I'll keep looking to improve my mobility with "flat feet" but this is at least semi-promising. Also, can any of you guys drop down to a perfect squat and kind of walk around on it like Kelly Starrett does? The only way I can do that is if my heels are at least slightly raised. Also, I get absolutely starving on days that I lift. Like I probably eat 700 additional calories on days that I lift just because I'm so hungry. Is that in any way normal? | ||

I am always hungry, I have to make a consious effort to not eat all the time. | ||

Haven't made progress on bench since my routine is nonexistent at this point but at least I'm maintaining. However, I decided to do some light deadlifts (135lb) and just not neglect it. Felt so light I said screw it and went up to 235x3. Hip feels fine this morning soooo we'll see  It's pretty crazy since I mean it felt heavy but not like I was really straining and I haven't deadlifted in a year...Back pain. Laaaaame :\ | ||

I usually fall over with 130, but i'm probably a bit more mobile than last time i tried. | ||

Pain. My hip mobility is pretty good, the big things for me are working ankles to get knees forward and torso upright as well as my t-spine mobility (i always feel squat jerks the most right at the bottom of my lower traps. | ||

PU BW x10 x10 x6 BB Finger rolls nationals on the 23, hoping leg gets better so I can squat at least once before the meet. I'll prolly try something ultra ridiculous next week, like squat partials wearing a suit or smth. | ||
