I meant to ask you yesterday after you mentioned dealing with it, too... will see if this helps, too!

Going to start a routine of grip strength and reverse curl exercises followed by icing a few times/day to see if it helps.

No clue if this will help or not, but these 2 channels have helped me with some shit before. (Not tennis elbow)

Thanks, man. Pretty sure I watched that Athlean-X video a year ago when it was created, but didn't need it at the time... and he's probably 100% right in that it's the side lateral raise, as it's definitely a pain point.

Haven't seen DoctorJo videos before, but looks like good stuff, too.

You helped with the shin splints last year, which ended up being weak calves... started doing a lot of calf raises, which helped a ton. Thinking along those same lines now, probably just need to strengthen the area and hit on any imbalances. The Athlean-X videos touch on modifying routines, like the cheating side laterals, which really helps with my default laziness of letting it rest for weeks.

Any time man. That Athlean-X guy made one about IT band pain and it changed my life. Hopefully these help you. I’m glad your shin splints are better. Shin splints ****ing suck.
