![Training Week [W2:D1 ]](http://elitefts.com/cdn/shop/articles/21018347279_c81d601c73_b1-e1441591947261_8b24fd5e-73a4-4322-8c04-ac15e96ee176.jpg?v=1761797607&width=895)
So as it goes, I started my new training cycle in conjunction with entering Finals period. I'm guessing that the stress, coupled with traveling/sitting on plane for hours, has resulted in my Body revolting. My hips have been feeling off in such a way that it's painful (in that weird high hammy, low glute, groin area) to hip hinge and/or squat. While it IS getting better, I'm going to see my favorite Chiropractor ASAP. However, as a result we decided to cut this week to just 2 sessions, and basically stop lifting whenever things start to hurt. For now-- RPE = pain RPE, not weight.
The goal is longevity in this sport-- trying to get back to 100% asap.
