torque. Look at the lever. It's 10lbs on your back. By the time it hits your hips it's 50+.

Glad you're feeling better, Roland, and congrats on the squat PR, man. Very nice indeed.

Hey is this you?

Quote:
In response, a poster named Roland asked the following
“Most of them tell people to do the intervals after the weights, so what kind of energy to they have left to do any hard intervals? Not much. But, if they said to do 30 minutes of cardio, how slow would they pedal? Pretty damn slow.I’m torn between thinking that they (the trainers) are outright wrong, and thinking that they know you’re right, and just choose to allow the trainee to believe that this is the best way because it drives them to work harder.
I don’t think the average fat loss client works out all that hard with the weights, anyway. They are often newbies to weights and simply don’t know what they are capable of, so they go low. They do steady state cardio at a pretty low intensity, too. Intervals might be the only thing they do with any intensity. They KNOW intervals should be “brutal,” but since they only last 20-30 seconds each, they do them.”

It's kind of cool knowing that there are like 4 people in the entire world named "Roland" and we've got a finger on one of them.

Nice squat PR. Congrats.

The front squats are looking good, too. Keep working on the grip, it'll happen.

Nice PR Roland! 10 pounds is a huge amount more weight when you are maxing out. When my trainer loads up a bar and I start counting the weight he tells me that its just a number and to not think about it. That actually does help me somewhat...

I'm speechless...

Last night's very late workout.

A, Jump Shrug, 3x8, 245

B, Rack Pulls, 3x8, 385

C1, Dips, 15/12/12
C2, Chins, 10/8/6

OMG my hands hurt by chinup time! There at the end, I was gripping by my fingertips, so I stopped shorter than I think I normally could've gone.

Quick and dirty lunchtime workout.

All this stuff overlapped, with the sets and warmup sets. No need for order when you're just getting the stuff in.

Squats, 12x2 (275)

V Grip Seated Rows, 1x5 (150), 4x5 (160)

Cable Chest Press, 5x5 (90)

Front Squats, 3x5 (205)


Squats and front squats are feeling good!

Well, I'm mostly just hanging with the kids today. Allie's got two little gigglers over and Tony's got a friend over for fishing.

Baked some bread at the girl's request. Cornish game hens ready to roast. Artichoke trimmed and ready to steam.

I have a dvd that I'm going to try to watch. Tonight will be the fourth attempt. I keep falling asleep before it gets through the previews.

I've walked several laps around the lake. On kids weekends, I get stir crazy. I usually want workout, but I'm trying to tone it down. I'd rather workout at the gym, tomorrow, than the garage, today. I'm squat happy, so I need the gym.

I'm also cleaning the house. Vacuuming, organizing the kitchen, dusting, cooking, sorting, sweeping, fixing ugly houseplants, etc. Since I got up, I haven't sat down except to tie put my shoes on. I'm even standing up to type this. My feet hurt a little, but they hurt when I sit all day, too.

Did you ever get my email about your feet? I need a picture ... foot level ... to tell if (generic OTC) shoe inserts would help.

Want to come clean my house? I'll cook!!

We just watched No Country for Old Men ... good, but way gory ... and kind of weird. The heavy Texas accents were tough to decipher every now and then. It was good though.

Cool I just got my camera back yesterday, so I'll shoot some.

I'm good with accents. Not so good with gore...

No, you both come to my house instead. Roland cleans and Julie cooks. Oh, wait, I've seen some of Roland's recipes. So Roland cooks and cleans. Julie then works on Roland's feet. I just eat and snooze and wake up to a clean house.

I've got a "Young Frankenstein" DVD sitting here I'll let you both watch while you go about your jobs here...

Oh, and take from all angles ... front and back are most important ... barefoot ... normal relaxed standing. Knees down would be ideal, but if you can only manage mid-shin that's okay.

How's this?



Front (obviously)



Left, outside. (Easy, girls... They're just feet.)



Right, outside (beautiful feet, though)



Left, inside



Right, inside. (devastatingly handsome feet)



From the rear. ( Hey, back off, Tony!)


Just so we're clear, Julie, I only wear the chucks for deadlifting. AND I got them AFTER the PF started. All I've used before is crosstrainers, modern day basketball shoes (e.g., not chucks), and my Free 5.0s.

Does one foot hurt more than the other or are they equal?

You are fairly flat-footed ... I would bet that you have a rearfoot varus (in neutral) and probably a forefoot varus as well. I would think that some sort of generic arch support would help.

My opinion ...

1. Lay off all jumping/impact type exercise for at least one week, two might be better (ie skipping rope, running, jumping of any type).
2. Stretch. Stretch. And then stretch some more. Calves and hams. Twice a day. Stair calf stretch. Long sit ham stretch. Hold 30-60 seconds. 2-3 reps per session.
3. Towel scrunch exercise. Take a towel (hand towel size is fine) and lay it on a non-carpeted smooth floor (wood, tile, vinyl, etc). Place your forefoot on the towel and scrunch it up under your toes. Work to the end of the towel. Repeat 2-3 times.
4. Ankle circles. Sit in a chair so your feet comfortably hit the floor. Circle your ankles around while keeping your foot on the floor as much as possible and your knee still.
5. Ice. Freeze a bottle of water and roll your foot on it for about 5 minutes.
6. Don't go barefoot (or wear Frees or Chucks) for a week or two.

Let me know how it goes.

Flat footed? I'm a freak?

My right foot hurts at the front of the heal. Left is fine.

I will do all that stuff. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that my shoes wear heavier on the outer rear of the heals, evenly (both feet the same). Better than two years back, though.

I don't know the name for this place, but they used to also wear on the outer sole under the ball of my feet. I had to replace dress shoe soles when they'd begin to wear there pretty badly. That hasn't happened for the past two years worth of soles. I'm assuming that it correlates with my ability to squat better? Yay?

I used to be a bad toe walker. All my life. It's much better, though. Only bad when I'm nervous or tired. Habit, partially. I don't HAVE to walk on my toes. I can walk like a human. Although, evolutionarily speaking, toe walkers are far superior.
