Lig pain

Hey, this is about my 4th day on the newbie routine, and after doing the downward manual stretch on the second day, my ligs were sore, which I figured was normal since I had never worked them before. Just to be safe though I took the next day off, and by earlier today, my ligs felt great. So I continued with the routine, and I felt fine. But about 5 minutes after my cool down today, my lig on the upper right side of the shaft is extremely sore. When I’m sitting it feels fine, but when I stand up and take large strides it’s killer. This is probably normal, and need to take a another day off, but I’m just a nervous newbie! Any input would be great, thanks!

Dear nervous newbie, :)

Welcome to the forum and good luck with gains. Sounds like you’ve been just a little too aggressive for just starting out and you’ll be fine. Just dial back the intensity on that stretch and read and bookmark this thread: Physiologic Indicators (PIs) to help growth!

Thanks for the advice and the reading tps!

Yea. Cut back on the stretching tension. When I started about 3 weeks ago the stretch wasn’t really much of a stretch. Just nice and easy.

Now I can go a little firmer but still not yanking it.
