LOL, ONe of the small muscles that goes from the hip, down into the quad area.
Tre could prolly describe it better

Tensor Fascia Latae Not a coffee drink...
It's part of your ITB (Iliotibial band) that runs along the side of your leg. If you place your hand in your pocket before sliding it all the way in, your hand will be resting right on your TFL. Connects from the top of the pelvic crest down to the greater trochanter. Different things can irritate this muscle. People that have change in their pocket etc.. can set TP's off in it.

As far as benching and it being affected Are you tightening your legs and pressing your feet hard into the floor? Or are you a sissy with your feet planted on the bench as you lift?

It's a hip abductor and flexor. So either you are rotating your hip to the side as you heave the weight up and maybe simuletaneously flexing your legs to get the weight up. Watch your form. It's for the chest not your legs LOL
Pretty soon you'll be running around naked and shooting guns with your form

I seriously LMFAO at that
Well, I did squats earlier. The way I lay on the bench, my knees don't quite reach the end, so my legs are to the sides a bit, feet planted on the floor. I may have been tensing my whole body, 'cause this happened on the last set, so I was pretty tired.
I also read in Starting Strength today, that by squatting, & not having your knees in the proper position, you can strain your TFL. I may have strained it a tiny bit (didn't actually feel anything while squatting), then the clenching while benching may have tweaked it. It's OK today.

Today I hit the gym for some cardio, nice & easy. Legs are tired, felt like lead today.
50 minutes Crosstrainer. started out at 3.0 mph, rose to 6.5 for the majority. The last 10 minutes before cool down I went to 8.0. Resistance at 7 throughout. Esta machina said I did 710 cals.

What kind of cardio? tee hee

 

[SgtSlaughter]

just a little ideer:

you're top sets are all hitting the 10 effort...

maybe ditch the curls and fluff for now and save the energy... hopefully squeek out a few more weeks.

Tennis elbow sucks... i used to get it in my left elbow... haven't had it flare up in a long time. not sure what exactly triggers it.
