Ben’s random thoughts

Leg workout #2 of block
All sets are to near exhaustion 3 sets each
Superset
Jumping Squats Smith machine 155 175 195
Frog jumps

Superset 2
Keiser a300 running machine -resistance varies and changes during sets
Depth jumps

Superset 3
Jumping deadlifts - hammer strength machine
155 175 195
Bounding

Superset 4
Jumping split squats on a300 belted squat machine - resistance varies
Single leg barbell hip thrust - 95 115 135

Rep speeds and timing of reps for each exercise are too intricate to detail without me having a seizure lol

Also, I enjoyed 14 mangoes yesterday

Have a terrific day people.
Fuck that workout my god. Those Keiser machines are legit. Used the squat one and the runner during pro day training. Fucking torture devices man.

My hips are killing me. Like inner near hip flexor area. What should I do? TB and BPC or do I actually need to like stretch and stuff?

Keiser underrated af. I love them.

Sounds to me like you haven’t been warming up properly lol
You know the drill: tb500/Bpc mega doses at least 2x per day min am/pm, ice/heat, some tiger balm, light stretching, kinesiology tape job, possibly even some light flat short duration(10-20)minimal resistance bike riding if possible or stationary to get blood flow increase and of course rest.

You’re 100% correct. I have not been warming up correctly lol. Ugh.

Okay. Thank you Doctor Ben
 
just to warn you: my doctorate is honorary lol
Get better my friend.
I prefer an honorary doctorate in "i've actually dealt with and done this shit" versus "i read about this in textbooks but I have very little practical application in sports context"

I will, it's not such a big deal I can't train, it just is starting to wear on me. Stupidly, I will keep going until the wheels fall off, lol.

Be careful, I said that last part in early 2010 and ended up at steadman-Hawkins clinic with a two inch labrum tear and was out 15 months
 
Should note: 15 months was time between tour matches. Took about 2 years to get back to consistently winning matches.
Point is don’t fuk around with hip area discomfort
I ignored it and played through it for months until the pain got so bad I couldn’t stand it.
Classic fuk around and find out lol

I’ll try to heed your warning… this has been going on for a minute now couple months but recent leg day aggravated.

Megadosing BPC and TB…10mg of each today sounds good?
 
What caused it initially? Going too hard on bike or from prior gym session? I was wondering why you never did legs before this recent workout

It started at some point during biking. One day randomly took a long stride around the house and it popped pretty deep.

The popping tends to happen on external rotation of the hip

I was just not doing legs cuz I didn’t feel like it lol. But now I’ll probably chill on any squat variation. ISO Hams and quads are fine

Is it painful? Can you “sit” in a deep squat position for decent length of time without discomfort?

Sounds to me like upper IT band
I’d definitely focus on stretching, massage, anti-inflammation meds(in addition to peps) and kinesio tape(properly) of the IT band and hip flexor.

Slightly painful at times but mostly just jarring like wtf. Feels deep.

I can sit in deep squat without pain yeah

Sounds good…gonna get hooked up with a sports massage soon and I’ll be stretching. I totally neglect stretching and my IT bands are notoriously tight…I guess my body is yelling at me for good reason

Stupid question, maybe, but how much rest have you given it since this happened?
