Have continued to not do rehab ... not sure how bad this is. The ITB doesn't hurt but it feels funny and I expect that if I tried to squat with any weight it would hurt.

press
3.5.115 (WR?) pretty hard

weighted chins
5.5.25 not super hard. did 5x5 to get a little more volume in. ate a ton of meat afterwards and drank beers. feeling awesome.

Throat hurts like a bitch, hope I'm not getting sick.

Rehab. Not sure this is helping at all. No pain most of the time but every so often I'll try an air squat and I can feel a twinge in the ITB. It is time for me to see a trainer? How do I ensure I don't get a quack?

Turning on a humidifier fixed this btw.

how much are you rolling it?

Admittedly, not very often. Probably 2-3 times / week.

Wanted to do 5x5 press this morning
3x5 105, pulled something in my shoulder / back / neck area and called it a day. Will probably start doing rehab / rolling every day now and see if it helps my ITB.

Holy hell the injury from lifting today has progressed to the point I can barely turn my head. This should make going out tonight interesting.

I've had that happen to me a lot. Its annoying as hell and makes things like driving hard.

Most recently, it was a capsule joint or something like that. Something like the spot in my back where one of the ribs connects got out of whack, and it pinched a nerve. My chiro fixed it with a combo of spinal adjustments, ART and acupuncture. He allowed me to DL later the same day after he treated it and I pulled a PR x 2. DLing actually made it feel good.

If you do have the same thing I had, keep your shoulders down when you pull stuff. Dont shrug your shoulders while pulling. If you did what I did, this is probably what caused it to happen. Think about the stuff you did that could have caused it & see if that makes sense.

The ITB is likely to improve with rolling.

The shoulder thing happened while I was pressing, not pulling. It doesn't feel serious and I think I'll be back to normal in a few days.
