Torn abductor, omg that hurt

[Captain FT]

was on my last set of squats, went down, was on the return and then...boom.

If you've ever torn apart two boneless chicken breasts at the connective tissue that holds them together, that's what it felt like as far as what I envisioned going on in my leg. Within half a second i made the decision to finish my motion instead of kicking my feet out and letting the weight drop to the squat rack parallel bars, which in hind sight i think made it worse.

Thank god its not my quad and I can still walk. You don't realize how much you use your abductor/gracilis muscle until its strained. Man that f'ing hurt!!!

I know, I know...rest, ice, compression, elevation. My neighbor is an RN and has a whole cabinet full of pain meds...thank God.

Damn sorry about that bor. Injuries are my worse fear. I hope you heal up soon.

not sure how long it'll take, maybe 4-5 weeks

leg day will probably consist of light extensions, i'll have to see how it goes. i can contract my quad I just can't rotate at the hip. Looks like I misspelled it too, should be adductor. Its really sore, for lack of a better anatomical word, in the taint area (under the scrotum) so I almost wonder if the muscle was trying to separate from the tendon there.
