So...

This log chronicles my efforts to rehab and regain functional strength and speed after being fucked up with a herniated disc for a little over a year.

I'm working with P-Funk.

Let's see how this turns out.

What do you mean by "tweaked"? Was that on the bulgarian split squat? If the stretch is becoming a pain, then divert to the one leg squat with tennis ball semi-support.

No it wasn't the squats specifically. I was walking to the pull-ups after the squats, and as I pushed off the toe on the right side I felt the pain. It's a weird feeling like it's going to give out completely if I keep the pressure on.

On the AIS stretch, are we using the bench, like the bench stretch we did on Saturday or the 1/2 kneeling stick stretch?

Posted by: P-funk

1/2 kneeling stick stretch.

Hey Rooster-
Hope you're on the mend!
Is this going to impact your going into the service?

Hopefully not in the long run. But I need to regain good mechanics in movement, I talked to the OCS office and they said I could defer my package until 2010 (October).

Thanks for looking out man.

That's great to hear that they will work with you!
We need good troops!
I gotta tell you....some of these 'Guard that are here...I don't really feel safe. I'd put my 17 year old, basic infantry training up against some of these clowns. I'm a non-combatant...can't be armed.
We were attacked here a few weeks back. I hear that some of the guys on the front gate DUCKED behind a barrier.
FOOK ME!!!! How do you repel an attack???
With concentrated superior firepower...
Goeaorgia Guard = fail
They need to go back to working at the piggly wiggly...
Luckily, we had a RANGER up in a guard tower and he killed the shit out the two tangos that were using ak-47's and an RPG.
But enough about my average Wednesday nights.....
Hope you are feeling better.

On the 2nd of October, the workout went well, but the nerve pain was a 6 on a 10 scale after the workout.

Pain while walking.

I think it may be a byproduct of the intensive targeting of the glutes.

Pain subsided after resting for a few hours. Felt good the next day.

Went hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park on Sunday.

Pain in right hip then aggrevation of knee pain. Area above right knee by the quad was inflamed. Did some massage on area above knee with tennis ball, as well as Hip flexor stretches.

Today feels good. Area above the knee is still sore.

I wish you had someone there that could do like 20min. of soft tissue work on you prior to lifting, just to get things moving and feeling good.
