Thanks for the info.

It is going to be weird to not “lift” for a month. But honestly I need it, I have some chronic pain right now. [/quote]

It took me about 2 months of mobility work to open my hips to squat deep using his drills. Hope the focus on mobility helps clear up those nagging pains. Your strength will still be there when youre ready.

The past few years of working on Oly lifts has opened up my hips where I can comfortably deep squat now.

Now my big problem is hamstrings I believe that due to that immobility it is not helping my lower back. Plus my back just does better the lighter I am now, sucks but it is what it is.

When I slow down and start looking at my flexibility and form I have a lot of work to do. I am working on changing my mindset of getting a lift at all costs. I have to many injuries and I am tired of joint pain. So again this month refocus on losing weight (down 10 lbs since Sunday) and flexibility. Stay the course.

No work out today, down 12 pounds since weighing Monday morning. Getting easier mentally and energy levels staying decent.
