I decided to try heavier weights for the one leg deadlift. Previously, I had always used the lightest kettlebell in one hand. This year I tried using a 12.5 lb dumbbell in each hand. It was more difficult to keep my balance so I switched from the kettlebell to dumbbells. On Sunday, I decided to use 15 lb dumbbells and it was very very hard to do the exercise. I completed all my sets and felt good but on Monday my right hip and butt were very stiff and sore when I walked or bent over.
Yesterday I still went to the gym but worked on the weight machines rather than doing my usual exercises so that I could rest those muscles. My hip isn't as sore today but the whole right side of my back is very stiff. I think I will have to spend an hour tonight just stretching.
