probably what I have from tying my shoes too tight & running high mileage, extensor tendonitis:

i've always had a habit of tying my shoes tight.. like someone said on teh live chat, a basketball habit. anyway doesn't seem so serious but, i'm going to keep them loose & keep running. it has helped so far.

just annoying, whatever. ;f

my left leg might be slightly longer, my left foot is DEFINITELY bigger, but doubt that's it. i've had all kinds of injuries in the past from playing basketball and such. I also have some issues in my sacral spine (genetic) that have bugged me off and on since I was a teenager. In the end though, I think it's just all of the years of sports, injuries, compensation, and lack of mobility/flexibility training.

It's the same story with me, just that it is my left side. Left hip, SI joint and shoulder are often pretty stiff eventhough I do SMFR/mobility daily. My explanation is that I had two very severe ankle sprains a few years back from playing volleyball... one time I even tore two ligaments in my ankle. Since then my ankle has never really felt the same and eventhough I don't experience any pain it just feels odd. It's hard for me to get adequate ROM so I probably wouldn't be able to do front squats with good form without my romaleos. It seems that there are injuries that cannot be undone and you have to try your best to work around them. If that means avoiding certain exercises/activities, so be it. Sometimes you have to be smart instead of fighting through it. Better be save than sorry.

ya i remember you had some tough injuries.

when I was trying to sleep last night, I was wondering if the way I sleep also contributes.. i often fall asleep face down with my right arm up. Tried sleeping on my side with a pillow between my legs. Hip felt good waking up.. falling asleep in that "stretch" position is probably good for my hip/back etc.

Not entirely sure about the depth, but I wasn't gonna do this shit a third time. Right leg looks parallel, left one for some reason does not. Camera angle maybe? I was really hoping firing up my CNS as much as I could would have a greater effect.

Edit: Ok, I outlined the squat in photoshop, overlapped it with 322.5 and the right leg is in the exact same position (right at parallel), but my left knee for some reason is dipping lower.

nice PR! chaining the weights on looks pretty beast too. hah

For what you're doing I think you'd need more water than the average person.

ya definitely. for example today I started running at 157 lb.. post-run weight 150.1. I make sure to drink/eat it all back (and more) before I sleep.

Also, deep tissue massages could help, usually depending on how screwed up you are they'd have you go in once a week or every other week and when you're better theyd suggest once a month.  I had probably 4-6 knots in my back, a few in my chest, lower back pain(constant) and basically all over and it was gone within a few sessions and I felt like a yogi for awhile.

damn nice.

I went to a specialist once way back, painful as hell, but he worked a bunch of stuff out. Similar experience.

from yesterday.

02/02/2016

Bio: Morning

sleep = 7 hr
wakeup = 8 AM
bw = 154 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = right calf
aches = right calf, right knee slightly, right hip slightly, left thumb
injuries = toenails wrekt
bananas = 1
feel = good



Session: Morning

9 AM - 10:15 PM

tennis:
- just hitting
- hit REALLY good.. somehow form was bionic, crushing balls when I wanted
- kept most everything in



Food

2 PM ET

- 1 x 6 oz tart cherry mixed with 6 oz beet juice
- 5 scrambled eggs
- whole wheat toast with butter
- 1 x greek yogurt
- 3 scoops java chip ice cream
- some brookside chocolates



Session: Evening

7:15 PM

run:
- 9.20 mi in 1h:19m:56s
- pace: 8:42 min/mi
- speed: 6.9 mph
- calories: 1136

- cramped up on mile 5.1
- might be due to stomach shrinking

tried to figure out how to make my cramp disappear, while running.. to no avail. was brutal.

felt really good other than the cramp. calf didn't bug me, though I kept it light/soft running.



Food

9 PM

- 2 glasses of tart cherry juice mixed with raspberry la croix (FUCKING AMAZING)
- big bowl of fiber one in fair life whole milk (~2 glasses?), with banana
- whole wheat toast with butter
- 1 x grape fruit juice
- 3 scoops pistachio ice cream



Session: Stretching

10 PM - 12:30 AM
- literally 2.5 hours of stretching and self massage
- the right side of my body is so fucked (and has been fucked for a long time)
- found some extremely painful trigger points on my hip

- lots of hip, quad, adductor, upper body, hamstring, back stretching etc



need to drink more water.. i’m drinking a normal amount, but need to drink more.

the right side of my body is fucked.. i mean it's been fucked for a very long time, but i need to figure out how to fix it. everything from right shoulder, erectors, hip, quad/itb, knee, hamstring, peroneals, ankle/foot is MUCH more tender (and tighter usually) than the left side. going to keep stretching/mobilizing/massaging and see if there's any improvement. right hip has a very painful area when I dig in, basically paralyzes my leg. heh.
