Twenty minutes on a foam roller is not tenderizing a steak. You are not breaking up scar tissue or melting fascia with high-density foam. The pressure talks to your nervous system and tells your brain it is fine to let that muscle relax. That is half the job. Skip the other half and your brain resets the tension. Roll, then immediately move through the new range with a goblet squat or a hinge. The window closes fast.

Your ankles should not feel like wooden blocks when you squat. Most people lose the ability to rotate the lower leg inward, so the foot collapses instead. Stand a few inches from a wall, hands on it, knees slightly bent. Keep the foot flat and rotate your shin toward the midline without the arch flattening or the hip diving in. Two sets of ten slow reps. Deep dull cramp in the inner calf is right. A sharp pinch in the front of the ankle means back off the range.

Thinking about a small group called Functional Strength. For women who want to get genuinely strong without the nonsense. Big four only: squat, hinge, press, carry. Real weight, loaded properly, and I coach every rep so you own the pattern before we add plates. Capped at 8. Past that I am just a supervisor, and that is not what you pay for. No date set yet. Add your name at mattmichelstraining.com/classes and I will build the schedule around who shows up.

Your press starts at your feet.

Loose legs, soft glutes, and the bar has nothing to push off. Then people blame their shoulders.

Squeeze everything below the belt and the bar goes up easier at the same weight.

Do you brace your legs when you press?

225 came off the floor like it owed her money.

Eighteen months ago it was a kettlebell and a lot of arguing about whether her back was going to be okay.

Back is fine. Bar is heavier.

What number are you chasing?

Knees hurt squatting? Look at the shins.

If the knees dive forward the second you start, you are loading them instead of your hips. Sit back first, then down.

Box squats teach that in about a week.

Do you sit back or straight down?

Swept the chalk. Again.

Small gym, real chalk, one broom.

Worth it.

Chalk or no chalk where you train?

Stop squatting to a mirror. Squat to a box. The box teaches depth and it teaches your hips to sit back instead of your knees drifting forward. Same depth every rep, no guessing. Start high, work down.

Your ankles shouldn't feel like wooden blocks when you squat. Most people lose the ability to rotate the lower leg inward, so the foot collapses instead. Stand a few inches from a wall and put your hands on it. Slightly bend your knees. Keep your foot flat and rotate your shin toward the midline without your arch flattening or your hip diving in. Do 2 sets of 10 slow reps. It should feel like a deep, dull cramp in the inner calf or under the foot. It shouldn't feel like a sharp pinch in the front of the ankle. If you get a pinch, back off the range. It is subtle work, but it matters for your knees.
