Thoughts? Also: I have further appointments, one coming up in a few weeks with a hip specialist (yea, it took this long to get this far with the NHS) but it's just frustrating not being able to train properly. I'm also wondering if anyone has any experience with DMSO or links to sites with advice on using it? I've seen it sold on strengthshop but there's not much discussion on how to use it. Thanks. | ||

I haven't squatted consistently (although I do seem to do random "tester" squats every few months - I'll go up to say 100-120kg and realise my hip is f**ked) since August and I haven't deadlifted since November... and nothing too impressive, best gym lifts were 165 squat and 200 deadlift (85kg bodyweight). I have however experiemented a bit with sumo stance deadlifts. I've also tried all the normal rehab things of ice, rolling the area on tennis balls and foam tubes, ibuprofen (+ gel), lots of stretching (can almost do the splits now!). This suit thing was just an idea I was throwing about in my head since I used to love squatting and deadlifting. | ||
