Workout A - 07/04/12
Workout 5
On the second last rep of squats I felt a twinge in my glute, definitely came from my piriformis syndrome which was properly diagnosed last week by a physio/sports masseur. Hence why I skipped deadlifts, the pain was shocking so I did bench and had a boiling hot shower. Even getting my arch for bench was painful, but the pain subsided the next day. I went to town on with the foam rolling on my glute, and today I actually feel better than I did before I twinged it. I'm going to the physio this Saturday and he's going to give me dry needling. Hoping after another couple of treatments I can put this niggling injury to bed. Nutrition was ok over the Easter weekend, ate a lot of food but not necessarily good food of course. Back on the horse today!

be sure to foam roll and stretch your glutes
ReplyDeletedo you think it happened due to a lack of flexibility or what?
It's been a recurring injury for so long, originally did it doing lunges. The physio says it's a tough one to foam roll because it's so deep in the glute. Need to buy a foam roller, because at the moment I use a spiky ball and a tennis ball, neither of which work well on my quads and hip flexors. Thanks for following man!
