Icecold's mobility thread

OK, thanks guys.

I'll get the videos tomorrow and get rolling/stretching in the meantime.

Regarding my feet collapsing, do you mean specfically when I squat or more in general? Is the collapse an internal rotation or external - like my ankles pushing in/out?

OK, thanks. I do not think that is a problem, but will make sure :D

I think you could be surprised. I remember starting lifting and getting my butt kicked by the coach for being lazy like this (not a genuine collapsed arch, but poor glute med control)... all the while thinking this problem was only something subhumans suffered from. :o :D

I actually hope it is something to do form, posture etc as they would be fixable with some work.
 
My elbow's pretty messed up. I damaged it a couple of years ago moving a dumbbell into position. The area that's injured is around where the joint bends at the back of the elbow. Probably the triceps tendon
I've seen an elbow specialist who sent me to a physio which alleviated the pain slightly but didn't solve the problem. He recommended steroid injections or surgery if the physio didn't work. I know the injections are junk but not sure about surgery.

I can still train but I'm limited with exercise selection so I'm eager to get it fixed.

I can do

deadlifts
squats
bench presses
wide grip pulldowns

with no pain

I can't do

barbell curls
triceps pressdowns
incline press
close grip pulldowns
OHP
barbell rows
dips.

Is there anything I can do to sort it out or is surgery my only option?
Thanks
 
Sorry, forget to say it's triceps tendonitis. I had tennis elbow as well but that went away after I rested it for a few months.
The worst movement for it is flexing the elbow
 
Need some advice.

I need to do some foot>knee>hip alignments and my Physio has just given me a new routine which includes the following:

Head over and forward.
Right thigh in neutral
Bum back, flex lower back.
left left heel from floor keeping toes on floor.
Tummy relaxed
Repeat 3 / 4 times and switch over side.

The objective is to put emphasis on the gluts, to take the strain away from the adductors.. which are currently overloading.

I can't seem to remember form. Any idea what this may be and any videos if you know.

Thanks
 
Ice: I'm confused, I've read a couple of articles now basically slandering 'Shoulder blades together and down' - Here

I also read the other day that instead of doing the above you should 'hug' your rib cage with your shoulder blades rather than pinch them together?

Some form of soft tissue work.

Voodoo wrapping would be a good place to start.

This is because the scaps together cue has the potential to diminish scap function, but it can save your shoulders from other dysfunction and explosion.

If you can wrap your head around it, the ideal is a more neutral shoulder with the humerus back in the socket. This requires a good lever of shoulder mobility, and range in the pec and t-spine.

Quick question.. Grid or Rumble roller? They are around the same price, but there is a cheaper version of the grid roller here:

Having used the blue 'soft' rumble roller, I'd go for the black 'hard' one as the blue one just isn't quite good enough to free up tight spots in either my back or legs.

Never used a grid one, but they just look like they're for softies.

Considering I use a wooden rolling pin at home, you might want to take my advice with a pinch of PVC and chain-clad salt.
