TweetNot at all, we all have those moments. We just know who to go to when we are,lol.
TweetI have known I had a high hip for years. When it goes out of alignment one hip ends up being higher causing all these issues.
Golf and heavy lower body lifting affects it to get out of alignment. Chiro helps but again I simply get out of alignment at the drop of a hat. Started doing some rehab stuff focusing on core, hips, and glutes. I also found a chiro on youtube who shows how to realign the hip. It seems to be working, so we shall see.
Thanks for checking in on me. I am not a quieter and think there is always an answer to the problem. Just got to find the right people who have the answer and then give it a go.
Thanks for always being so supportive. Guess I am a little needy like the girl I helped the other day.

TweetI may be consistent but my intensity and volume just aren't there. Diet has not been what it needs to be either.
Honestly right now I am trying my best to train around whatever injury and get my pain levels down in my hip/back, neck, and shoulder.
Thanks for the support.
TweetFriday - back/hip has been so so today. Something I did yesterday aggravated my hip.

TweetMeasured my waist this morning and I have put on fat. The lack of intensity combined with too many calories and carbs what do you expect. Tried getting back on track today with nutrition but already fell off the wagon. Not sure what is up with my lack of discipline lately.
Taught a class today doing timed intervals of isolation work combined with cardio based movements (squats, stepups, lunges, plank chops, etc.)

TweetKeep it up qhams. You think the chiro is really helping? As far as the hip, if its worse, I am thinking dead lifts and step ups are a no go for awhile??? While evryone is different, before I had hip surgery I could not do barely a things. I hope that you dont have to go that route. Take it easy

TweetThe chiro does get me realigned but it takes very little for my hip to get out of alignment. I played golf yesterday and took a celebrex last night and still wrecked today. Also woke up at 1am. My insomnia has returned full force. Something is off hormonally. I need to make some tweaks and get it straightened out. Doesnt help my sugar consumption has been going up driving my low blood sugar spells.
I mainly am trying to do rehab exercises for hip 3 times a week MWF. I agree need to drop the deadlift and maybe the step-ups. I honestly think I need to stick to rehab movements and any other movements i do single leg at a time. 1-leg leg press, 1-leg leg curls, etc. etc.
Thanks for checking on me.

Your knowledge and awareness will help you but I know the struggle is real. Pain is an indicator of growth but which way we growing? lol

TweetChronic insomnia over the weekend. Pretty sure it is some supplements I started taking that had alpha lipoic acid in them. Dropped my blood sugar drastically and then my adrenals went into overdrive keeping me up.
