The problem is I don't know what is exactly wrong so am trying different things based on the opinion of therapists.

If the answer is squat more then I must be squatting too much for my core strength at the moment which seems odd as my legs want to squat plenty more.

So I either lower the weights or work on some specific exercises to target a supposed weakness and if nothing else prove to therapists that my core is fine (if it is).

Anyone had good experience with Chiro's?

If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Woodchops are good for three dimensional core strength and people shooting for aesthetics. The former being useful for preventing injuries in other exercises due to imbalance or improper technique, and sports that require quick turning of the upper body (boxing for example). Being a side to side movement, they engage some muscles that are seldom worked hard during linear up and down movements. They will work your abdominal wall, your obliques, your pectorals, your shoulders, your lower back and even your legs. Be wary of going heavy if you have lower back or shoulder problems though - it's not exactly a natural movement of the body.

3 months of woodchops and a low enough BF% =

You really want to be doing squats and deads a lot though...there's no substitute for the core strength these exercises give you.

yeah. Chiros have their place even though physios don't think so.

it's an odd feeling when they adjust you and kind of scary.. but it does help. It's pretty temporary but after multiple visits, the adjustments they make seem smaller so it does help.

My spine is a little crooked, and my hips slightly tilted (right leg is 6mm shorter than left).

The chiro I went to was quite good. he was all about adjust, 10 minute walk, then ice it for 10 minutes 3 times a day and no load on it.. This was after my initial injury.

first week of the injury I saw him 3 times, 2nd - 4th week I saw him twice each week, 5th and 6th week I had single visits.

he'd find the spot, move you back, forward, side to side while feeling the spot to see if it moves properly or binds, and adjust (which is crack basically, beit via a twist or push), then walk, then ice.

6 weeks later I started doing squats and deads again as he suggested.

went back 2 times about 6 months later for adjustments and that was it.

There are different type of chiro practice too.. can't say what is better.

maybe research that if you want.

That type of toothpaste is shit Birds, you have to hack it open to get the last quarter.

Yeah fair enough I realise doing those compound lifts is a winner and it IS my desire to do them, I just want to try and lock down what my back issue is before I continue adding weight to avoid further issues.

It's either caused by my leg issues OR was caused by poor form/weakness when I started doing the lifts, as we all know I was dodging them.

Problem is I started regular walking and these compounds lifts around the same time (I think) so hard to isolate.

At the very least it doesn't specifically hurt when I do those movements, only after. Also, despite having not gym'd since Friday it hasn't improved but I have still been walking twice daily (now with basic insoles and my arches strapped up).

Aids.

I can't get that low even with a wide stance and well above 45 degree angle on my foot position.

The scar tissue on my ankle doesn't allow it. I can get probs 65-75% of the way there if I try and thats pretty uncomfortable. Still below parallel though.

My vid shows a semi comfortable depth for me, but doesn't show what I consider improved setup and tension in my core before I start the motion.

I was thinking something similar , but thought maybe it was moisturiser...

Hack squatting or leg press might put less strain on your ankles?

Went to a chiro for a while, he was a good one as well (did xrays at the start, talked me through analysis on the comp screen etc) but after a while got the feeling that the adjustments were not doing that much and seemed like there was a gameplan geared to get me going back there until the end of time, i.e. no defined end point.

you forgot but still suggested he does ATG

I didn't know about the big L. And I was saying that Olympic stance is easier to get your ass to the ground, which it is.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.

      I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
