Three weeks ago, I developed a heel spur (running, landed weird, silly pain in my foot, and is taking a long time to feel better), and now over the weekend pulled my hamstring doing power cleans––ever had a lighting bolt go up your leg? I have.
Now I will be lucky to be able to even ride my bike on a trainer in a few weeks. Over the years I've had tendinitis in my elbows, sprained ankles, a sore knee, hamstring tendinitis (this REALLY sucks), a pulled groin (which still bugs me at times), blown rotator cuff (surgery and all) and now this. Sometimes I feel like just sitting around and getting fat. WTF, OVER? |

Its a chronic injury in the foot related to plantar fasciitis and is basically an adaptation (calcium formation) to the injury never being addressed. If youve never been diagnosed with a plantar fascia issue, then its probably just the soft tissue starting to disconnect from its insertion point on the bottom of the heel. If you have had a fascia issue then it pretty darn well could be a heel spur, but its been growing over the months due to an existing injury. |

I'm pretty sure it's plantar fasciitis––the soreness is in the tissue at the insertion point at my heel––it mostly hurts when I push off on the ball of my foot. It just started with the acute pain a few weeks ago. Damn does it hurt. It's made the side of my foot sore from walking funny. I'll be 40 next month and I feel like I breaking down quickly. At this rate I'll be an invalid by the time I'm 50. |

If careful it should heal in 3 or so weeks. |

Just posted this on another thread.
After 50 years of working out, I’ve noticed a few things. 1. Most people who bother to go to the gym overtrain. 2. Most overtraining involves isolation exercises. 3. Most overtraining involves “split” routines. 4. Most injuries occur because of ego. 5. The younger the gymrat, the more likely 1-4 are to be true. My routine (I’m going to turn 65 in a few months): One set of pushups – 65 in 90 seconds, 90 in 2 ½ minutes. I’ll get to 100 someday. Three sets on the Nautilus pullup machine, 15 unassisted, 18 with -50 lbs, 15 with -65 lbs. Three sets of deadlifts, working up from 135 lbs to 315 lbs, 15 reps per set. I weigh 143 lbs. One set on the Nautilus Lower Back machine – 140 lbs for 40 reps. One set on the Nautilus Ab machine – 140 lbs for 50 reps. 30 minutes on the treadmill, burning 250+ calories. That’s it. An hour and 15 minutes, three times a week. |
