I guess I am officially recovered from my cold. Too bad I tweaked my back as a welcome back present :-p I don't think it's "Injured" just a little strained.
The first couple rounds of this were slow mostly because i was just feeling out what my back would accept. I was able to pick up the pace at the end when it was thoroughly warmed up ... although I'm afraid i might pay a price for my enthusiasm ... I was also using an extremely light kettlebell to make sure my back didn't get unnecessarily abused.
I forgot to hit the timer between the situps and the supermen in the first round until i was about 6 supermen in, so those two times are a little skewed.
The KTE (or knees to chest, in my case) were definitely the biggest limiting factor. My grip kept failing - in addition to my core muscles just giving out. I think the height I was able to get my knees was a bit negatively impacted by my back. I think I've had better ROM on them in the past.
Mostly it was just really nice to complete 100% of a workout. Tomorrow is a lot of KB SDHP, and I might have to go light with those as well, which is sad, becuse i really like them. We'll see how I feel in the morning.

Good call on being gentle w/ your back. That kind of decision is so much better than pretending all systems are go and paying for it later. Great reminder, thank you.
