Fitness history? runner all my life 5.) Is the pain immediate or does it come on after x amount of time? after about 10 min in the aero position 6.) Do you do any pre / post stretching / foam rolling? post streching...what is foam rolling? foam rolling: http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_repair/feel_better_for_10_bucks I would say it is one of two things. 1. ) Cockpit/aerobars are not quite dialed in. Maybe the aerobars are too tight, or possibly you are stretched/cramped. 2. ) Add some deadlifts to your workout routine. It's common to only "lift weights for muscles you see in the mirror." A lot of times people get squats in, but leave the back end to the mercy of the hamstring curl machine. Strengthening the lower back/hip flexors/quads will make getting into and staying in aero easier. I would look at those two things first as I think one (or maybe both ) will fix it. Good luck |
