THANK YOU VERY MUCH....i really appreciate it.In other words, deadlift.

romanian deadlifts
I don’t think I ever got back to you in the other thread but I had been doing them, not really helping, I’ve been doing a lot of high rep low weight squats since it’s not causing pain and has nice ROM. I‘m just trying to keep moving, putting lifting on the back burner now and have been doing a ton of bjj lately.romanian deadlifts
Havoc might consider this wimpy since it doesn’t recommend a 400lb deadlift for general health and wellnessIs there more to life that squat, bench, and deadlift? Today we ask life’s existential questions. Sure, if you want to get better at only S/B/D training those lifts and their different iterations is likely the best way. But what is the goal is to be a more rounded athlete, or just to be able to do your daily tasks without much issue? Or, what happens when an athlete has a setback and cannot S/B/D for a while. Maybe they even have to perform some sets below RPE 5. Are they suddenly less of an athlete? Or are they maybe less of an athlete for ONLY being really good at three lifts. Good ole NNT might even go so far as to call those athletes “fragile.”
Nowhere in the physical activity guidelines does the resistance training recommendations demand that you pull 2x bodyweight. It amazingly does not state that perfect form is needed to perform said lifts either. Sometimes I think we forget there are more weights to move than just with a barbell in our hands or on our backs. The progressive overload may in fact be how much we are overweighting our expectations for the miracle of S/B/D.
When an athlete does endure a setback that takes away S/B/D, sometimes we may need to open up the program, add in some different exercises, and not be so intense. That is okay. If an athlete’s primary focus is powerlifting though, it is also okay to start paring back those exercises as symptoms regress. We don’t necessarily need to keep the umbrella open all the time. It doesn’t only need to be open when it’s raining. Sometimes, it may just be a little hot with what is going on and we’re just looking for some shade.
There are no good or bad exercises but often the weight we assign to how important an exercise is can make it helpful or harmful. It is not that a special rehab exercise is going to “fix” or “prevent” some issue and having a mediocre total in powerlifting does not automatically qualify one for peak athleticism. The guidelines advocate for movement, not specific movements. We often forget that when that one specific movement we want to do is not available for a little while that there are literal countless other ways to move. Those other ways help us keep moving forward.
That was a good quote. Reasonable.I don’t think I ever got back to you in the other thread but I had been doing them, not really helping, I’ve been doing a lot of high rep low weight squats since it’s not causing pain and has nice ROM. I‘m just trying to keep moving, putting lifting on the back burner now and have been doing a ton of bjj lately.
And to OP: movement.
Here’s a good post from one of the barbell medicine crew’s Instagram:

I've gotten relief from grinding away the edges on the piriformis zone. I use a lacrosse ball, it's denser than a tennis ball.piriformis massage
or it just gets better regardless of what u end up doing. these things resolve on their own many times. in the meantime, strengthen ur back duuuI've gotten relief from grinding away the edges on the piriformis zone. I use a lacrosse ball, it's denser than a tennis ball.
Does it "fix" anything?
no
Did it make it feel better?
yep. along with rolling it underneath my hips or QL, it took the edge off for a while.
Ice
heat
ball
rest
light movement that doesn't hurt too bad
aleeve for a while.
If it gets worse, it's probably worse and you need to talk to a professional.
These stretches have helped mine. Comes and goes mostly gone the last few years. Another stretch is to lie on back and bend and cross one leg over to the other side. Twist upper torso arms out stretched to the opposite direction.In other words, deadlift.
