rawlifter | Piriformis sufferers? | 17-01-2018 @ 23:15 | |
Member 5584, 304 posts SQ 225, BP 157.5, DL 260642.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Long story short Deadlifts have been painfull for a while now....basically my glutes/arse hurt when performing them - even on light weights. ive been ignoring it and pushing through regardless but the heavier it gets the more uncomfortable - hard to describe the pain - not a sharp pain but discomfort in the glutes and the exercise is completely unenjoyable Im guessing this is the dreaded piriformis So any advice on how to get rid of it? pushing through it is not working I have looked up the piriformis stretch - did it work for you? how often? anything else? | ||

You can do it either seated or standing while "leaning" against something like a bench. | ||
