Hi chaps
Just wondering...When I squat (or more specifically goblet squat) my right foot tend to point out after some time. Is there anything I can do to rectify this?
Naturally got issues with my foot still, just feels like the ball on my big toe is seated too 'high' in the air, it's odd.
Anyway, thanks in advance I have a band, and a doggy ball

Tight external rotators on the right side, smash and stretch
I'll have to google those
Thank you

Can't really do that with the band I've got atm, it's about twice as thick and strong!
EDIT: Dom, are you referring to my hips or? As it feels like it's just tight down on the ankle area

is it a green band?
Caporegime
Aye, from MP.
Just seems ridiculous tight to get around like that. I'll give it a go, as it'll probably loosen up with time

That's multi coloured for a start!!!
Also, how is that going to stop my ankle twisting? Surely that's working on the hip more? I think my right knee and below is just twisted quite frankly, it doesn't sit right.

Go pick one and also, subscribe to the channel. Will make searching it a lot easier as it has plenty of good stuff on there

Don't talk to me about my ears
My tinnitus plays with my balance enough as it is.Just asking really so I understand it better
As it just feels like theres something pushing my foot that way.

Below is a good one to get your hips warmed up and help with flexibility before trying the goblet squat. Shouldn't take too long either

Thats a personal preference and has helped loads.

Yep, going to go over them properly this evening hopefully.
Will do some hip opening stuff in the meantime.
Ice, I've just started waiting tables for the summer so am on my feet for up to 11-12 hour shifts. This is giving me pretty bad lower back pain by the end, especially when I'm working consecutive days. Is there any stretching that would be particularly beneficial before / after the days work? I try to keep a good posture at work, back straight, head up shoulders down and back core engaged and I make sure to lift properly.
My foam roller's arrived today so I'm going to use that every morning and evening and the resistance bands should be here in a few days.
Cheers

I'd also make sure you bend at the knees where you can. Helped me wonders when I was a pot washer!
Right guys, i'm after some shoulder rehab stuff, currently trying to do shoulder dislocations, anything else I can add in there? No monies?

Are you looking to increase range of your shoulder?
Caporegime
I'm looking to fix my shoulder.
Range is no doubt terrible, I can do dislocations with a wide grip. It just feels like the right one is seated completely differently than the left.
I get pains when performing certain exercises as well. In general, it is naff.
