Anyway, LEW - you doing any percussive therapy? I see it advertised a lot, but have no idea of the actual science.
I've been having some trouble with getting really stiff muscles if I sit on on the tractor very long. Stretching doesn't seem to do much in the moment. I'm trying to get in a routine of stretching every night (with the aforementioned gym that is beating my ass like a drum). Would percussive therapy help?

Have you tried foam rolling?
I think percussive therapy could be beneficial for some. Seems the guns are pretty cheap on Amazon so worth a shot.
Honestly, it's all trial and error. I have hip bursitis issues for years and years. I used to foam roll and stretch after every workout hoping it would help. In actuality, it didn't and I think actually made things worse at time (more compounding friction). I don't do either much anymore and found that as long as a warm up really well, my hip issues are actually better than when I had an extensive stretch/foam roll routine.
