I had 30 minute sports massage after training today. Focused on my hip flexors and low back (SI to be specific). Apparently I have extremely tight hips which is why I still get very tight SI from time to time which has to be relieved by rolling my glutes with a lacrosse ball as well as my hip flexor issues I've been getting. Need to keep on doing hip flexor stretches and piriformis stretches. Was told to not do any lower body movements for 48 hours so, will skip light deadlifts tomorrow and focus on bench, overhead work and back movements.

This is hilarious haha. Was this the incredibly random but well rehearsed little speech you blurted out to me before you did your set?

Thanks man appreciate the kind words, yeah that's the plan!

They all are good bars but most comps use Eleiko as I assume they're superior based on the price.

EDIT: Out of those bars, only the Ivanko and Eleiko bars are IPF approved.
