hell yeah! DE squat woke up this morning and back pain i'd been feeling the last few days was gone. no more pinched nerve old single ply suit, no straps box 1-2"below // 55+130lb chains x a few 150+130lb chains x2 240+130lb chains 2x2 290+130lb chains 6x2 340+130lb chains x1 390+130lb chains x1 felt kinda weak today from the layoff but speed seemed ok. good sign ham curls green band 3x15 kneeling pull down abs 100lb+purple band 4x15-20 OUCH already sore from that inner/outer poon machines VIDEO www.youtube.com/v/uJmSvEj7G74song: robert randolph and the family band - ain't nothin wrong with that lesson: lower hamstrings are activated a lot more than i ever really noticed before in the squat

extra workout did a lil coaching today which is always fun and decided to hop in on a few sets. super wide stance gm's (a fav movement) 150m1x10 200x8 speed pulls - conventional 280+130lbs of chain 6x1 did a crap load of foam roller work on my lower & mid back along with my lats too. its amazing how that thing helps recovery atleast in my case. song: sixx am - life is beautiful www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDDxHIaaVklesson foam roller is the poop diggity and speed pulls are great for bloodflow

update
alright, haven't been training like i've wanted to lately due to finishing up this semester and actually putting school before lifting for once. thats paid off because i cant remember this last time i made an A in anything besides advanced weight training in high school and i've got a few of them this semester so i'm happy! now that the semester is over and most of my nagging injuries are feeling a lot better from the extended un-load, i can get back to overtraining like normal!

Watch that overtraining shit buddy! Hey man, got a question. I think I'll have to bring my stance in a good bit when pulling sumo for this meet coming up. Will I need to do anything different because of the stance change? My hip is a lot better BUT It still hurts to get out wide like I used to. I may ultimatly have to go back to conventional but right now it's so far behind I'm thinking of taking my chances with the closer stance. I just wanted to get your 2 cents. Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance i think my brain just blew a fuse trying to figure out why you're asking me for advice . my first thought was to tell you to spread your knees hard but that would probably fix nothing if your hips hurting. my only thought is to train conventional til the meet then either roll with a close sumo or full sumo depending on how it feels. is it an inner hip problem or a muscle? i'd look into jim whatshisname that does jumpstretch band stuff on elite. he's got a few things on there about rehabbing hips i think.

bench ass fun day warm up- OL squats, good mornings, shoulder mobility work, TEE's total elbow exercise, same as TKE with purple band. hammer high row plate and quarter+ choked green band 4x 8-10 *awesomeness* military/push press 45+60lb chain 3x10 100+60lb chain 3x6 120+60lb chain x6 140+60lb chain x6 160+60lb chain x5 hammer dip machine 3x20 ouch good and bad band tri extensions 3x30ish had cramps because of this later, MASSIVE POMP db rows (each arm) 60x2 on 2nd rep a 25lb plate flew off and the corner of it hit my big toe knuckle right in between the joint. the odds of that are crazy but it happened. just glad it wasn't the moose knuckle.... 110x15 130x12 160 2x10 used straps fun workout! lots of energy for once and i'm very sure i'll be sore tomorrow. song: slayer - disciple (probably for the 15th time but i love this freakin song!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8db-DRxVKJc if you don't bang your head to this you need to check your fucking pulse lesson: bands are the greatest thing in the world for muscle tension and bloodflow

Sorry about the fuse thing...your a very knowledgeble lifter that just does too much . Just kidding but not really...anyway I kinda had the same plan in mind. I think I'd be better off training conventional till the day of and saving myself then ibuprofen up and go full sumo for that day and let it be what it is. I keep saying hip but I really think it's the IT band and its just REALLY tight and I feel the pain on both ends (at the hip & knee). Dick Hartzel had some good stretches with bands for it that I've been doing and using my foam roller so hopefully I'll be ok. Thanks again for the help!

thanks marty
update:
used foam roller the two days after squats for 15 minutes a piece and soreness has gone away completely from my upper and lower back. the soreness on the squat day was ridiculous and made it very painful to get under the bar period especially in the earlier sets and after 2 days of foam roller work its completely gone, probably cut my recovery time down by a day or two. gotta keep using this thing.
