I have made a vow to take 7 days of rest. I will resume CF next Thursday at Track Night.
I have isolated my discomfort to the psoas majora muscle. I will ice and roll daily. I will probably do a couple epsom salt soaks as well. I pray I heal quickly so I can resume my Strength Bias program.
I bid Adieu!

Encima de la Cabeza
Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
5 reps:
PVC Pipe-Weighted PVC Pipe-15#-20#-35#
1 rep:
40#s
I arrived at the box at 4:45pm and immediately got down to hip/glute mobility wods. After 30 mins of stretching and massaging my left nalga, I decided to do some OH squats. I started with the pvc pipe, 5 reps felt great. Onto the weighted pvc; that felt great as well. With the blessing of G, I went onto do 5 reps with the 15# bar. My hip felt all nice and "greased" up. I did notice that my shoulders and back did feel tight, but not a big deal since the weight was so light. Onto 20#s, and it still wasn't a challenge. My confidence was raised.
At 35#s, I definitely started to feel a tingling in my back, but I immediately thought it had to do with my mid-section not being stable. The last 2 reps I took a large breath in and really "braced" myself, and those reps definitely felt more solid, with no tweaky feeling in the back.
At 40#s, I jerked the weight overhead and the bar felt really heavy for some reason. I took a deep breath and slowly lowered; I dont think I got low enough cause I didn't feel that solid at the bottom so I came up prematurely. I dumped the bar. I picked it up to clean and rack it AND that when I felt it: the little shock of electricity that shot from the bottom of my tail bone and up my back. It small shock, but a shock none-the-less.
So, my body said, NO, I'm not ready. I put away my weights and bar and went back to the foam roller. In the short amount of time of doing the low weighted OH squats, my back managed to completely tighten and knot up. It was as if the first 30 minutes I spend doing myofascial release didn't happen. It was painful to roll out.
I didn't have time to ice at that point, but I do plan to ice my hip/glute/back when I get home tonight and soak in epsom salts. I can't wait!

I don't think you're ready for this jelly
I went into the box to just do a combination of Mobility WODs. I rolled and pulled and pushed and contracted and flexed my hip/glute until it was hot and pliable. I got blood to the area to hopefully expedite healing. My left butt check is bruised and tender this morning from all the myofascial release.
I will probably continue to do more MobWODs for the rest of the week, then back into to WODs at low intensity/weight at first.
Heal. Heal. Heal. Heal.
