    I do recall seeing most of those, but will go back and review them again. I am looking up and down stream, but perhaps not in the correct areas for the most change. Let me take a look at these and I’ll let you know how it relates to what I’m currently doing. Perhaps then we’ll be able to determine if its actually effective!

    Yes its been this way for almost a year now. Granted, I’m much better off now than I was 10 months ago, but still not what I’d call “recovered” or “healed”. I’ve put a lot of emphasis on fixing squat form and things of the like, but still find I need a great deal of work before I can actually perform a squat the right way. Some days better than others. Some days I can get by with very little work needed, and others its as if my adductors are steel cables.

    Do you suppose I just need to give it more time, and continue to attack it, or change my approach?

    the epsom salt baths have been quite beneficial so far.  I still get stiff in the morning, but it works itself out rather quickly.  I have been turning a little more attention to the IT band and the tissue of the quads and around the knees.  It has helped me out a lot.  Foam rolling the quads has been a great addition.  The recent Daily Rx with the knee tack and floss highlighted some incredibly stiff tissues in the right leg.  

    Will continue with all this great work.  thanks again for all the advice!  I’ll be as good as new eventually!

    Thanks for the reply!  I find myself having similar symptoms to the one you mentioned, but I think the only difference is that when I squat anything over 200 lbs, I can feel the right psoas swell like balloon.  Fish oil isn’t something I’ve considered yet, but it sounds like a great idea.  I’ve also thought about getting some epsom salts and sitting in the jacuzzi tub for a while.  

    I will definitely start foam rolling the quads, like you mentioned.  I have noticed that when I do the barbell smashing on the inner and anterior thigh/quad area, I feel great afterwards (until I go to bed and wake up!)  I think hitting the quads more often with less intensity might be a good idea.  Thanks for that insight!
    For the past week, I’ve started to go a lot lighter on the mob stuff pre-workout, and only hit the rough areas for a minute or two to get loose, but not try to make any drastic change right before I work out.  I will do you what you suggest and try doing some post-workout.  This is something I haven’t tried, but sounds like it may be beneficial.
    I have noticed that my IT bands are a little tight – definitely not to the point where I think there may be an injury, but they do seem like they are impinging some motion.  Do you know of any MWODs that help the IT band?  I dont’ think I’ve come across any yet.
