pain in the low back. It was very dull when compared to last week. I went through this routine fast because of time constraints. Maybe this was the reason for the pain?

Virtually pain free today. A bit of cramping, but that went away after I got home. My SI joint on the right side popped a bit when I did the hanging abs. I had a deep-tissue massage last Thursday and a chiropractic adjustment on Friday. Seems things are getting better.

No pain during the squats, just some tightness in the low back. Did have some pain during RDLs if I bent over at the hips and dropped my head down, too. The pain got pretty intense but has subsided. Typical tightness/weakness in the hip joint. Had a bit of pain in the sacrum during squat, but nothing bad. Getting a deep-tissue massage this evening and seeing a chiropractor friend tomorrow to have a look-see.
