Kelly WatersI was thinking the same thing yesterday. We think alike! Tags at the very least.
Kelly WatersI’d like to add that fully extending your arm horizontally before your underwater pull places more stress on your shoulder too. I always coach my athletes to aim to have the elbow slightly bent (obviously more bent for sprinting, unless their trying straight arm freestyle) before they initiate the underwater pull.
Kelly WatersThanks! I experimented yesterday a little bit. After doing some heavy squats, I did some light deadlifts. Even deadlifts without weight was really bothering it. Therefore, I was hypothesizing that hamstring tightness could be contributing to it. After smashing them out and going back to deadlifting, the pain significantly decreased. I don’t think this is the sole contributor, but loosening it up definitely helped. Thanks for your help! I would love to hear some thoughts from others too.
Kelly WatersWhat is the shape or dysfunction in your foot? I know that because of the way my feet are shaped (extremely flat on front of foot and back, but vey flexible), it is impossible for me to squat shooting my knees out without keeping all of the weight on the outside of my foot. Olympic lifting shoes (I own Romoleos 2) are better for me because they help create an arch where I am lacking, but I don’t think it’s best to use those for back squats.
