I have an odd problem I've been trying to fix for years now and nothing seems to help, and I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced it or knows of someone who has, and so has any ideas on what I can do!
I seem to have tightness in my right side that doesn't budge. Hip flexor up through core/obliques, QL, chest, delt, neck, jaw - all right side. Right hand even. I get by training, never been injured seriously, train hard and have been active all my life. But never like an athlete or a lot of serious lifters who post here. So it is odd that I have such a weird problem - I'd expect to hear more athletes have a similar issue (who favour one side for example).
Anything I do - from doing nothing, to power-lifting style training, to Easy-strength style training, 6months chopping and lifting, walking, riding, etc. all seem to build their styles of strength on top of this existing tightness. My wonky hips (meaning asymmetric) and general tightness obviously limits my rep maxes.
Apart from getting struck by lightning and having a full CNS reset, I am a bit lost as to what to try now.
