Fitness XL- Your training routine

[quote=“Mark Renton, post: 861997, member: 1796”]Entering week 3 of injury :frowning:

It has dissipated somewhat, but it’s still there!!

I think I was suffering two injuries at once, i’ve been doing Sciatic stretches and that seems to have cleared up the lower back issues, but the hamstring issue is still there. I now think it’s the hip, like I initially suspected, but the sciatic part was confusing everything. I’m sitting here now and I can feel a slightly pinching/shooting pain in the hamstring (only when I sit) I’ve been stretching them out and it has loosened some bit but I am still meeting resistance at the top of the glute when stretching, which I now think is coming from the hip.

I used a tennis ball against the wall yesterday to massage the area and the area just behind the hip, where the glute starts, was very sore.

Just when I was building up some fitness I am now back to square one… Your health turley is your wealth…[/quote]

That’s weird I was sure @Fagan ODowd 's suggestion of taking a parcetamol would have cleared your injury right up.

Seriously, bro I am also entering week 3 of my current lay off but hope to get the all clear to go back training from the osteopath on Wednesday-glutes and hammys still tight as your sister’s arse though.

piriformis syndrome is what I am suffering from-

Probably from doing a little too much too soon and weak hip flexors-

I’m crying inside not being able to do anything.

Had it, a bastard to diagnose, stretching is all that will help

Tell me about it, bro. I tend to eat a lot of shit when I’m laid up too which compounds the lack of training. Hopefully I can ease back into a bit of running before the end of the week because there is a lot of good work being undone at the moment.

Tell me about it… I’m gonna have to up the stretching alright. A minor session in the morning and evening and have a big one during the day at the gym.

Foam rolling- Hip flexor stretches- Glute and hammy stretches yeah???

  • 1 pal.

I’m eating an amount of shite out of boredom- I’ll be getting a few tubby, or Bandage, jibes soon enough…

Yeah, glutes and hammy. The foam roller will be your best friend…

Could probably do with strengthening the hip flexors too man.

Has anyone prescribed you hanging leg raises?
When back in action throw these in. Deadlifts a must as well. Flexibility always seems like the answer, but it’s usually lack of strength in a given area that causes the issue.

2 Phyisos said I had that- had a slipped disk- one year wasted. If it does not clear up straight away get an MRI.[/quote]

Just did it there, tis tough, but once I started using two hands about half way through it was no bother at all.

I’m still out. Any fitness is now long gone- Hoping to return next week for a couple of light sessions and to stretch the body out- It’s gonna be a great winter getting back into shape!! Bring on the cold and darkness.

I did this for the craic the other night mainly out of boredom and also because it’s the only exercise I can do presently- got to 1.30 and I was done and dusted…

I’ve yet to give it a go myself but I’ll probably win the fucking thing.

I’m setting myself the target for the coming year of being able to ‘do a flag’.

i’ll have a go this evening chaps…

Incline bench and wide grip pull ups; clean and press, and deadlift with bent over row; backward lunges with forward raise and hanging leg raises. 4x8 for all done as super sets. Fairly wrecked after that.

@Mark Renton[/USER] @[USER=348]count of monte cristo, tried Bring Sally Up to finish, got to 2.54. Fuming, have to try again and finish soon. Bring it home Count…

Just finished…2.16…serious effort…I’ll be back… Captain America’s didn’t help but would have never finished it…

Good effort. I don’t think I’d finish but I wouldn’t be far off if I did it at the start instead of the end of a session. Sally will be mine though.

You pricks forget I’m injured
