overtraining leading to muscle pulls? HELP!
i've been training my legs very hard for a good year i'd say
about 4 months ago, i partially tore my right hamstring playing soccer. it was tough, but after two weeks i was back working out my legs. unfortunately this led to me getting tight hamstrings, which messed up my lowerback, hip flexors and other hamstring, so yes 2 months after my right hamstring incident, while playing rugby i pulled the other one. so i i went to see a specialist. finally in august, both hamstrings are better and i'm slowly gettng to point where i can touch my toes while stretching. but now.... a new problem...
my upper, inner back of the thigh, i think its my adductor/gracilius, in both legs are hurting. and i can't find a way to stretch them, i've tried everything, the only thing that comes remotely close to stretching them is pulling my thigh to my chest.
so finally my question is, could overtraining be leading to the new probelm...
my leg routine during soccer season and rugby season and now in the offseason has been.
6 sets squats (after the pulls for two weeks i switched to leg press)
4 sets lunges (i think these are what are hurting my inner thighs)
4 sets ham curls
gimme advice, or anyhting that may help... i need to get back on the field, and i need to be able to sprint again.....
