Seems I've Injuiried my self.

I progressed to 1-arm swings and although I felt good at the time, when I woke up the next morning I had a weird pain across my waist. It seems if I bend to the side I can feel a little pain in both sides.
I can still train, but it doesn't seem to be getting better and this is after a week. Im booked into see my Injury specialist tomorrow.

I'm going to take a week of the heavier KB work, but I still want to keep the habit of training S & S, so just wondering what I could do?

Maybe the normal warm up, Light KB Deadlifts, Shoe get ups and Stretches for a week and see how things go?

And help is appreciated. Cheers.
 
Let us know what your injury specialist says
any advice at this point - other than if it hurts don't do it - is inappropriate.
Especially since you are seeing your specialist tomorrow

Once cleared I would recommend seeing an SFG to get your form checked etc...
 
IMHO, don't do anything until you see your injury specialist.

Take the lightest KB you have (for demonstration purposes) and a written list of KB exercises you want/can do, and work with your specialist on a rehab plan once they diagnose your injury.

It will help them with the diagnosis if they can see exactly what you were doing when you injured yourself.
 
Consider taking a look at an Anatomy & Physiology image to help familiarize yourself with what your provider is going to recommend.

As an aside, what is the base for an "injury specialist?" Are they a Physical Therapist, Orthopedic Doctor, Osteopathic Doctor, Chiropractor, Sports Medicine Doctor, etc? I ask only to understand the term, in context.

All the best as you unpack this dilemma. Hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

Will she is an Osteopath, who works with lots of Grappling/MMA athletes, which I train in.

Thanks for the reply. Cheers.
 
I hurt my wrist by doing some overhead squats with weight on the bar after not having my wrists in that position in well over a year. After a few weeks I went to my sports medicine doctor who quickly diagnosed it, gave me a course of treatment, and told me to come back for a cortisone shot after another few weeks if it was ineffective. I got the shot.

There are a lot of things in the wrist that can get tweaked, and I think most of them are fairly common. Good idea on going in to see someone.

Diagnosis?

Prognosis?

How ya doin'?
 
It seems it was a strain, have took just over a week of the S&S Program, I have been able to continue with my BJJ.

I am just about to do my first S&S session back, so will take it easy, and see how it goes!

Thanks for checking in fellas!
 
@Cr3do do you do the 90:90 stretch and the straddle QL stretch, as explained in S&S?

I didn't at first.

But after four weeks, when I did the 90/90 and QL stretch, the fire in my glutes went away and my TGU got a bit easier.

Simple and Sinister is a program.

Add to it or take away from it; it's no longer Simple and Sinister. It's something else.

It works..

When used as directed.

Good to hear.

Take it easy.

Go slow, and keep going

Hey Pavel,
Yes I do the stretches, I do the programs exactly as in the book. How come you ask?

I think I hurt my side/waist by jumping into 1-arm swings to quickly. I will stick to 2-arm
Swings for s couple of weeks more, the slow introduce 1arm again.
 
As someone stuck doing 2HS exclusively for awhile I would advise you to get an FMS and look
for a rotational stability issue which will likely show up in one of 3 of the 7 screen patterns.
 
Injury - trying to fix tennis elbow on my right arm. A combination of direct help for
the elbow and correctives for missing stability on my left side. So far, so good.
Once I'm up to a full 10 sets of 2HS again, and the physio assess my left side stability
I will start slowly adding back in 1HS and see what happens.
 
Benedictine Monk , I too had golfers and tennis elbow from early ROP, with pullups. All that volume was hard on me as a starting program.
Have you tried the Thera-band® FlexBar® ? I felt improvement literally from the first set using them.

This is a good video--I did not personally use "The Stick", however.


Hope yours clears up soom.
