I actually don't know what a "pulled muscle" is. I don't think I've ever done it. I've had tightness in leg muscles, but usually chronic, rather than acute. I back off, stretch, roll, do some strengthening and it's usually OK. I've had very tight, tender, sore pain in neck or shoulder or back, when I've tweaked something doing weights in gym or something - is that a pull? Those were only sorted by complete rest, sometimes physio. They were caused by not enough warm up, doing a movement that was unfamiliar, too much weight, poor technique or... just downright unluckiness? Hope you get it sorted. G

lammo Jan 2015 1:48pm, 29 Jan 2015 5,992 posts	Quote Pin lammo Hello I've been lurking with interest as i've been back in the gym the last couple of weeks, after about 10 weeks off due to work and new baby commitments. I tried dead lifting again today, nothing heavy but its been recommended to me, and the thing is, it seems to turn my legs to jelly. Definitiely not my quads, also doesn't seem to hamstrings specifically but the insides of my upper legs.. Is this a common issue? Anybody else deadlifting at the moment? Thanks
