I'm 41 man. Taking a day per week to do deep stretches keep me limber and pain free in my joints. I tried the sauna while on holiday a year back and I absolutely loved getting an early morning workout in and then doing a 20 minute sweat in the sauna before getting in the hotel pool. Everything just felt so much better after going from hot to cold. But I feel you. I was going full steam ahead during the lockdowns until golfer's elbow took me out for six months. I fixed that with clubs and finger extensions but it took me awhile before I came to that solution and my elbows stopped barking at me all the time. I learned to programme properly and just listen to when I needed to take a day or some conditioning work instead. You can't go hard all the time.
Hey man, this video randomly came on my feed and I’ve been dealing with the exact same injury and lack of feeling good about my workouts for about the same amount of time. It sucks but seeing this helped a bit because i know im not alone. I’ve completely stopped working out and i want to get back into the habit of being active and pushing myself again. My PT explained hip and ab therapy is just a long and slow road to recovery. It’s frustrating but that’s something I have to remind myself everyday day. We’ll both get back to feeling better about doing the thing we used to love! Keep up your mobility exercises!
Hey buddy…I’m 53, competition powerlifting for 30+ years. 750+ squats….try lifting one day a week for a little bit. What would you include in that? What’s most important? 4-5 movements. For one thing you will recover, you will look forward to that one big day. After awhile throw in a second day. As for the hip, look into spud inc gateway squat briefs. Not like powerlifting briefs, more like knee sleeves for the hips and groin.
Same thing happened to me at 34. I took a whole month off from lifting. I really dialed in my sleep and diet and would take a long walk each day with some push-ups. Then when I came back I did the super squats program. I'm 35 now and I've never felt better.
Idk shit about conjugate but I thought regarding injury & overuse issues it’s the path to be on Keep your head up bro you inspire me on days I’m not feeling it
do check your body for knots, my workouts have been hindered because i had a knotted scapula/neck/upper back i started rolling against the wall on a tennis ball, this helped greatly and i started to move like i used to just a thought
Have you ever just took time off the gym ? . It may help with the mental fatigue and help your body recover fully. I did for 2-3 weeks and worked on sleep. Now I feel so much better. And you aren’t old. Maybe banged up. Don’t feel bad I get it. I’m a 36 F. Love your content as always.
Hi! Physio with kind of same Abductor/Hip problem. Go with dry needling, with a certificate PT. Game changer. It will be very painful but will reward you.
I feel beat up on and off ever since i was 30 or so. How are your isometrics feeling? Planks and stuff like that? With a leg injury its common to not get exposed to as heavy loads and have it mess with your performance everywhere. Ive had to pivot to heavy bench work just to keep from feeling gross/weak. Hang in there! Video was pretty cool!
Try to find a good osteopathic doctor. they can do some hands-on medicine. Often they can address issues that at a chiropractor or a massage therapist can’t. Maybe check out an MRI too. That should give you some more definitive answers. Best of luck to you, keep Up the faith. Disclaimer, I’m a middle aged MMA guy and my wife is A DO…
Welcome to reality. 51yo been injured since I was 14. Mind over matter. Suck it up. Adapt. Evolve. You're still muscular. Ime not that easy, I still do every exercise with the intention of fixing something. Something always needs fixing. Imo

Thats a decent idea

Great to hear a positive story
@@TheStrengthClassroom You're not going to have the motor 20 somethings have. Dudes in our mid 30s are starting to develop old man strength.

Keep your head up bro you inspire me on days I’m not feeling it
This had nothing to do with conjugate training but I would agree with what you said
do check your body for knots, my workouts have been hindered because i had a knotted scapula/neck/upper back
i started rolling against the wall on a tennis ball, this helped greatly and i started to move like i used to
just a thought
Me Also. Tennis ball on the wall and heat loosend things up for me
Ill give it a shot

Lunging and single leg stuff are what bother it the most
