I’ve been powerlifting for a few years, and over the course of a few recent blasts (I BnC) I have gotten progressively tighter and tighter hamstrings and my lower back (QL muscles and slightly lower, toward sacrum) has been getting thrashed with soreness/aching, tightness, etc. Been popping my sacrum/low back area daily, foam rolling around the top of the pelvis/tailbone area (checked out some videos to make sure I was OK to even roll this spot and I do it lightly). Mind you, my strength recently did shoot up quite ridiculously considering my past gear experience and overall lifting timeline (50lbs added to dead max, 70 to squat max, no bench gains fuck my life) so I would imagine that definitely plays a key role in why I have developed very noticeable tightness in the hamstrings (more so toward the back of the knee rather than near the glute) but for my endeavors I literally am going to try anything other than lowering the weights.
Been wondering, would running a blast while doing a few weeks of just postural corrective movements be beneficial in accelerating the process? I’m planning on stretching the hams, low back and calves (in case they’re somehow yanking on the back of the knee and in turn the hamstrings as well), emphasizing more quad and lower ab work, and fuck it I’m sure I could use some rear delt and trap work to correct upper body posture as well.
Just curious if it would be worth the money (mostly the only thing I’m concerned about at this point in my gear usage) to run some compounds while doing this or just keep cruising throughout. If so, what would you guys recommend? I want to avoid Deca and EQ since their benefits are more masking rather than healing, and I Don’t want to prematurely return to competition training under the guise of a corrected body only to find out I’m still jacked up.
