Adductor issues
Hello people, I've been dealing on and off with some left adductor issues and I'm really perplexed as yo what it is. Once in a while, it'll kind of cramp up and become pretty achy when I go into deeper hip flexion (ie, squatting / lunging). It doesn't feel like any strains or minor tears that I've had. It almost feels gait / neuromuscular related since I do notice a relative general internal rotation / pronation on the left side and sort of an increased tonicity in my hip flexor/groin area and it also seems to happen after days when I'm sat for a lot longer than I should be lol. If anyone has any experience or ideas I'm all ears.

@Angus Bradley direct adductor work is something I've done in the past, maybe it's something to add in again. Micheal G.'s comment below seemed very relevant to what I'm experiencing, he noted that you might have talked about "hip shifting without lower back/abs getting involved" any thoughts on that?

Hey, was just watching this and wondered if it would be correct to assume that in a plyometric context: eccentric/amortization=expansion concentric=compression? For example, when it comes to the eccentric portion in landing - would you (and for that matter, should you) see an expansive movement archetype or a compressive movement archetype?

Super interesting stuff btw.
Load management in plyometric training
can you guys suggest/outline/ point me to some sources on how to manage plyometric/sprinting training load based on tendon issues? Are there any specific protocols around tendons in particular (considering tendons seem to have latent responses to load that also change when warmed up)? or is the general rule of deloading, allowing natural history to take over, then graded exposure the way to go here?

appreciate it Angus! good to note about managing load based on next day pain.

@Braden Jowers appreciate the perspective here man! yeah for some reason tendon rehab has always seemed a little nebulous to me compared to other soft tissue etc. i think it’s a combination of the latent response, and the analgesic response during warmups…but i’m gathering that at the end of the day it’s really just (again) about load management (via intensity, volume, ROM etc)
