We’re both having hamstring issues. I’ve been icing mine a bit. It has helped with the nagging soreness, but now it feels a little bit tighter. I’m guessing that’s just a reaction against the cold. I’ll whack on some cups later tonight and see how it feels in the morning…
My hammie issues, started from hard physical labour… Digging the back yard, leveling it for a Pool. Now have to dig holes for fence.
This tightens up the spinal muscles, and is really tightening my up all over. Lots of therapy.
So, i was tight, and when running down a steep 2m section of grass on a diagonal, hips went out, and hammie followed…
Therapy has gone up a lot, but still need more.
I’m backing off the volume of digging - but it’s close to being finished.
Hopefully, the “cupping” set i ordered arrives soon via post. Can’t wait to give it a go!
Monday
circuit
run/mediball/bike/burpee/rowing/push ups - repeat for 30min

18;35
18;34

Really felt the last two in the hammies (fantastic)
Squats - 3 sets of 20
Push ups, chin ups and abs/stretching
gardening can be good core work, and lawnmowing is a great warm up…
Pool is getting closer to finished, maybe another 2weeks (time permitting)
Thurs
I forgot how crap really fast stuff effects you - CNS is smashed, leading to depression, lack of energy and a big case of Couldn’tbestuffed
30min of basic cardio - run, bike, row
Fri
Still suffering from CNS depletion
A.m. - 50min of cardio
P.m. - 30min of cardio
Sat - Still suffering from CNS depletion
Finally got ahold of some L-tyrosine - Started feeling better by days end.
Sun
50min of cardio
Included Burpee challenge - New PB - 13min flat (this time last year = 14:10)
Monday
Wanted to go for a run - but very tight all over. Had a solid session of the Cupping therapy. 90% of the tightness removed - just a tight area in the left hammie, very deep.
First impressions??
Pretty good - I like.
As with most things - the value lies in the user.
A mate - didn’t notice anything (he lives in Melbourne, somebody else used it on him)
I have used it with 4 other clients, and myself.
I like that it’s not very painful at all. You can see the good muscle and the poorer muscles almost instantly, eg, good muscles and the cup goes red super quick, tighter and more issues = skin color for some time…
It’s not a be all and end all - It’s just another tool, that if used well, works a treat.
Tue
day off
Wed
All up, 70min session + weights
4 x 300’s with 10min recovery’s
Track (more of a paddock with basically 90deg turns and a slow downhill steep section) - One would have to be around 2 sec slower on this than tartan, easy.
1 - 41sec
2 - 40sec
3 - 40sec
4 - Was on target for a 38 (that’s what the guy ran who i was catching “handicapt run off 230m”) when 50m to go, on a tight corner and bad grass, the hammies tightened right up, so i slowed instantly before they got hurt.
Thurs a.m.
Very tight hammies and glutes = foamrolling
I’ll do some cardio this arvo
that’s funny, I’ve found the opposite. tight muscles go purple, healthy muscles stay pink.
I agree that it’s not a cure all, but it seems to get pretty good results when other methods fail. for me it has proved to be extremely effective, so perhaps there’s something about my body that responds well. I often find that I react negatively to massage. if it’s anything more than very gentle I end up worse than when I started…
