This movie was so underrated.

Sounds like you need a rest.
I think with some smart programming you could still train for performance, but you just need to be realistic, patient and most importantly smart about it.
Im in my 30’s now and I think things like having 2 complete rest days a week and not doing two-a-day sessions has made a a difference.

Modified Handstand Push-ups
10, 6, 10
I hook my feet over the bar in the squat rack to decrease my weight and help me balance.

Push-ups

Inverted Row

I had some mixed nuts pre-workout and about puked after this. I felt awful! It was an impromptu session and it would seem that mixed nuts and being upside down are not the keys to a stellar workout.

Reinspired by @littlesleeper I downloaded a yoga app and just did a 10 min general practice session followed by a 10 min hip opening practice session.
Nothing like struggling to sit with good posture when you’re supposed to be relaxed!

@lil.greggy was doing it a while back too. I bet @BOTSLAYER could benefit from some 10 minute sessions as well since he has a rehab day already. 
It’s the evolution of T-Nation! THE WORLD’S MOST HARD CORE YOGA SITE!

I love Yoga…buuuut it is harder than any squat, deadlift or bench I have ever done hahaha
I would do it more often but my gym does it in a closed basement and burns incense the whole time so I dont go.

Its expensive but was fun. .

I kind of reminisce on days when I was all flowy and flexible and could do stuff like Kapotasana and Firefly poses. I’m lucky if I can do warrior poses without falling over.

Acquiring it now.
I didn’t realize that it was under appreciated. I follow The Rock and he was always promoting it and praising the girl who played Moana. I just assumed it was at the top.

Woke at 223. I was 225 yesterday and 223 the day before. Why does this matter? Because I’m not tracking my food! I usually fall apart when I don’t track but it’s nice being free from the compulsion.
I haven’t worked out since my leisurely bike ride Wednesday. I worked 12 hours Thursday and 15 yesterday with a 3 hr break before my night gig. I got paid $40/hr to watch baseball last night

Woke at 221.2 lbs. Still not tracking my food but I’m eating the same as usual.
I haven’t trained much lately but as I type this I’m considering going to the basement to do some body weight stuff.
I have an appointment for ACUPUNCTURE today! I’m excited. My Dr. said she had some chronic pain for awhile. It got so bad she had an ovary removed and the pain continued. Out of desperation she tried acupuncture. She said she actually felt her psoas release and the pain stopped (during the session). My illiopsoas is tight. My QL is tight. And my glute medius is tight (to name a few). I can’t fix this by passively stretching and no one else seems to have an answer. I’m excited and optimistic!

Good luck man, be sure to report back.
I’ve had acupuncture done years ago for my knee, and my Mom went through many sessions of it in an attempt to relieve her migraines. Neither of us saw any real benefit from it, but I’ve heard about people who have. So, fingers crossed!
I’ll let you jab a knife into my QL if it’ll force that sucker to relax! I’m ready for some progress and relief.
If this doesn’t fix the problem then it’s back to the medical professionals. I’ll get an MRI and possibly get my name on the list for a hip specialist (who has a 60 day waiting list).

Tabata Squats
4 rounds of 20 sec on and 10 sec off with the bar

Squats were both difficult (due to being out of shape) and painful for my hip. I can’t even squat the bar pain free…
