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.
H-E-E-L silly. You need to H-E-A-L your H-E-E-L-S.
And of course, you are a freak, but that's outside of your feet issues...

That's because it over-pronates more, putting more stress on the plantar fascia. Stretching the behoozies out of your calves will help significantly.

Yup. Wear pattern relates to foot biomechanics. If you stretch, your squat will continue to improve.

Yes, but they have tight calves which lead to abnormal foot mechanics and stress injuries like plantar fasciitis.

Okay. Crazy people in the gym.
1. Thong guy -- Seriously. What guy wears a thong? That guy does. He also wears the thong in the sun, apparently. He was very tan except for the thong tan lines. It was revolting.
2. Tapper -- Not a stall tapper... This guy rested 5lbs dbs on his knees and bounced his whole leg up and down, tapping his feet very quickly. It was sets of 100 or so. 4 sets. 100 per leg, so 200. 800 pleasant little taps in the middle of the gym. I was not the only one annoyed. He supersetted wrist curls.
3. Mesh shirt guy -- Not a 80s/90s mesh shirt. It must have been European. It had panels of non-mesh at the shoulders and pecs. Freaky.
1. Thong guy -- Seriously. What guy wears a thong? That guy does. He also wears the thong in the sun, apparently. He was very tan except for the thong tan lines. It was revolting.
Ask if he's Danish. I don't know why but the few ones I know are tanned, thong wearers.

The guy was working out in a thong? Or you saw his thonged (or nude) self in the locker room? I'm just trying to figure out how you saw his thong tan lines...
A1, Front Squats, 4x6 (205/205/195/195) -- dropped it once on the last rep of the 205. It was very loud on the pins.
A2, 45 Degree Cable Press, 4x6 (90/90/90/90) -- add weight next week
Plus -- In the last week, I've dropped a front squat and had to ditch a back squat. I take this as good and that I'm pushing myself harder. Less fear. Dropping them wasn't so bad.
Minus-- unloading the bar to lift it back up is annoying. On the back squat, I pin squatted it up (-40lbs), but it was hard.

Shower and locker room. The guy's a show off, but what he thinks he's showing off, I don't know. It's not like he's ripped or anything. Not fat, just sorta there. He doesn't use a locker, so he changes in front of everyone on the counter, which is RIGHT THERE in the middle of everyone. He's extremely tan and has no other tan lines.
Always remember that they build houses so that they can hold heavy california king sized waterbeds with canopy, mirrors, and 2 ugly people doin it wild or mild. You can't squat that, doode.

I don't even want to know how you developed that knowledge...

Y'know, I'm pretty blind in the shower without my glasses. I'd been thinking about some new contacts (can't afford LASIK) but maybe I'd better re-think that...
Nice job pushing yourself hard and dumping the squats. Makes me feel so much better about the couple times I've dumped mine!
And Lisa - nice catch. I never noticed... that cracked me up!

Soon, though, I'll be joining the ranks of the elite: kool kids with garage gyms... and then all bets are off. I predict sweaty oly lifts in my very near future.
So I pop in to see what's what around these parts, figuring Roland's log would be on page 1. Since I had to dig for it, I had to post something to bump it up to it's rightful place.
I'm still working out. Boot camp. It has deteriorated (corporate mandate to make them the same at every club) to what I was afraid it would be at the start (bands & balls) so I have two more weeks to finish up this cycle and then I'm switching it up. Not sure what, but something new & fun & using weights that aren't coated with that rubber crap!
Anyway, hi Julie, Tina & Roland (plus anyone else I used to "gab" with over here. ) I'll try to check in a little more often. It was just too much work to keep up a log and then I injured my rotator cuff over spring break (fell down skiing -- I was poling across the flat area, so proud of that...). Oh well, life goes on -- eh?
Hey, Brenda! Thanks for the bump. Glad to see you're doing well, even if bored with bootcamp.
Log activity seems to have slowed all around. Either because you've been gone or because of the super high traffic for the last few months. You decide.
Workout time!
