Re: The Mastodon Returns
Fellow hip pain sufferer here, it's very demotivating. Good luck.

Re: The Mastodon Returns
Missed logging sessions from the site shutdown, but we're back! I edited my first post, tore my hip/quad (and orthos are useless).
Just feeling this higher volume low rest style out and rehabbing for now.

Re: The Mastodon Returns
Looks like I can do light leg presses (loaded juuuuust to the point of discomfort) and full weight leg extensions. I'm guessing it's because the movements aren't asking for both hip and knee extension simultaneously. Appears I can do one at a time but not both with a load.

Leg press: 5(305x15)
Leg curl: 4(90x15)
Unilateral leg extensions: 4(90x15)
Calf press: 5(125x20)
I'll add other things in as my hip/quad heals up, like lunges.

Had to stop to watch the kids. Was easy, but I don't really know if I care about heavy deadlifts anymore since I'm not really "powerlifting".
