10/30 - Squat/DL
Well, this session started off strong but turned out to be one I'd like to forget. To make a long story short, I jacked my hip up doing something dumb during the week's PT at the academy. I took some extra time warming my hip up for this workout and felt solid through warmups, but sumo deadlifts made it a little worse. Shocking right?
Sumo Deadlifts off 1.5" Mats 605 for 8 singles. All were smooth and relatively pain free except for my 8th and final single. Felt a sharp pain in the side of my hip right off the floor.
Close Stance SSB Low Box Squats 5x5 up to 535 lbs. I opted to do these so I could get through the workout but not aggravate my hip, which I was able to do. I normally do medium stance free squats with the cambered bar here.
SSB Suspended Good Mornings 3x10 up to 275 lbs on final set
Giant set of: Hammer Strength Single Leg Curls - 3x15 Pulldown Abs - 3x10 Hip Circle Clamshells - 3x15
Was it the smartest thing to plow through this session with the hip issue going on? Maybe...maybe not. Competitors live in a constant state of being banged up, and it's imperative to have the wherewithal to be able to train when hurt (NOT injured). Going into the workout, my hip felt just a little hurt, not injured, so I really don't regret getting after the workout. But I maaaaybe will opt to do some conventional deadlifts if my hip's aching before a Deadlift workout again.
