might be on the verge of pulling my left hamstring (it constantly hurts, but i haven’t cried from the pain yet), anyone know a way to ease the pain so i can finally workout to full capacity again? 😮‍💨

Totally. You need to use some heat/ice and light massage (myofascia).

Make sure you do some active stretching/warm up before you exercise too. Stick to upper body for a few days to rest it as well. ✌️

it’s been about a week of stretching and massaging, but i haven’t tried heat pads. we’ll see 🤔

Try heat and ice, whichever feels best. That’s not too long yet. If it’s strained it can last weeks

oof. i hope it gets better. i guess overworking my left side to even out with my right side has its shortcomings haha 😅

Sometimes it's best to let your body rest completely a week or so. And then start slowly again.
