i'm on a bloody health kick. doublebored.com quack told me low impact only from here on out. i'm gutted. i did 5 sets at 55kg no bother tried 65kg (my usual) on the pull down lat machine and felt like my elbows were going to snap for a week. i'm going low carb again just for the fun of eating that much meat

Kept getting pains in random joints and limbs, turns out i've got flat feet & i'm hyper mobile. my joints over flex so when i'm lifting for example i hit the lock position and go further. something to do with the collagen fibre in my joints. or lack of it apparently.
Flat feet can be sorted by orthotic soles made by a podiatrist (I'm the same), except NHS pod's are shit.

The hyper mobile is a fucker though, you'd have to proper pay attention to workout form I'd imagine.

yeah that's pretty much what i'd heard a mate has flat feet and nhs insole things and says they make little to sod all difference.

and yeah. i was pretty gutted when i got the news. i'm never gonna be the ripped Adonis but i can get pretty in shape and cut doing the low impact stuff. but all plans of gaining muscle mass big time are fucked.

They don't stop root circling like airports do IC3.

Airports are the standard, why would take a step backwards to prove what you already know. Lol

If you go private or get a decent podiatrist they make a whole world of difference mate.
You get what you pay for, first you have to get some temp ones made by hand to fit your feet, then when you've worn those for about 3-4 months and the prescription is ok you get a plaster cast of your feet taken and some special gel ones made custom by a lab.

The final gel ones are made bespoke to your feet and prescription and have a lifetime guarantee but cost around £200.
That's why NHS ones are shit. They won't pay for custom lab ones and just give you generic insoles with raiser tabs stuck to the bottom.
. I got some temps made by a proper pod and went to the NHS when my dad couldn't afford the private anymore, the soles I got from the NHS instead of gel lab ones I would have got private I've never worn they're that bad.



Including the £200 orthotic insoles for life it would cost you around £500-£600 to fix your flat feet/posture.
Or free to go through the useless motions on the NHS, when I've got steady cash flow I'm going back private.

Yes mate, you can do everything better in them.

You rip the standard insoles out your trainers and put the gels in instead, then when you stand up your posture is compensated.

My physiotherapist bollocks me for not sorting out my flat feet, makes her work harder as your feet are the foundation for the rest of your body's posture.

It's all about what position your ankles are in when standing neutral with your feet straight apparently, flat feet make your ankles roll inwards.

What's that one mate? seems to have very identifiable characteristic from a whole number of strains. Not bad for 12/12!
Its BSBxCB Black sour bubble x Caseyband by highlanders Cave which if i remember rightly is something along the lines of:

(B.O.G Sour bubble x Heath robinsons black rose) x (Casey jones(devils harvest i think??) x Headband) I may be wrong on this as was over 3 years ago i grew this an kept no notes, if you need any info though these were sent to me by Highlanders Cave who has his own thread on this forum

EDIT:
Also welcome back mate place aint been the same without ya lol

Also these averaged 2.5-3.5 oz a plant 12/12 FS

look into products like "slendertone" they use electronic impulses to contract the muscle tissue like a read workout but without any stress on the joints...its been used for years in physios
