Leg Press - 6 plates per side x 4 sets of 20
Pause Squats - up to 455 x 5 singles, then 500 x 1
Not as much pain today. Still not pain free by any means, and 500 was not fast on the pause squats, but I feel like I'm making progress.
Lunges - 4 sets of 20
Here is the interview I did with my PT about what my injury is, and we're doing to fix it.
Part 1 and Part 2 -

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that man, never been to a PT and was interesting to watch the whole process. Rob

Cool stuff man. Hey if you don't mind delving into your personal life a bit I just wanted to know what you did for a living?

I can see you yelling, "if you kill the joe, YOU MAKE SOME MORE!"
Awesome vids Paul. I work as an ET and the 2 biggest things we deal with is glute strength issues and their association to spinal problems and a lack of scapula mobility. I found these videos very interesting and looks like you have a good PT.

Thanks for posting Paul.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of applying to PT school, so this was fascinating for me.
Maybe you could do a mini-series of posts+videos with your PT about common injuries and inflexibilities, you know, knees, elbows, rotators, shoulders etc... that sure would be interesting to many people.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. Maybe what i can do each month is, collect some videos from guys or questions and then have wendy respond.......
DeleteYes that would be great.
DeleteMany thanks Paul...
ReplyDeleteI have begun doing these today and I'm enormously weak in the first exercise. Hopefully it solves my problems too. Please keep us updated on the process!
Glad I'm not the only one getting my ass kicked doing seemingly-easy PT exercises (fixing scapular instability in my shoulders right now). Thanks for the vids Paul.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting to watch, I learned quite a bit. Obviously right now your goal is some acute rehab in prep for your meet, but in the future, do you plan on doing any weighted glute work? A lot of trainers advocate the barbell hip thrust http://youtu.be/jVlQhlKf-5Q , and the barbell glute bridge http://youtu.be/03rSrFdq9P0
ReplyDeleteJust curious what your thoughts were.
More than likely I will be putting in some glute work for lower body stuff after this.

ReplyDeletenice gastrocnemius. i have gastroc-envy
LOL thanks. All the bodybuilders at my gym are envious of my calf development. I just got fat for a couple of years and they stayed.
DeleteA couple weeks ago I started having what I thought was hip pain on my left side from squatting. No amount of foam rolling and icing helped. After reading your post I noticed I corkscrewed from the left side in and my left foot was always more forward than my right foot. I guess I naturally did this to compensate. You just saved me a whole lot of grief. Thanks Paul.
ReplyDeleteThank Wendy!
