My orthotics came in a few days ago. Did some basic soccer drills and will be working up to more plyo work sloooooowwwwwwwlllllllyyyyyyy.
I’ll be interested to hear how much difference the orthotics make. What issue are they correcting?
I have a very rigid forefoot which doesn’t sound like much, but it’s causing a whole host of problems. The orthotics build up the inside of the foot so the inside and outside contact the ground at the same time.
This is a rough exageration of my feet which explains why I’ve had two stress fractures to the 4th and 5th metatarsals on my right foot and why the lateral part of my calves have been cramping so badly. By building up the inside of the foot with the orthotic (while also working to develop more midfoot mobility) I can prevent so much stress being applied to the outside of my feet and legs.
Interestingly, as soon as my midfoot started to loosen up my squat got much, much better. It wasn’t tight calves or hamstrings but a stiff forefoot that wouldn’t allow my arch to flatten as weight was put on it. So my knees would have to cave instead.
Redoing the last week of DLs because I felt week. Not any better this time.

Thanks for the explanation. It doesn’t sound odd that your feet affect quite a bit. I recently had a lower back issue (that I couldn’t feel) that affected the hip and knee on my other side. It’s all connected.
Missed logging a bunch of work outs but things are going swimmingly. Played soccer again last night, calves seem to be holding up for now.
Today:
BP 3 x 5 x 225
followed by strip set AMRAP down to 145 by 20lb increments
pull ups ss mid trap work 7, 7, 7, x 15, 15, 15
laterals 3 x
curls 3 x
Felt good.
Fuck me, this song is like 40 years old. When I was a kid in the 80s my parents would play stuff from the 50s and 60s and that was “Oldies” music.
DL Week 6.1
Workout was supposed to be TBDL 3 x 3 x 425 however that weight was too high for me and it couldn’t get it off the ground. So I dropped weight and reps.
TBDL 1, 1, 1, x 410
Safety Bar Squat 3 x 8 x 155
Cut the workout short to take care of shit around the house today. Weight has been hovering around 200lbs.
I love the batacuda rhythm in this song. Years ago, I used to play in a bateria and would really like to start again.

I need more external motivation so I’m throwing my hat in the ring for the T-ransformation 18 Challenge. Goal is to lose 15 - 20 lbs while not sucking at athletic endeavors.
Edit: gak, I hate seeing pics of myself.
So, the last month has been filled with a lot of work, stress, some soccer, some gym, and no alcohol. Needless to say, I’ve been a miserable cunt.
I’m running Wendler’s Krypteia which I’m cautiously optimistic about. He warns against old fucks doing it and I’m definitely an old fuck. It’s basically, high volume main lift with high volume accessory work 4x a week to begin with.
Cals are around 2k per day, weight steady at 202.
As an aside, INXS’s Kick is 30 years old! *
** I really think INXS’s stuff has aged well. Even though the DX-7 and Roto-toms were splashed all throughout their music, the producer really stayed away from a lot of the synth and electronic drum sounds that marked the '80s. The fashion might be questionable but the sound owed more to late 70s/early 80s post-punk than the typical 80s synth bands.
He also died wanking. All the ass that guy must have been getting, and that’s how he died.
No wonder it killed him; it was probably the first time in his life he’d ever even tried it
Krypteia - Squat Day (but I substitute lunges)
Weight is 206, Cals averaged 2150 last week, I’m starting to look like shit again.
I bet you thought we’d forgotten you had entered the T-ransformation?
Yogi never forgets.
Yogi also never posts selfies.
Yogi cares not for your Earthly foolishness.
