OK so I saw my physio, he;s the guy who sorted my bad elbow and forearm years ago.
He worked on my lower back and commented on how stiff it was and said it felt like it hadn't moved properly in years. He also said my glute medius felt very weak.
He gave me 3 exercises. A hip flexor stretch where you assume a hammy stretch like stance and tilt your pelvis up like you're trying to pee over a fence, a glute stretch where you lie on your back, cross one leg over the other and grab the ankle and pull towards you with one hand and guide the knee with the other. And last another glute one, stand both feet on a resistence band, cross the band over and move one leg at a time out to the side, this really burns my glutes.
I'm supposed to do that 3x daily, but since Friday have only managed it a few times as I've been so busy - bought the band to work today to make sure I do it.
Friday Gym was a 2 setter welcome back session, my legs really felt it despite only doing empty bar squats and deads and lunges with 6 or so KG per dumbbell. Got through 2 sets of everything at the previous weights.
Spent hours on the shed this weekend and ended up sealing the concrete which was like 5-6hrs of painting action, back is really sore today.
Physio again on Friday.
Feel so old and sore lol.
