Yesterday was a bad reminder of the year I spent being out of commission because of my back. Today I felt a bit better. I spent most of the day wondering why my back was hurting so much.

Sure I had done max deadlift a few days ago, then Sunday I did all those sumo deadlift high pulls. Back was tight from the first day, not too bad. Sunday felt good too, Sunday night another story.
What had I done different in the last week or so? Not drinking the same amount of water that has become normal for me. I drink at least 96 oz if not more. I also added hour long bike rides, which I really sweat from. Dehydration the culprit?
I started to drink water today, by the time I had 100 oz + electrolytes my back was feeling much better. Hope I can get back to working out tomorrow. Way more water, warm up and cool down should keep this problem away.

Hope you are all doing well? Keep up the great work.
