BIRTHDAY PR

TUES. FEB. 2ND

Got some new foam inserts in my shoes to help my back and hips because my back and traps were not able to fire properly during deadlifts because of my archs and frozen joint in my right ankle. Thanks to Kvedaras Chiropractic. Thanks Aras!

So the inserts are forcing my foot into the proper position so the nervous system will work properly and at full potential. Maintain proper posture too without the natural rounding too.

This should help deadlift/pulling type movements a lot because it will allow the back and traps to fire up where they weren't before and I was using mostly just hips.
This is will be interesting and hopefully add some weight to my pulls.
Already feeling kinda different but good.

Anyway,
