If you can't squat rn because of injury I'd just do the leg press until you feel well enough to squat again. | |||

Kaiz you need to do some mobility tests find out where your problems are. Check for a hip impingement that shit can cause all types of nasty problem like the ones your refering too. | |||

Why does my left shoulder hurt more than my right (right doesn’t hurt at all) when I bench heavy weight? It even happens when I do dumbbell overhead press! SAD!

Literally everyone has imbalances like this, and they're hardly ever as bad as people think they are. Something isn't a problem just because it seems like it should be. If a person is able to squat without the pain becoming unbearable they should generally keep squatting. If the pain after squatting is unreasonable, they should lower the weight down to a point where it doesn't cause as much pain and slowly work up the muscles again as the body heals (as bodies tend to do- things hurt less over time if you keep training). If they still can't squat without a lot of pain even with the weight super low, they should reduce the range of motion by doing high box squats or leg press or something. And if they're still hurting at that point, it's time to get a legitimate physical therapist to address the issue. General rule of thumb: do as much as possible as long as the pain doesn't affect your daily life. Some increase in pain is expected as the body heals, and should be accepted. If a medical professional tells you to "stop doing that if it hurts!" you should drop them and find a professional who knows how to help you recover and thrive in your exercise/sport. Injuries will happen. They're hardly ever catastrophic, or reason to stop training. If Kaiz is worried about his squat not going up, I'd be more interested in his current and previous programming, diet, sleep, etc. than in his long list of physiological issues as diagnosed by his chiro (muscle imbalance? really??). How much pain is he even in when he squats? He seemed to be more bothered by his lifts stagnating than he was the pain, prior to finding out about all these supposed issues. I bet he's in a lot more pain now that he's been told these scary things, like he has bulging disks. Nevermind all the people that have these physiological issues and report zero pain... | |||

Well I’ve managed to make my whole body sore this week. Ankles calves inner hip shoulders. Second run gave me bad delayed onset muscle soreness, so been resting, stretching, and figuring out how to injury other muscle groups the past few days.
Ankle was almost unbearable to walk on yesterday, which I believe is from my genious self landing on my heel from a 10-ft drop a couple years ago. Looked up some physical therapy exercises for strengthening ankle and gonna try to do those daily. Think I figured out what I like to do: waking / running for cardio. Shadow boxing for upper body. Dancing / yoga / vacuums for core. Squats / lunges / frog pumps / donkey kicks for lower body. Jab - cross - squat pretty fun workout. I don’t think I’m ever gonna get a gym membership, although I really would like some martial arts training, which would give me the figure I want, flexibility, and make me feel a little safer. | ||

The chiropractor didn't diagnose me with a muscle imbalance, it was something I had noticed on my own and was working on prior to the injury that's keeping me out of the gym at the moment, and also affecting my daily life (to the point where I can barely get socks on in the morning, but that's getting easier as recovery progresses.)
What they DID diagnose was 3 bulging disks, two of which back in proper position with the third being worked back in and making good progress on that. What they did recommend to help speed things along is sitting as little as possible since it inhibits healing and moving as much as possible, but avoiding lifting anything heavy at the moment, which I am doing. I even rearranged my EQ setup to be able to walk around as I play since otherwise that's hours on end of sitting. Though pink if you're curious as to what I regularly did for legs, the answer is back squats, barbell hip thrust, used to do lunges but they were hard on my knees so I switched to reverse lunges, calf raises and on my back days I do deadlifts, typically 2-3 days after leg day. | ||
