Hmm i have a bit of a problem lately with exercise and looking for some awesome tl advice! Basically I'm a 205lbs 5'11 guy trying to lose some weight, I used to be more fit when i was at school (quite a good spot one) where we had x amount of hours of sport, but since i left school I've become less fit over the past 3 years. So I'm trying to lose weight, I'm lucky enough to have a treadmill where i live, so I've been on that every day for about 40mintues-1hr for the past 2 weeks and a bit, but now i have pretty nasty blisters on the back of my heel. I was wondering if anyone has advice on 3 things, and it might be useful to others with the same problem:
A)blister prevention in the first case, making sure you don't get them
B) blister management, ie things you can do to allow you to continue to do exercise like with blisters (ie any particular plaster or socks that work, or should your shoes be tight or lose? would that help?)
C) cardiovascular activates you can do that wouldn't antagonize blisters particularly on the back of the heel, and don't involve specialist gym equipment (all i have is a treadmill and some weights)
If anyone could help me with this I'd really appricitae it.
are ur shoes decent?
are u striking the ground heel first? are u running or walking? if ur running ur heel should barely be hitting the ground, and it definitely shouldn't be absorbing the impact
take a break and ur heel will toughen up and u prolly won't get blisters next time. if u really want to keep working out on ur blisters (u really shouldn't do that if u have many of them...), then just wrap that shit up and go for it.

Marko/Pape
Age: 21 || Height: 6'1" or m/cm || Weight: 192 lbs/kg
Starting Date: 3/6/2010 || Goal Date: End of 2010
Weight goals -- 205lbs
Training goals -- Bench press 315lbs
Nutrition goals -- Keep eating a balanced diet with many proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbs.
Misc goals -- I want to get up to 205lbs with under 10% body fat.
Little bit about me: I have been lifting for the last ~3-4 years after I got chubby when college started and high school sports ended. I am currently 192 lbs and with 11% body fat and bench press 285lbs. I hit the gym 4-5 times a week and it has become a part of my blood. I find going to the gym to lift weights relaxing from all the mentally challenging college classes throughout the day. I know alot about the subject and feel free to PM with any questions.

Take a break and let yourself heal.
As said above it could be due to improper technique or poor footwear so we need more information on that.
Swimming or rowing (concept 2) is a good alternative btw. Possibly arm biking if your gym has one (rare).

Most people can't do this to that degree. That's normal.
The lack of ability to internally rotated the arm (arm behind the back from the bottom) is usually common in your throwing arm.
Severe lack of range of motion is known as internal impingement and usually results in shoulder injuries in overhead throwing sports such as SLAP lesions.
Best thing you can do is to try to maintain some semblance of normal internal rotation (getting hand to touch the scapula on both arms is a good goal to work towards). You can do this by doing this stretch OR the sleeper stretch.

man that looks like a lot of fun. what do your lift numbers look like btw?? (squat/deadlift/bench/press etc) cause you are waaaay stronger than you look lol
|
I would love to work out in a place like that.
No guys with pink shirts flexing their abs in the mirror every other minute.
Being able to drop 150kg onto the floor without someone complaining about the noise.
Not being afraid that I could break the wooden-floor that way.
Experienced pink shirt guys showing inexperienced pink shirt guys how to do six different variations of DB-Curls.
I need to move -.-

squat 155kg, not sure about deadlift, or bench. I can press 55kg for 3 and bench 85kg for 3 lol. I dont bench much though.
I clean pulled 140kg before, so my deadlift should be a little higher.

you can always find one near you. Just look up some weightlifting gyms near your place.
I couldnt find it, but if you find the German national team website, there should be links to following gyms around your country.

Thanks, do you do weightlifting or just strength training? As long you stick to a good program you can see a lot of gains.
btw i dont own that channel, someone from the club just puts videos on there. Which is why there is a lack of knowledge in describing the videos lol.
