Just an update. I got this book: The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies and started applying the trigger point stuff. It's worked really well however i was wondering if anyone also has any experience with chiropracters for situations such as mine. I was wondering if getting some safe...
Thanks for the quick reply Dave. So i should put pressure on the places that are tender on my hip? And does stretching the hip flexors and such help? I've found that after stretching them, it actually seems more painful/tender afterwards. It doesn't hurt during the movement though.
I get a really tight/strained type feel in my lower back that will turn into a sharp pain if i do a particular movement too much such as bending backwards too much or stuff like that. As i said i also seem to be getting a tingling feeling in my left glute mainly but spreading down my posterior...
I've already just got an MRI referral earlier this morning. It just depends whether i should get it. And in terms of physio is once a week really too infrequent to see benefits?
Ok so as you know i've been kept from lifting for nearing 3 months now thanks to my left leg injury. For the most part i'm pretty sure my adductor has healed and that it is no longer a muscle tear. However nearly a month ago i started having some left lower back which then spread to my glutes...
how about a decently built, burly dude overhead pressing a smoking hot chick? and then you can have the words ProRaw Powerlifting above them both or across the dude's chest or whatever. Doesn't have much to do with powerlifting but i'd think it'd be pretty cool

Old guys: pre-, during and post-workout nutrition
Had to google it to find out where Padstow is. Pity it's all the way out in the bankstown-canterbury area. A bit of a trek for me. Anyone with anything in the CBD or along the northern line (near epping)?
I have a persisting injury (tightness/pain) in my left thigh and i was told by a few of the guys that a good, painful massage will help. I have no experience with massage therapists and i don't want to have some quack or someone who may possibly make it worse. Anyone know any good massage...
Then why the heck are you calling it a carb loading phase. It's pretty easy to bulk. Just eat enough protein and eat more calories. Not exactly rocket science.
You don't a carb loading day unless you are on a low carb diet or keto or the such. Your diet seems to be neither so i don't see why you would need a carb loading day or carb cycling.
