Hello Drs.
after 2 weeks off I seemed to have strained my right hamstring. After 5 sets of 3 reps of heavy
squats I warmed up for deadlifts. On third set of heavy 3s I felt a pain on concentric part
of deadlift before I got up to knees. I stopped the workout. Dr Baraki this seems like the same
injury u, dr feigenbaum, and coach tip were discussing years ago (2014) that u had.
i was hoping u guys had a good rx for hamstring strains at the ischial tuberosity?
this is the first injury I have had in this location. Thank u in advance.
This sounds much more acute than what I had, which is actually good news for you.
Keep moving around, don’t baby it, and find a load you can squat - even if the empty bar, or leg press if necessary, and work your way back up.
Ok thank u Dr.
should I deadlift as usual if pain doesn’t increase even though that is how I got injured or just squat for now?
Yes, I would continue deadlifting. If it hurts, try a rack/block pull or RDL.
Ok thk u very much appreciated
