Hamstring strength and stretches? When I'm short on time I'll skip either squats or lunges in favor of a seated squat press style machine. When I do I have a spot on my Hammy's about midway that's just irritated. Just on my right leg. I don't get it but I don't like it.

The other day though, i did leg day at home with just body weight training. Calf raises, Wall Squats, lunges, squats, leg lifts etc. **** me, im still sore. Those calf raises have my calves so sore that im walking funny. For days now.... I did 3 sets of 50 in 3 different toe directions. So what, 450 raises in total? Normal forward facing toes, pigeon toed and outward. I varied the speed too. |

I was big into lifting when I was younger up but that really only helped me look good. I don't even care about looking good now. Just living longer. When I lift I eat alot of protein and food to try to build muscle and tax my organs. What info can you advise to change my mind? My weight is not an issue at all. Id actually rather weigh 200 than 170 myself but it is what it is. I just want my heart to be healthy and to lower my cholesterol. My blood pressure has always been perfect though. I am naturally ectomorphic so I am a bit worried Ill lose too much weight by running. Im already down to 179 from 188. Last edited by BWillie; 07-30-2024 at 03:50 PM.. |

My diet is 85% beef and rice. I consume about 2lbs of red meat per day. My bloods from just a couple of weeks ago my cholesterol was 168 and triglycerides only 72. No cardio other than a 30 minute walk once or twice a day. Just a normal speed walk. You might try out alternate types of strength training if you just don't enjoy the standard body building hypertrophy type of lifting. Quote:

I had a problem like that for little while. My heel would be sore as hell when I woke up and it would take some walking around to get my Achilles loosened up. It felt fine when I ran but would tighten up like nuts when I slept. I found a small brace on Amazon that was made specifically for plantar fasciitis that you could wear while you slept. It was a little annoying to wear at night, but it fixed that shit in about a week and I never had trouble with it again.

Figured out part of my hammy issue. I do GHR on a 45* rack or whatever you want to call it. I come up with 15s or 20s and do 10 back flys put the weight down and do 10 ghr. I’ve found myself cheating letting my toes widen out. When I keep them straight it’s activating my hammy where it’s weak. When I cheat it’s outside on my leg.
