Unable to squat or deadlift properly at the moment due to pain.
Symptoms:
(1) Pain right at the top of the inside of my right leg (seems to be in the iliacus or pectineus) when lower deadlifts - worst when standing up after finishing a set.
(2) Pain at the top of my right glute (seems to be in the gluteus medius) when locking out squats
Likely causes:
(1) Poor glute activation, so small groin muscles trying to extend the hip
(2) Poor glute activation, tight piriformis
(3) Perhaps not using a belt anymore has shown up some weaknesses
Rehab:
Switch mobility drill to Defranco’s agile 8 - more groin and hamstring work
Actually do the mobility work every day
Save up for Cressey’s ‘Assess and Correct’
