Hi Docs,
short background: I am 32, male, lifting since January, 186cm tall, 91 kg. After LP and Bridge, I am on Bridge 2.0 right now and started a cut 2 weeks ago with the start of the Bridge2.0 to loose belly fat. I am also Type I Diabetic since I am 15 years old.
Last week I started to have mild pain and pulling sensation in my left testicle. It went away for two days and came back, so I went to the Urologist. He couldnt diagnose anything by touching and using ultrasound. After presenting to him my workout routine he suggested that either the HIIT on the assault bike or bad form on squat / dealifts might have irritated sth that irritated my groin area. He claimed to have patients coming in with my symptoms from overdoing it on the assult bike in spinning classes. On some days I also feel very mild pain on the inner left thigh and my left hip and back, but that was only a couple times during the last days and is not bothering me right now actually.
I also have to say that I felt very weak the last two weeks and had to go down with the weights (~10-15% down) to stay within the RPE perscriptions and overshot them a couple of times.
I plan on being more strict with my form and avoid the bike for a while in case that was aggrevating it. I also felt my Squat stance was not symmetrical the last couple of times, maybe it could be related to that?
Did you encounter sth like that before and is there maybe sth else I could/should do?
Best,
Marcel
