 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Nowadays I have a knackered foot. Think it's collapsed arch. I'm using 'superfeet' inserts in my shoes. Podiatrists gave me different inserts but they made things worse. As I'm a postman I walk 10 miles a day, which hurts. I'm hoping that as my feet get used to the inserts the pain will go away. But, I deadlifted heavier than I have for ages the other day, and my foot has been worse since So I've come to the conclusion that I can't deadlift or squat heavy anymore. :-( Any suggestions for building leg mass considering I train in my garage (no machines) Thinking of split squats/lunges/step ups, and light stiff leg/Romanian deadlifts ? Anyone got any better ideas? Also, anyone else had foot problems like mine? Pain feels like the bones in my foot need to click into place sometimes, upper foot/ankle joint, and little toe side of foot too. ?? Ta | ||

Usually it last from a few hours to a couple of days. Once it lasted six months  .Docs told me it was a soft tissue injury and not much I could do. In retrospect I think it was probably plantar fasciitis. The harder I work on leg flexibility the less pain I have. I'm still s**t at doing it, though, because I'm a f**king stupid arsepiece. | ||

I think I'm ok for kbs tbh. What you getting from mo's boarski? Cheers Rick. My foot is feeling a bit better, maybe recovering after deadlifts. Definitely need to avoid heavy loads through my foot. | ||

Nothing to lose... | ||

I'll have a look but plantar effects the heel/sole of foot. My pain is in the bones of the upper foot. Anything is worth a try though. Ta. | ||

Cheers boar, but you're probably right. Not much point in getting more weights if I'm lifting less. Lol | ||

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Overhead squats any good for building quadage? The amount of weight I'd be using would be so little it should be ok for my foot, but at the same time would probably be too light to stimulate any growth? | ||

That's somewhat confidence inspiring, but I've amended my goals accordingly so I don't take the hit at a later date. Let me know if you don't rip as expected so I can initiate plan B - to have forearms like Fat Pete.  | ||
