TweetGreat to hear! Keep rollin
TweetMonday, Tuesday, Wednesday - I did a total body routine with super light weight (5s,10s, etc.) high reps. Mainly going for blood flow to heal recovery. Along with this I rolled out my chronically tight areas.

TweetTuesday - rested this day. I haven't been sleeping well I think it is a combo of going to bed late and low blood sugar at night.
Wednesday - did a light workout for lower body. Hip/back wasn't happy. Told chiro via text I wanted to figure out what was wrong so hopefully going to do an MRI on hip. No way that body weight lunges or squats should aggravate my hip that way when I use to squat 365 for 4 reps to parallel.

Miss being pain free and going at it but glad I got something done. Will try and do some light cardio later today.
TweetSounds like much of the lower body training is aggravating your hip? Have you had a simple xray yet on it? I understand your pain with this.

TweetSorry I was posting mainly from work and my buddy in IT said they were getting some new software that would track what folks were doing on their computers, so I had to stop logging on at work and when I am at home I dont have alot of free time. Been doing better. Stretching my hip abductors alot more than normal and seems to be helping. Also focusing on stretching pecs and lats out in all my workouts and that is helping shoulders and finally doing some neck strengthening movements daily and that seems to be helping my neck pain and posture. Only time will tell. I appreciate you Baby checking in on me. I will try to log in more frequently. I went back to logging my workouts in a notebook for the time being.
TweetSorry for being away so long. I use to get on the board at work but my IT buddy said they were installing new software to track everything we look at online, so I stopped getting on the board. At home been busy and both of my laptops went down. I just got this one back up and running the other day.
Went to doc and finally had an MRI. My disc between L5 and S1 is virtually gone. Rest of lower back disc looked good. Anyways this is what has caused alot of my problems and pain.
I plan on permantently stopping all bar squats, bar overhead presses, deadlifts off floor, and any type of heavy deadlift. Also no running or jumping. Going to use Stuart McGill and really focus on getting core strong to minimize any further degeneration and start adding in some decompression therapy.
At least I finally know what has been causing all these problems. I am still consistent with my training and as always inconsistent with my nutrition. HA! but trying to get nutrition dialed in and being consistent.
I will try and do better getting on the board weekly. Probably wont post as much as I was but still will be active.
Just want to say I love you all and I appreciate your support and help. Hope I can return the favor. Talk to you all soon.

Tweetsorry to hear this qhams but I am glad you finally know what is causing your pain. Dont be a stranger here
