Pulled a butt muscle

Recommended Posts

It hurts. I mean, like, "I couldn't sleep last night because it hurt too badly" hurts. And it's a butt muscle, which makes it laughable and searingly painful at the same time.

You never really appreciate how much your glutes do for you during the day until you can feel every movement in one of them as a shooting pain down your leg and up your back. Siting, standing, lying down, walking, bending -- there is virtually no position other than floating in salt water that doesn't require the use of a butt muscle at some point.

I really have no question. I just wanted everyone to know that my butt hurts.

In other news, in pulling a butt muscle, I hit a deadlift PR :)

lol. Could be worse, you could have a broken tailbone from pratfalling on your ass. That happened to me once.

It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

"Pain is an indication to change your behavior." You gonna have to rest that sucker for a long time.

The butt is a funny place, but because of that, the muscles (and there's a LOT) are ignored, and any good attention they get, they love. I never massage a new client's glutes because I'm sure their nervous and probably wearing undies anyway (so vibration and compression over the sheet instead) but they're missing out. To me, the butt is involved in all sorts of leg ativity and core stuff. You definitely appreciate it when it's not working so well ;)

Another laughable muscle group, I pulled a groin last week. Of all the muscles I've pulled over the years, that was my first groin pull.

I'm now using foam rollers on my inner thighs to help me not do that again, which is probably even funnier because I'm sure it looks like I'm trying to hump a huge black sausage.
