Find a sports physician. Ask around at a good powerlifting, strongman, olympic, or maybe even crossfit gym. (What is a good gym? They should have a lot of people squatting/dl over 500, and a handful 800+. There will be names on a leaderboard.) They'll know doctors that help you work through injuries.
And foam roller your it band. Every evening, and maybe every morning as well.
edit: with the it band, make sure it is your it band. Check with a good pt person that you don't have weak butt muscles (I forget which.) There's a simple test for this that involves lying on your side and raising a leg, but I don't think I can adequately explain it in text.
source: 10 months on crutches and a very tight it band.
- berntb 10y agoI second the suggestion for a specialized sport doctor. Especially for more complex joints, like knees and shoulders.
- to3m 10y ago"500"? Permit me to channel my secondary school chemistry teacher: 500 elephants? 500 biscuits? Units, lad! UNITS. (Of course - I know you mean kg! But the point stands.)
- x0x0 10y agopounds 500kg = 1102lbs; the list of people who can dl that is: Eddie Hall. AFAIK only 4-5 men have dl'd over 1k lbs ever (regulation height, no suit, not tire deadlifts or some bs) -- Benny, Eddie, Andy Bolton, Jerry Pritchett, Brian Shaw. The list of 1000 pound squatters (no suit) is short too. Ed Coan, Malanichev, and a few others. Anyone who can squat 500 lbs is strong. To depth, obviously -- lots of people can do 500 lbs knee bends.
