miss_marissa Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think soleus is what you are referring to? Did you walk/run at all, besides your normal activities? I bounce my feet (like a lot... even in my sleep I think) and those are perpetually tight. What does it feel like?

Rookiebeotch Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I don't think it's the soleus. My usual access point to that muscle on the inside of the lower leg behind the shin bone is not tender at all. If it is the soleus, it would be specifically where it meets the Achilles tendon. After some anatomy research, it seems the pain is on the inside and lower part of the outer gastrocnemius, or perhaps between the outer gastrocnemius and the soleus.What it feels like is half way between the aftermath of an epic cramp and a massive bruise.

Interestingly, deadlifting 315x10 seems easier sumo than conventional, aside from grip failure. I wonder if this holds true for me at higher loads. Shovel deadlifts were an excellent addition. 10/10, would exercise while looking retarded again. Big thanks for Matty being a bitch. I would have never learned about this exercise if he wasn't always whining and complaining, resulting in attracting the attention of ElEx like flies to horseshit. 1 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment
