    Oh for sure. I had sort of forgotten it might be a thing and maybe didn't spend long enough on single leg work after the op. There had been a very big discrepancy so I should have spent longer working on it.

    Holy sh*t though...glute and quad DOMS until yesterday after starting back on them.

    Left glute was feeling a bit iffy - sharp discomfort like you might feel on the way to tearing something - and probably should have cut it sooner but left it at 3 WS.

    wouldn’t an MRI remove all the guesswork as to what’s wrong?

    He thinks it might be a strain which wouldn't necessarily show up and he's not a fan of x-rays or MRIs unless he's ruled out what he thinks is more likely.

    Was gonna go to the gym on Friday but went back playing football for the first time in 6 years. Felt unreal to be playing again. Mentally, didn't feel 100% confidence cutting off my left at speed but that will come.

    Was a little inconsistent with push path on DB bench and it cost me on set with 40s but 4 sets with 35s were better than before. Threw in shrugs between sets.

    Must bring the belt for a few weeks of weighted pull ups now.

    That's 30 sessions so far in 2025. Evening time is getting squeezed with football, the kids' sports etc. but making the most of lunch slots

    Whatever about training, how is day to day stuff with the hip?

    Oh, it's all good. Back playing a bit of football as well. When I sprint, sometimes it feels a bit like the small stabilisers in there need more work (MOAR CLAMS) and mentally, cutting back hard off my left foot, I'm not as quick but that's cos I'm only just back playing so need time to remember my hip is fine.

    But all the day to day stuff, its like it should be and it's like I never had a hip issue. But I do appreciate the fact that a lot of those day-to-day things were more...challenging. I used to have to stand and watch the kids play in the garden. Couldn't join in cos it was just going to make it pretty sore...and the baseline was a normalised level of sore.

    Back with the doc earlier...MRi being teed up for the back since the issue hasn't gone away. Was stiff for too long on Saturday after football Friday night so just wants to rule things out.

    Tried the new Flyefit here cos it's a shorter walk than the gym I use. Great selection of kit for legs. Will check it out for a bit.
    Only a couple of rowers that are out of bounds during some classes, which is shíte

    The new Flyefit being closer is handy for when I need to get a sesh in during lunchtime. More time to use. Place is verrrry quiet at lunch as well.
