On Monday I did my upper body workout. Everything went fine except during the horizontal pull with resistance bands, the strap attaching the bands to the handle snapped while under a lot of tension. This sent a twinge through my lower back. It felt fine at the time so I finished the workout, and went on a bike ride with no issues. But later in the day my back got sore and stiff. I think it is just a muscle strain, as it got a little better overnight. I’ll take it easy over the next few days and see how it goes.
I replaced the handle and this time I backed it up with a rope. I occasionally inspect my bands because they can snap when they get old and worn, but I’ll now add inspecting the handles.
Things had been going well up till this setback. Saturday I did my upper body workout and then an easy ride. Sunday I did a long hard ride, with intervals, and it felt great. Yesterday I just did an easy 30 minute ride. Saturday’s ride is posted on Strava here, Sunday’s here.
Sunday I also went with my friend Joseph to some garden railroads in our area, one in Gilroy and one in Hollister. The owners are passionate about their hobbies and put a lot of time and imagination into them, and it was fun talking to them.
