NOTES
So today was an ok day. Hit the work required but unsure if the main work felt worse than last week or not. All I know is the top single moved kinda slow.
So I noticed I have my right foot turning out (happened before). I know for me it’s a combination of external hip rotation and rotation at the tibia and it always goes in cycles of:
- Notice issue
- Do mobility work and correction exercises
- Issue goes away
- Stop doing the mobility work
- Cycle repeat
Reason I mention it is because in my prior experience when this happens I tend to lose strength in deadlift and squats due to inefficient force production so hopefully sorting this out in the next few weeks will give me a cheap boost to hit next cycle’s heavier weights
