Funny, the weightlifing shoes are the only ones that don't kill me.

I've been tentatively diagnosed with it in my left foot. The athletic trainer at my school wants to send me to someone to verify...anything I can do myself to return to fully functional?

What...

Anyone have experience with Morton's neuroma?

I used it with HS lifters who compete every week or two using 2 ply gear & 2.5m knee wraps. (If that matters.)

I would play with the volume day depending on what we had to do during the athletic...

Starting Strength. Texas method is probably not in his future. Football gets in the way and he will move to a PL specific routine once he exhausts another bout of linear progress after football next...

I would use a closer stance and set up just like a deadlift. This will be hard with the plates you have. I think the initial set...

I have to second this! Mine came in and look great.

These (or a version of them) were EVERYWHERE at the Texas High School Coaching convention this year. I bet there's a number of HS weight rooms with these abortions in them now. This is based solely...

I did not, and I probably wouldn't even if I was in charge. I am using it with the kids that are Powerlifting for me during the off-season.

In season lifting is harder to program. Here we lift...

AAU meets?

sb

No doubt. Anything will work, but why work with programming that is not optimal?

I also hate things like the "6 absolutes" and using box squats (this is particularly stupid) and towel benches as...

My experience with it has not been positive. It has been the source of a great deal of silly bullshit in regard to what to do in the weight room with kids. Some notable things are the toes...
