I wear Wildland firefighter boots I've always tied my laces the same way this problem only started earlier this year, I even put a orthotic to support my high arches


It is quite possible that these boots are the culprit based on the size of your foot as well as your individual stride. Have you been to a podiatrist to measure your foot and check your gait to see if you need adjustments??

I notice that my feet point outward considerably when I squat. I actually start out trying to point them straight or very slightly outward, but by the time i finish my set, I look down at my feet and its almost 45 degrees outward (or more!) I did some research and came across this article (link below) which states going beyond 15 degrees is a sign of a hip problem. I wanted to know if I should reduce the weight considerably to fix my body mechanics and focus on feet positioning or if this is something that's not too much of an issue.

Thanks again!

Although foot positioning during walking, squats, etc. is indicative of individual hip flexor strength/development, sometimes it is a skeletal issue that can not be fixed from changing stance. However, if you have never had any trauma to the pelvis/hips, and you tends to point your toes outwards, you can try to reduce the weight and go more towards a neutral position, ie: slightly outward pointing, or in-line. Will training with outward stance hurt? Not necessarily, but it certainly will enhance whatever muscular over/under development you already have.

Ok, I'll give the "yoke" approach a try.

Can a doctor confirm if its skeletal vs correctable hip issue - or would it cost a crap ton as i don't think insurance will cover this question...

a while back, i ate dehydrated hash browns from costco (https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Russet-Hashbrown-Potatoes-servings/dp/B00470NIOO) and got diarrhea. then i tried frozen tator tots with the same experience. i thought maybe it was the processing. so last night i deep fried two fresh russet potatoes in avocado oil and ate them with avocado oil mayo and ketchup and also had diarrhea. i've never had a problem with avocado oil, the mayo, or ketchup before, and potatoes don't have nearly enough fiber. is there something else about potatoes that would give me problems? i know i also have the problem with grapes; i'm lactose intolerant; and i have problems with sugar alcohols.

as kind of an update, i just learned grapes have sugar alcohols naturally, which explains why i can't eat much grapes.

since my shoulder injury ive been doing this stretch several times a day. its called a lateral flexion, i think. it seems to help a bit

like this but i dont use my hand to pull my head


but recently i just felt a sort of pop.... in my upper trap but near the front of my body.... it doesnt hurt, but felt extremely weird... how bad can this be? seems very sketchy when i heard it sort of pop...

like around here where the red spots are, but not really in the rear, more so in front. whats the name of the area on the opposite side of this red mark?

No I haven't but I did go to a chiropractor and he told me that I am severely right handed. My hips were off he said and my right calf is according to him about a third bigger than my left he began to think the pain was on my right calf when he saw the difference and I had to remind him it was my left big toe that's fucked and he seem kind of shocked. But basically what he said I have to do is stretch and foam roll my calfs every day which for the most part I Had already been doing about 3x a week, and to stretch my lower back but to not do anything with extension

Meal 1 - good
Meal 2 - increase to 40g shake. Only add heavy cream if you are on KETO. If you are on a normal routine (i see you are, due to banana/oatmeal/etc), then heavy cream not needed. You can add some mixed berries if you desire.
Meal 3 - good
Meal 4 - good just ensure satisfactory protein (40g+)
Meal 5 - good - try "Also Salt" which is a potassium supplement that tastes like salt and comes in various flavors.
Meal 6 - good


Thanks. Could you recommend a good beef jerky to supplement my tuna patty meal with? (to hit 40g protein)

Also, based on your opinion would this be considered more optimal for cutting or bulking (or neither).

Yes, it can be confirmed via xray, mri, ultrasound, etc.

Insurance on the other hand, that I don't know.
