Sprained my groin from soccer last night :francis:

Got to the gym and leg day was like nope…gonna ice and massage the area and see if I can do a light leg day after work instead…

9:25 pm PST. Just wrapped up a light but good leg day. No squats or SLDL, swapped them out for Goblet squats and lunges. 3 for 3 this week.

Ice and my massage gun were very helpful for the groin sprain. I think by my next leg day I should be back to squatting my regular weights.

I forgot just how taxing 11v11 soccer can be on your lower body, especially if you’re not properly warmed up. Those quick sprints and changes of direction is likely what caused my sprain.

We move still. Something better than nothing and consistency is the name of the game.

8am PST, a decent upper day completed. 6.5/10.

Was still a little tired from my evening leg day yesterday so my lifts weren’t the best. Also woke up an hour as a result but I still got in my session before work.

We continue to move.

:francis:I need to take a break with (heavy) deadlifts. Did something wrong with heavy burpees/dumbbell snatch workout about a month back, feel it in my lower back. Pain went away but during/every heavy deadlift set it comes back.

I do a deload week every 4-6 weeks to give my CNS some time to recover. Heavy deads take so much out of you.
