Sound like the same injury that I had last night; I was on my last set of rotational lunges for NROL FL1, with my right leg forward, and I felt/heard a pop in my left upper quad. Naturally I stopped the lunges at that point, but now it's a bit sore today. I've been icing it, and really hope it doesn't stop me from doing workout B tomorrow (not to mention a hockey game this week, and tennis/hockey over xmas when I go home).

I did an image search, and I guess it is the rectus femoris; I was wondering how to ask someone here about that, but that seems to be correct, so thanks UConnJulie.

I'll be curious to see what other recommendations come about, though I guess that probably the ol' ice/rest and the proper warm-ups are the proper course of action.

In the future, as a preventitive measure, how does one adequately stretch this area?
