It took 12 years but it’s happened. I sprained my SI and have a slight possibility of a disc herniation. Everything around my sacrum already is pretty stiff due to the sacrilization (Sacrum fusing with L5), which carries over to poor hip and spinal mobility. X-rays show it maybe be a long recovery but things seem pretty simple in the meantime.

I have just recently started loading with weight again. Mostly I have been going to the chiropractor 3x a week for stretching, ‘adjusting’, and exercises. And only yesterday has pain actually started to subside, which is awesome news 🙂 As much as it sucks being out of the game for now, I’m in this for the long haul and longevity is key, so a couple months of rehab is nothing compared to career length.

Last nights first full lower body training:

trap bar deadlift (2 45’s ea. side) 4 x 6, 2 x 6 with band

hack squat 4 x 15

good mornings (bar) 4 x 15

leg press (only far enough to get glute contraction and not lift up lower lumbar) 4 x 15

planks 3 x 1min

abductor machine 3 x 50

lying single leg hamstring curl 3 x 15ea.  X  leg extensions 3 x 15

walking for 30 mins
