Sore glutes, hamstrings and upper thighs after butt workout?
Some soreness after the workout is normal--you can expect some soreness if you are doing the exercises correctly and really working those muscles. Soreness that continues for a long time or does not ease up during your next workout may be a sign that something is wrong. Also any sort of sharp, stabbing pain may be a sign that something is wrong. You can generally tell the difference--sore muscles feel good if you massage them--hurt muscles don't like to be touched. During a workout, some mild pain from exertion is normal, but any sharp or persistent pain is not. Every other day sounds like a fine schedule--does the soreness ease up during the workout? If so, all should be fine.
Hamstring injury urgent!?
well goodness... i would start with some advil. it cant be that urgent if you can take the time to put it on yahoo answers... you just need to stretch more, before and after. also, you just got back into your regiment so that could be why. as for increased endurance, that is just time. every time you practice go a little harder a little longer pretty soon you wont feel that fatigue as badly. also, do a modified chair pose, take your left ankle and rest it on your right knee, like youre sitting in a chair with your leg chillin, then squat back and lean forward. this will stretch out your glute which could be partially what you are feeling. also, it sounds goofy and looks awkward but it helps, look up pigeon pose under yoga moves. this will stretch your glute and your hip flexor. http://yoga.about.com/od/yogaposes/a/pig...
Hamstring injury???????
i strained my hamstring 6 months ago and when i did i felt a pop and the pain was a 8 with activity and 6 with rest. i went to the er and they said that it was a severe grade 2 strain and i did PT for about 3 months in which the pain is about 93% gone. However, while sprinting i still feel a little pain and afterwards my leg feels terrible. The pain is in my upper hamstring and lower glute around where the tendons are its also in my adductors and even in my front groin and a little on the hip but mainly in the upper hammy. Im going to get an Mri in two weeks. I just want to know why is it taking so long to heal? And also do you think i had an avulsion or did i completely tear it to where it could require surgery? I have been running track for the past two months with good times and have been going to spring football practice and i can run well but people say im fast but i run with a slight limp. how can i still be performing at 95% if its an avulsion? if its not so serious how much longer do i have to wait and if i dont need surgery what are the treatment plans since i already did PT?
Why do your hamstrings hurt after doing squats?
Squats use both concentric and eccentric muscle control- which is what makes them such a good tool for patients rehabing from total knee injuries.Concentric muscle control means that you’re moving against gravity or against the load- in this case you’re activating the quad muscles when you raise yourself from the squatting position. Eccentrically lowering yourself to the floor using the hamstrings and glutes results in a slowed squat towards the ground.Your quads are hamstrings and glutes should feel well worked after squats. DOMS (delayed muscle onset) results in pain leftover after vigorous activity.Focus on quality vs quantity. Slow your squat down. Add additional weight if it is not challenging. Stay hydrated and allow rest between heavy activity times.
Quad pain from kicking?
so first we need to know which quad muscle. there are 4 of them. it could be anything. is it near the knee? near the top of the femur? near the outside or near the inside of the leg? You could have just pulled it from the repetitive motion of kicking. dont worry too much about it. if its near the knee get a brace. rest ice compression and elevation. stop all physical activity that makes it hurt especially kicking. See the dr just to make sure. And go to a massage therapist and tell them you need a neuromuscular routine and they will be able to help you. tell them exactly what happened. all a dr is going to do is put you on a bunch of painkillers and the muscle will heal with extra scar tissue and it will bother you probably for the next 5 years or so. medical massage therapists can help a lot. p.s. the person under me - lactic acid does not cause sore muscles like popular belief states. it is actually microtears in the muscles. so like i said, pain killers (including rubs) will not help the problem. it will help the pain. but it wont prevent the tissue frim becoming damaged and scarred resulting in years of highly damaged connective tissues.
Pulled my glute and/or have a pinched nerve. Happened while doing the splits cold?
It happened to me. Six weeks later and it's still not completely better :( I do have some advice though. First of all, take a hot shower. After the shower, massage your leg/butt or have someone massage it. Only stretch gently and occasionally. You are going to lose flexibility, it sucks but it's not the end of the world. You will be able to gain it back and it's not like your going to be a million times less flexible, just a little less. Be patient and don't get frustrated. You'll figure out what stretches hurt it and as soon as you start to feel the pain, back off a little. Better to stretch too little than to stretch too hard and injure it more. One day I got real frustrated and just stretched hard like i used to. That was a really bad idea because just as it was starting to get better I had made It worse again. So don't do that. Trust me it's a bad idea in the long run. If you realize the pain is no longer getting better, go see a doctor. They might recommend a physical therapist. It's a good idea to go see a doctor now, it can only help! There is hope though, just be patient. Mine is a lot better than it originally was. Just rest it and occasionally stretch gently. Hope this helps :) I hope you feel better soon!
Why do I only feel squats in my hamstrings?
For a back squat, which is what most people are referring to when they say “squat” and which I’ll assume you are referring to, the hamstrings are a primary muscle group so it’s natural that your hamstrings would get a lot of work, and that you’d “feel” their contraction/work while squatting. The “feel” is likely lactic acid buildup, which is a by-product of contraction and is responsible for the “burn” that builds up in muscles as you execute more and more reps during a set.However, there are two other primary muscle groups that you should also feel while doing proper back squats, glutes and hip adductors.For many people, particularly who sit a lot (a lot of us), glutes go to sleep, so it takes awhile to wake them up and you often have to consciously think about ensuring your glutes are contracting. Glutes help extend your hips, so from the bottom of the squat, as you are extending when standing back up, your glutes should be working.Hip adductors are often referred to as the “groin” muscle and they are the inner thigh muscles. There are two reasons you may not be working your hip adductors. The first is that you are not squatting low enough. When properly descending to or below parallel, the hip adductors are most active in helping reverse your downward momentum back up. So if you are not descending into a full squat (very common), you won’t be fully recruiting your hip adductors. The other reason you may not recruit this muscle group is if you allow your knees to cave inward (toward one another) when you begin ascending out of the bottom of the squat. Many people do this, particularly when squatting a near-maximal weight. What this does is put the legs in a position where the quads assume more of the work, and quads are usually a much stronger muscle, which is why people subconsciously do this. If you ever watch a person being coached by a competent trainer on squats, you may notice them reminding their trainee to keep their knees out while ascending. This is why. They won’t properly advance if they are allowing their quads to relieve the hip adductors of the necessary stimulus to grow stronger.The squat is a truly great exercise for muscle growth and strength development so make sure you’re doing full range of motion, proper squats, and have fun.
Why do I have pains in my thigh and my hip flexor, after doing squats?
Hey VedantAt the time, or afterwards?It’s very very hard to try and diagnose something like this off such a small amount of information.Check:Your squat form with an experienced lifter. This is your top priority.The flexibility of your hips and hamstrings (it seems counterintuitive, but tight hamstrings can show up in the hips/thighs).Try:Watch ‘So you think you can squat’ by EliteFTS on youtube. Watch the whole thing 3–4 times.Work on your hip and posterior chain flexibility.Ensure you are lifting with proper footwear.Warm up thoroughly - I need 7–8 sets of squats before I attempt a heavy set (start with the bar).Try some massage with a foam roller or (my favourite) a baseball.Strengthen your gluteus medius with some ‘clam’ exercises. If you can’t do 3x10 of these, it’s a problem.I’ve thrown a lot of stuff at you there. Most of that will help regardless.Last one:If you’re sitting down, especially in a badly-designed chair, for long periods, get up and walk around at least hourly.Good luck.
