I managed to strain my left glute muscle at the gym the other day. In case you missed it, that would be my left buttock. lol
How the hell does one strain such a thing? I was doing lunges on the smith machine, which is one of my favorite routines. Sadly my glutes weren’t having it. On set 2 when I got a sharp spasm in my left glute. I stopped immediately. And I’m sure I looked like man possessed limping around the gym trying to rub a charlie horse out of my ass cheek.
Needless to say, I skipped the rest of my glute workout. I’ll give’em a week off and come back strong next week. Here’s hoping it’s all better by then.
This might sound crazy, but have you tried sitting on a tennis ball to massage the glute? It was part of my therapy to fix my IT band issues and it worked like a charm! Got those knots out in no time!
Did you get anyone to kiss it better? 😉
(Couldn't resist that one!)
Play tennis and you will get all sorts of strains and be sore from neck to toes most every day. Glutes can be stretched… put left leg over right knee… squat holding onto your stripper pole. This will feel good and it will go away eventually.
Too easy.
OUCH!
