Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Snapping hip syndrome?

« on: September 05, 2017, 05:58:25 am »

to make the pigeon stretch gentler, you can use the arm of a couch or some other high platform. position the folded leg on it in the same way and move around on the plant leg to find a position where you're stretching the hip without bothering your knee. even using a big pillow under the folded leg can help.

about a month, yeah. since i went back to ultimate for the first time, more or less. no permanent improvement since. it gets better or worse -- today is a better day fwiw.

today

- hike x ~8km
4km straight up, 4km straight down (in the rain). climbed a big hill (peak 2830m/9300 feet) near a cabin where i was staying with some friends 2-3 hours north of islamabad. beautiful. got caught in a thundercloud for a bit, which was a little stressful but cool. no lightning but loud thunder and very low visibility.

^Just for the record, because it doesn't show the description in the embedded video, this is 220kg ( 485 lbs ) and his current category is -77kg. So even if he is around 85 now it is still 2.5*BW.

morning

- massage and acupuncture for shoulder and neck x 1 hour
saw a TCM doctor here about my shoulder. he worked on it and told me to take calcium and magnesium and not exercise with it for two weeks. he also said my cervical spine is bad and really worked my neck. sore now. he asked me to get it x-rayed. been meaning to get an MRI of the ol' kidneys for months now anyway so maybe i'll do that soon.

shoulder feels no better now, fwiw.

evening

- warm up

- pirouettes x 10 mins

- scales x 10 mins

- stretch

listened to the doc for at least one day and did no shoulder work.

learning a pistol squat might be next. i can bang them out in squatting shoes but have never been able to do one barefoot on the flat ground. that's a good skill.

I've always struggled with these 3 exercises: Pistols, SL deadlift, and bulgarian split squat feet elevated.

Not sure how i so easily was able to full squat but never was able to do those 3

yeah i've been coming around to the idea that balance is a completely neglected and underrated skill, worth developing. i'm moving back toward the GMB bandwagon, check this article out: https://gmb.io/scales/?utm_campaign=Scales+%28JzzSye%29&utm_medium=email&_ke=bHVrZWJvc3RpYW5AZ21haWwuY29t&utm_source=Inactive+Re-Engagement

re: getting up earlier, last night at 10:30 my gf was just like, let's go to bed. we're usually up much later. we didn't even go right to sleep, but turning the lights out that early just shifted everything. i woke up before 7, almost an hour before my alarm. lollygagged in bed for a while, but that is a good sign.

also motivation to train is starting to come back. been excited about trying some things today for the first time in a while. need to do a little something, at least, every day. every day. every day.

gf is a yoga instructor as i've mentioned. yesterday she started sending me pics of partner acro yoga that we could do together. this stuff is nerdy but kind of cool. could be a fun thing to add to the mix.
