9/24/02 Something popped while doing deads...weird.
I read an article about deads in the 9/02 issues of powerlifting and it got me fired up. I think I should have warmed up a little more, all the weight I was using was sort of a warm up sets of 3 until you can not longer do 3 reps, etc... It felt so good I though I was going to pull some major weight.
I haven't really done deadlifts in about two years.
I just started another Westside basic training 9 week program, (A 9 week program takes me 12 weeks, lazy or too busy to do the workout, but the rest seems to be an added benefit.)
So far I have gotten great results, my bench has sky rocketed and my squat is moving along nicely. But my deadlift is under par.
Last night while in week 4 I decided to do deadlifts as my first ME exercise. I was doing sumo style deads, I never did theses before. They just felt right. I was doing great until about the 5 set, I went down grabbed the bar and stood up, then I went down and started going back up again and about 1/2 - 3/4 way up I left a weird pop in my right buttock, this sent what seemed to be an shudder down my entire leg. Needless to say I stopped and started to stretch the pain was bearable so I tried a few other exercises and discovered that I could not do them, so very disappointed I ended my ME workout. I did other exercises for the upper body and bitched to my wife the whole ride home. Today it is difficult walking and it hard to sit down at first. I think I pulled a muscle back there somewhere, has this ever happened to anyone?

I'm still having trouble, this morning I went to pick up a box and it happened again, it's weird. For example if you take a rubber band between your thumb and index finger, stretch it out, with your other hand make a fist and now run the rubber band over one or two of your knuckles. That's like the feeling I get when it pops, then some pain. Do you think it might be the hamstring or a tendon?
Today I went to the gym to do DE squat day, I did not even try to box squats. I did stray from the westside workout just because I felt I could not do most exercises today. I did however do some hack squats and that went ok. Then I tried leg press's, I can do as much as the machine will hold. But today 90lbs was painful.
What should I do?
