Notes -  Writing this on Monday night.  Had a deep tissue massage yesterday afternoon, focused on the obliques, to try and start working on this nagging discomfort that cropped up again a week ago, and has not really dissipated.  The massage was good, it definitely helped, and I continue to be encouraged that there is nothing seriously wrong.  With that said, I adjusted the training template today, thought 2H SW would be better than 1H SW (less rotation and focus on the obliques).  However after completing training, I felt some discomfort and really had it all day today.  The issue seems to be in part obliques, but is mainly I really think it is more in the outer part of the hip and wraps around to the top of my L glute.  Sitting is awful.  I am getting more treatment tomorrow and am going to significantly adjust my training plan to really back off and de load, and focus on movement and getting this rehabilitated.  I looked over my training logs and I have been going hard for a long time, and probably with the benefit of hindsight, have not properly deloaded, and there also probably has been a little something there ever since I first wrote about this back on April 3 after doing Windmills for the first time.  The movement of pushing into m L hip in a Windmill motion is exactly where I feel the issue.  Tough pill to swallow, but I am going to try and look on the bright side here, I believe my body is telling me something, and it's most important that I get back to feeling good and moving well.  There is no point in adding load to dysfunction - I need to ferret out the problem and do things that will improve this so I can get back to solid loading and moving forward in a positive direction.  I have various mobility exercises and some things from the Pain Free book that have helped a lot in the past, and I will continue drawing on those to work through this.
