Reverse Hypers will F You UP!

Did reverse hypers for the second time today.
Despite using no weight, my back is so sore right now I don't think I'd be able to run more than two miles.

Should I keep doing Reverse Hypers?

The formula is simple.

(Using all positive numbers)

Benefit-to-Deadlift/Impairment-to-Running * Desire-to-reach-Deadlift-Goal/Desire-to-advance-running

This gives me (using 1 as strong negative, 3 as neutral, 5 as strong benefit):

5/4 * 5/5 = 1.25*1 = 1.25

(Score greater than 1 would suggest continuing, 1 would be neutral, less than 1 would be a score suggesting quitting).


So the numbers say I should continue.
And I'm intrigued by two things:

1) I had NO IDEA my back was this weak. I just assumed it was stronger since I could pull 455.

2) In the long-term, a stronger back should be beneficial to running.
