Third session of the deload. So, after over two years of dealing with a hip/glute problem that has annoyed me to no end, I am finally scheduling an appointment with an orthopedist for Monday afternoon. I have been in a good bit of pain this week for seemingly no reason.

If I can make a recovery from whatever I have going on, I believe my powerlifting days will be behind me. I want to be able to climb mountains, lift without pain and live comfortably without pain. I am going to continue lifting hard, but I don't see the need to compromise long-term functioning. I want to be able to still be doing this when I'm 50.

Hip truthfully has me in agony. Having to really cut the depth on my leg presses. Leg training overall has been dismal due to my injury. Did GHRs to try to get some glute and lower back work in because of my lackluster legpress ROM. Hopefully getting an MRI and steroid shot this coming week. Surgery is definitely on the table.
