Also, find an empty glass bottle and roll your foot on that. Old Mexican trick that works well.

I just finished week three of SL's and have been doing it early in the morning (fasted). I feel that as I progress, training fasted will cause an issue? Any Input?? I'm in the gym at 5 AM so I can knock it out before work and not worry about dudes hogging the squat rack.

I like working out fasted. Its usually great. but some days it makes it a bit more difficult to do everything i need. Usually tho i prefer it. I don't go completely empty tho. usually a scoop of whey and a banana or something. I only get to do it on the weekends, since i work out after work during the week

Thanks for the input. I'll just drink some protein and have fruit before.
Do you also have a scoop of whey after?? Or just real food?

Afterwards it's both. food and another shake. I feel like i do the majority of my cut of the weekends, because it acts almost like an intermediate fast.

Have you always had issues with your feet or has this come on over the last year??
Have you looked into foot strengthening exercises at all?
Imo orthotics can do just as much bad as good. If you're feet are anatomically correct and you've not suffered a severe injury you shouldn't need them.

ahat was deadlifting. In a hurry, forgot my belt, got sloppy on a rep at 315 and felt a shockwave, dropped the weight. I can barely bend at the waist now. I'm pretty sure I bulged it at the very least. Guess we'll see where it goes from here. I'm even more frustrated bc it wasn't pr weight or anything close. I pull that regularly. Idk what happened. I'm leaving for almost a week vacation tomorrow. I can't fin believe this.
Gotta be careful with big lifts man.
Ever since I started jiu jitsu my structural integrity has gone to ****. I have to warm up thoroughly for like 30mins before I can mess with any lifting.

I had PF issues in college but not this bad and orthotics basically solved it and eventually it went away. That was over 12 yrs ago though lol. It's been mostly gone til this past year. The problem is I hoop 1-2x a week. I'm really optimistic this past 3-4 weeks of no bball is going to save me and then I can get back. Maybe in another 2-3 weeks I hope

is it your sternum or actually your back when you breath? I had a strain and it was actually my back that was shooting the pain to my sternum and my sternum usually gets tight on dips.
Might just be your gains, just rest from dips

nah, its definetly my sternum. Damn near crashed my car because the pain came out of nowhere. It hurts to turn the steering wheel.
I looked it up online and it looks like its inflammation.

I get this chest pain there from working out too. It even hurts from worksouts like pullups, row's and anything involving laying chest down on a bench like reverse flye's. I just try to workout through the pain.
I've also recently lost ~30 lbs since Feb and now, my xyphoid process sticks out so I think there may be some correlation with that. Besides during strenuous workouts, it hurts when I cough too. Doctor's say there's nothing wrong but I'm gonna go get a second opinion soon.

I recently just added weighted dips again in my regime. I really need to hit more compound push workout if i wanna increase my incline bench.
Currently doing 60lb weighted dips. Wanna get to 70 soon but its a pain in the butt having to hold the dumbbell between your legs. I also dont feel like buying a belt cause i dont wanna carry it with me (i dont use a gym bag lol)

def. avoid dips at all cost. you can literally break your sternum from dips.

Using a db was wack af to me. I felt like half my attention was on making sure the db didnt fall instead of 100% on doing the movement. I copped a belt and carry that **** on my shoulder like im the heavy weight champ, i feel no ways. I use a backpack as my gym bag. I carry my belt the same way too. Feelin like prime Mike Tyson out here.
It is a pain loading up more than 1 plate on the belt tho.

Damn! Didn't even know that was possible. I probably won't hit chest for 2 weeks or so and see how I feel. Just when I was making gains on my weakest lift. smh
