Soreness: left hip flexor is paining alot when flexed
BW: battery low of the scale
Warm up
mobility and activation drills stating from the hips, glutes, quads, hamstring, calves, ankle
forgot to stretch my iliopsoas
Workout
3 x 5 @ 20kg squat jumps - empty bar
3 x 6 @ 60kg, 50kg, 40kg - 60kg was too heavy for my hips that on the second reps my hip became very sore, so had to go down and do it with still pain but was able to pull it off. Also when doing the heavy squats and it is heavy to come, automatically I face up towards the ceiling and push up, I don't know why, but I think that stops me from bringing up hip up before my chest.
3 x 6 @70kg RDL - easy
3 x 20 @80kg calf raises - very tough and glutes sore too lol.
Cool down
stretch my lower body
stretch my hips
walk back
Comment
I should not have squatted very heavy, this has caused my hip pain to pop up again, its painful to squat like 7/10 its not injury pain, but like hip strain pain. Next time will start low and work up again week by week try not to irritate my hips. For some reason when I strain a muscle, I have this misunderstanding that stretching that muscle will help with the pain and maybe the problem too.
