NRLFW: work out A. Squat PR - 110 lbs.
Sports podiatrist diagnosed me with tenosynavitus (inflammation of sheath around tendon in my foot). Its feeling great now. But he watched me on the treadmill and concluded that my medial glut is probably underperforming, like many runners. Glut max is strong, but the glut med controls thigh rotation, which ultimately controls where my foot lands.
Anyway, so I added some glut med exercises: clam shells, lateral leg raises and single leg half-squats, making sure that I dont drop the opposing hip. Man, really felt what my Glut med was the next day!
