Repost from the injury thread for a little more exposure if this interests anyone. + Show Spoiler + Curious if anyone has any thoughts on this. I've been working on hip/SI region discomfort stuff for awhile. Been working on pelvic stability and glute activation etc. I've found I can create the "bad feeling" in my SI region by loading my left leg and then leaning left like you see people doing those side bends or whatever, so not straight hinging on my left hip but curling over. Pretty consistently creates the irritation so I'm going to stop now. Does that tell anyone anything? Just curious as I try to pinpoint this stuff. By the way doing this with the right leg has no problems. Also, a weighted sidelying clamshell movement (like trying to move heavy sheets with your leg in bed lol) feels pretty similar to how my hips feel after going to hard playing ultimate, like the bad muscle lockdown feeling. Also I love that quote Igne | ||

Knowledgeable PTs are pretty good at diagnosing things like that. | ||

 It was really frustrating to see no progress while under multiple PTs. I may have to bite the bullet and try again. | ||

Seems like a hip release technique plus an aligment might help you. You can try releasing the hip capsule yourself by putting an elastic band on your ankle while lying down and letting it pull you. Move farther away to increase resistance. | ||

I've seen a chiro roughly every other month for awhile now. Haven't gone since December though to see if things actually get worse and it seems about the same. I've had my leg length checked a few times. I actually did that distraction this weekend for the first time, seemed to irritate it in a similar way as the side bends. This thing has been a nuisance for so long. What I really want to try is reverse hypers but I have yet to find a place with one of those Might try just grabbing a roman chair backwards but idk | ||

If the chiro was good and he didn't help it means there might be connective tissue damage. Have you had X-rays etc? | ||

Chiro adjusted and checked leg length and for rotation in pelvis. I haven't gone as far as to get x-rays though. Thanks for sticking with me on this. I've tried to be thorough in getting diagnosis, just hoping for a gem here or there  The side bend thing is new to me so thought I'd throw it out there. | ||

A good PT/Chiro will do a lot of soft tissue work and check your movement patterns and strengths/weaknesses. Adjustment is just one part of it, if your muscles are out of whack it's going to keep pulling it out of place and if you have incorrect movement patterns it's going keep recurring. There's a lot of stuff you can do on your own in terms of soft tissue work, mobilization, and REHAB WORK(important). It wont be over night but you should see improvement over a couple weeks. Our athletic trainers for rugby are pretty good with SI joints, doing lots of different hip activations/stretching/etc that make it feel a billion times better (need to do it consistently for sustained improvement though). Basically just come to chicago and I'll get you sorted out :p | ||

I'm really trying to stay on the rehab train. I've done a lot of soft tissue work but I'm guessing I didn't have issues before my injury either because I'm just getting older and there's less cycles left in the system or some stuff got turned off. I think the difference will be in getting the activation stuff down.The loaded one leg side bend thing feels structural though so I'm like what the heck. Maybe it's just already aggravated and that just further annoys it while the other side is calmed down and tolerates it. IDK. That site you linked for your drills has been great though, been incorporating that. Still skyed some fools today over lunch at ultimate though :D | ||

On Monday the squats were really easy, the deadlifts were mildly challenging, and the front squats were pretty tough. I wasn't ever really in fear of not being able to hit all of the planned reps though. On Tuesday, everything was really easy except for the barbell rows. I had to switch over to more Pendlay-style rows since it's too hard for me to maintain the position of bodybuilding-style bent over rows. The accessory work was easy though. Going to increase the amount of weight for barbell shrugs tomorrow and I'll probably try to use 25s for the lateral raises tomorrow. Today nothing was particularly bad. The pause squats were a little annoying cause my stomach was killing me, but they were really easy in terms of the weight. The pause deadlifts were again super easy. The front squats were much easier than before, although my fingers feel a little sore by the end of the eighth set. I should be able to progress fairly easily on every exercise for next week. The front squats seem to be helping a lot for my quad strength, but we'll have to see as I get closer and closer to my previous 5rm for back squats. In other news, I'm going to Disney World next Thursday at 3 in the morning, so I can't actually lift on Thursday-Sunday. I also got two more pairs of 2.5 lb plates and I got a set of microplates that will hopefully last me for a long time to come. It should help a lot for adding weight to pull ups and maybe OHP when I'm in college. I don't think I'll need it much until college, but they're really portable. I got a $75 Visa gift card for some volunteer work I did for the last three years so I decided to finally buy some microplates :D Saturday Spoto Press - 130x4x6 Pause Row - 130x4x6 Overhead Press - 95x10x1 Pullups - BW+7.5x10x1 Barbell Shrugs - 165x12x3 Sunday Back Squat - 185x6x3 Deadlift - 240x6x2 ~didn't have time for anything else on Sunday, so no front squats~ Monday Bench Press - 150x6x3 Barbell Row - 165x6x3 Overhead Press - 110x6x1 Pullups - BW+35x6x1 Barbell Shrugs - 175x12x3 Lateral Raises - 20x12x3 Tuesday Pause Squat - 155x4x6 Pause Deadlift - 205x4x3 Front Squat - 165x3x7 Dumbbell Curls - 25x15x3 Everything went relatively smoothly, save the front squats today. I missed my last rep of the 7th set, and didn't go for my 8th set. I don't think it's too much of an issue moving forward, but I knew that my 10 lb/week linear progress would have to end sometime. Everything else feels relatively good, although rows are starting to get pretty difficult. Don't know how long I can keep up 15 lb/week linear progress for deadlifts, but I'm hoping that it will carry me to 300x6. This puts my projected max around 350 lbs, which is basically where I was during last summer. That will leave me in a decent position to finally hit a 4 plate deadlift (roughly 2.5x bodyweight). | ||
