Notes - A much better couple of days here thankfully.  I got some deep bodywork done yesterday, a lot of focus on opening up my hip flexors and psoas.  Things have been locked up.  I also got some tips to focus on my Gluteus Medius and am using the Clamshell stretch and a few other things to focus on the Glute Medius.  Immediately after doing these in my warmup today I really felt those muscles engaging and I was able to hold that during my training session.  I also put Bird Dogs back into the warm up and I think that is a good idea as well.  It makes sense that I might be experiencing some sleeply glute syndrome as this comes up from time to time.  I am really going to focus on the glute medius and these other mobility drills in the hopes that this drives things in a good direction. Some video links follow.
