Doing a bit of fooling around with different bodyweight or lightly-weighted squat variations: trying plie squats, goblet squats, lateral squats, and establishing that I am nowhere near flexible enough for a Cossack squat. And doing a lot of squatting in malasana trying to open out my hips. I have not figured out what's going on (or not) in my hips when I squat.
But I've found that I can use my cheapo TRX knock-off system to do very-very-assisted pistols, so w00t.
Ironically, it was only while writing this comment that I found this video, which may be my happy place for a while:
Mostly, though, there's been a lot of lying around whimpering and sitting in cold baths on the days when it's too hot to move. This has not been an intense week.
