Hey everybody! First off sorry I am not as active as I should be I do read a bunch when I get on but since work has been better for me I don't time like days of old but this will always be my one and only home and source for ghey humor and all things iron I respect so many of you and have grown only by using the advice I have gotten here .
So early fall around mid October I was working up to a peak in strength training when I injured what I called my lower back. I laid off for the better part of 3 months with anything heavy just trying to do what I could mostly volume work and core. I really thought I would need a MRI and possibly surgery but I tried rehabbing it on my own first then went to a chiropractor which helped. I found a massage therapist who has a bs in kinesiology she never worked with strength athletes but she knew how to work me back to health. I felt great seeing her every week until I got to a maintenance of every other week my wallet felt a lot better after that .
So the last 6 weeks or so I have been getting back at it again working my way back up in weight this week was a heavy week for squats 5x3 set/rep at 365 which is getting close to the working weight I was using before the injury. Everything felt fine the day of I stretched correctly rolled out correctly hit the weights and it went super smooth I felt great absolutely planted to the floor never felt like I was to far forward I got a outside look from someone I respected they felt my form was right but the pain is back .. Not like it was by a long shot but its a similar feeling where as if when I injured it say a 10 on pain today is a 4 or 5 .
The therapist says that its my hips and glute min that the pain is radiating from what ever she does gets it feeling better much faster I will see her tomorrow and see what she thinks. So with out videos what do you guys think is it a form issue or maybe I just haven't healed completely and aggravated the injury. Until the this last session I have been virtually pain free . My heavy dL session went perfect 0 pain any other work outs also it seems like I have a squat issue or am still injured. I know it's hard to tell with out posting up videos so once I get it healthy enough to put some heavy weight on the bar I will post up vids. For now anyone have similar issues or want to take some what could be guesses .
