Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: February 21, 2017, 04:42:31 pm »So my hip has been acting strange, I can squat deeply now with body weight with no sharp pains or any pains whatsoever just can feel tiny stress at the hip joint, which is normal on a hip based exercise like the squat. But for some reason the pain of the hip is still there. It would pain at certain positions i sit e.g. when you sit on the floor with the shin under you and if you lean back the stretch of the quads connected to the hip would pain mildly. When I move my leg in the lateral direction, meaning sideways bending at the hip, then is this pain at the side of my hips. Or sitting cross legged and you lean at certain positions the hip would act but a little change in the direction of lean would not pain.
So I was wondering, is it safe for me to get back in the gym to do squats, light ofc and progress slowly, or wait until the pain has gone completely out of my life lol.
damn. well it's great to hear that it's clearing up.
as for squatting or not, tbh, i'd avoid it until the weirdness is barely noticeable - and even then maybe still avoid it.
maybe stick to lunges/stepups/rdl's for a while? these aches that never go away can become demoralizing... it's easier for me to give advice than to take it, ie, i've pushed through dumb aches like that & sometimes they become chronic. Finding a good substitute seems to be the key, that's all I know. For example, now i've been forced to substitute slow running with slow walking.
but ya if you take it very slow and heed all warning signs, that's the way to go.. whatever you do, don't rush back in or "get greedy" (keep it very light like you said).
will log later.
