- Stacy went and talked with an ortho person and found out that she has a dislocated, twisted tailbone
There is only one way to fix that, other than surgery, and that is to have someone manually turn her tailbone the same way you would pop-in a dislocated shoulder...but in a very different region of the bodyShe is planning to have her tailbone popped back into place, but has been mentally preparing for the fixApparently once it is back in place, everything feels back to normal in about five minutesKnee wrap preferences?- Stacy has only used Reebok knee sleeves to date, she has never tried knee wraps or straps, and she has only used them when she feels like she is needing some support or to feel a little sturdier
Vivian doesn't use any knee straps or wrapsHow do you fix a squat when you are lopsided?- Stacy thinks that it tends to be an ankle mobility problem for most people, or you could have misalignment from quad squatting
Stacy recommends getting back to basics, making sure you are mobile and loose before you squat, dropping weights and really focusing on form, and seeing if you can fix that - working up in weight as you correct thatYou can also see a medical professional for more guidanceVivian suggests using butt engaging warm-upsVivan's grip-tember goalWhat Heather and Stacy were working on in the gym recentlyPrior to her recent injury, Stacy was working body-weight exercises, wall balls, Bulgarian split squats, and pressesQuestion (27:07)- How to balance the 5-3-1, Wendler program with WODs?
