AGILE 8

My hip/low back (right side) felt marginally better than last week. It all seemed to tighten up after the second round of Agile 8. The tightness and pain seems to be "converging" to my hip. Last week I could distinguish the pain in my back from the pain in my hip. Now, though, it seems like the pain in my low back has "moved" over.

RECOVERY

Back was tight this morning. This afternoon I had a friend (probably 110 lbs.) walk on my butt to see if I could get my piriformis to loosen up. Worked for awhile I think. This evening I did the Agile 8 and spent some good time foam rolling etc.

Not as much pain on the right side of my low back, but quite a bit more tightness. Hip started to tighten up a bit during the walk. Started getting some pain and tightness on the front and side of my right hip on the second to last set of deads. All of this continued throughout the session. Most of the pain is gone now. I'll see what tomorrow brings.
