Hey man, I really appreciate your really thorough reply. I'm gonna pass on this info to my mom.

I feel for you...developing arthritis at your main toe-off joint- especially in both toes in your early 20s had to have been the worst...I'm guessing that squats and deadlifts must have been off of the table (for at least a while) given the chronic hamstring/low-back pain.

My mom is 59 and is somewhat active- just does your run-of-the-mill group fitness classes aimed at women (pink dumbell lifting stuff) and zumba; she began jogging in her mid-50s and has has over the last year developed severe pain in ball of left foot (near MTP joint) as well as plantar fascia of that foot. she began exercising for the first time in her life at around age 44- but until her mid 50s didn't really do anything that required the big toe or ball of foot to absorb much pressure- she'd been doing various low-impact dance classes, yoga, etc. I'm guessing her MTP arthritis isn't due to any congenital deformity, but rather due to a late intro to running and poor running technique.

thanks again man

Frequent injuries have been a fact of my life since I started playing sports. I'm not talking about traumatic injuries -- I've only had one of those, a separated shoulder, and it was from a fall that would have hurt most people -- but more strains and sprains and aches that just always seem to be there in one part of my body or other. As a person who loves exercising and playing sports, this is incredibly frustrating. There has to be a reason, whether or not I can do anything about it.

My interest in training came out of an interest in physical therapy that itself came out of spraining my ankle six goddamn times. Time to get back into PT mode. This thread will be a repository for things I read about injury-proneness and what to do about it.
Hey dude, been a long time since I've posted. I have a quick question- IIRC you had a metatarsal fracture or some arthritis somewhere in your feet? I could be wrong. The reason I'm asking is that my mom has arthritis in her left big toe metatarsophalangeal joints...was wondering if you'd had anything similar...she's suffering pretty badly from it (after physical therapy, massage therapy, etc. they've made a recommendation for her to get surgery)...I thought I'd ask to see if you had the same injury and if so how you circumvented it.

peace

congrats on the tied PR man! you seeing patrick lally?


Nah, my oly lifting coach (if I can call him that at this point...) also does PT. And he doesn't charge for answering questions. BTW I will most likely be in the gym on the 3rd and 6th. The 3rd I might actually have to be at work very late, but hoping not. Thursdays I'm typically in the gym by 6:45 or 7 and Sundays it varies, although I prefer to go mid-late afternoon, when basically no one else is there. Anyway, just PM me if you're gonna come down and we can coordinate.

Nice man...it's really convenient to have a coach who's also a PT. I PM'd you regarding coming down tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of trainers simply use FMS to initially "impress" clients and don't use the information gleaned from the FMS in their programming.

My question is- do you think athletes/clients who perform poorly on the FMS may still be able to perform movements that the FMS indicates they'd struggle at performing? For example, do you think a client who fails the overhead squat test may still be a good squatter (albeit with different form than used in the overhead squat test) ?

Hey man, I think I'm gonna train at balance on the Thursday, 3/3 and Sunday, 3/6. Do you think we could train together those days? I'm doing a Wendler 5/3/1 split with each lifting workout preceded by jumps.

What do you guys think about Gray Cook and Lee Burton's functional movement screens?

Do you think people who score poorly on the 7 tests can still be explosive athletes? Does getting a 1 (out of 3) on the overhead squat test suggest that an individual should stop squatting?

Do you think the FMS is a good indicator of an individual's susceptibility to a training injury?

Yo are you gonna be training at balance this weekend? I may come down to test my standing and dropstep vert on the jumpmat.
