blah. not so disappointing given that i lifted yesterday but not great.

Lol. Just wondering btw, is your knee pain above or below the patella? Also, what have you been doing in your situation? It seems like theres no fix, cause if you get more hip dominant, you aggravate your left hip, and if you get more knee dominant, you aggravate your right knee. You think if you planted RL it would help too?

lol thanks leonel.

the knee pain is above the patella. left hip pain is lateral and it's more like background discomfort, i usually don't notice it. the thing that irks it most is hip circles, oddly.

Yeah my hip has also become manageable and it's now more of a nuisance because it often gets tight but pain is not really present anymore
haha... weird. hip circles are also something that my hip doesn't like. we might be on to something here. other exercises I tried to do and had to ditch because they felt uncomfortable were weighted leg raises and bulgarian splitsquats.

I  notice that my left leg has restricted flexion+internal rotation ROM. I think it has something to do with the hip socket not being loose enough in that direction. Some other telling symptoms of hip issues for me are sleeping is most comfortable at kind of a 45 degree angle (facing down and to the side) as well as sometimes sitting asymmetrically and sometimes standing with my weight on 1 leg. My persisting issue with my left groin likely has to have something to do with this too. BSS and sprints aggravate my injury. Didn't you have impingement Leonel. Someone posted in my journal about it a while ago.

I have right knee pain too, MCL: mostly I notice it after heavy squats, esp when I do them with a more knee dominant technique.

lol thanks leonel.

Ah, I see. Doesn't seem to be much of a problem then. Yea, I suspect there is more quad recruitment in the right knee during the LR plant. Opposite for RL, which is why I think I got injured so easily when i tried to switch to one foot jumping from RL. I was already quad dominant in both legs, and the left leg was like completely quad dominant.

You're going to visit Switzerland, where are you going?
