My Quest to be a Class II Lifter

Great work! Sucks your hip is acting up again! What kind of shoes do you wear? Any chance of post a vid of your squat form? Take it easy and heal up!!!

The hip pain is arthritis, right hip joint and lower back. the lower back hurts most of the time, but is manageable. USUALLY the hip pain is also, meaning I can still squat pretty decent, and it hurts later, but last night....just hurt too much while actually doing them.

Wow - thanks for sharing. I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back. I am not sure of the details, as I have to wait until April for my appt. with a sports medicine doctor. My family doc thought I should see him for more details and for treatment. I am not sure how it will affect my lifting but now I imagine it will be something similar to what you are going thru.

I am also very impressed you have managed to get to where you are today despite less than ideal lifting equipment. Good for you.
