Really feeling it today.
Truthfully, this has been building up to this point for several days. Knee pain, ankle pain, hips/lower back pain. Feeling a bit inflamed.
Might be dietary, as I've had more red meat over the last week than I have in the month prior. Had a bit more refined, high-glycemic carbs also. Neither of those are a smoking gun, but not much else would be different as far as eating goes.
Movements might be to blame. I have dropped dumbell leg curls from my leg workouts for the time being, as I first felt the pain during that movement. My hamstrings already get a lot of work via traditional squats, 45 degree lunges, the eccentric half of cable leg extensions, and Romanian deadlifts - all done in sequence via a superset, repeated 3x, twice each week - plus the 20k plus in steps 7 days a week.
Could absolutely be overwork. For now, a bit of ibuprofen, some mobility training, some ice therapy, and maybe less intensity as it relates to getting steps in will get me feeling right again.
I thought today would be a cakewalk with no weight training, but I've got some work to do in order to be ready for tomorrow.
