Ok, update.. After roughly 8 months, I am finally getting back to squatting a halfway respectable weight. I had to start off by doing VERY light leg exercises. I then moved up to stiff legged deadlifts, which was a pain in the @ss literally, lol.. The foam roller has become my very dear friend. Rolling is doing what is referred to as myofascial release. Basically you are "tenderizing" whatever muscle group you are rolling.

I won't lie, it hurts when you are rolling an injury, BUT no pain no gain ya know. The main thing I learned with this whole ordeal is sometimes you have to put you ego away when you notice a form deficiency and just suck it up, de-load and fix your form. I was trying to not go backwards as far as my progress but ended up starting from the empty bar AGAIN. It will probably be spring time when I finally get back to where I was, IF I can progress steadily, but I am NOT going to push past what my body says it can do.

Stay strong all...
