    Jesse, 

    you wrote that you pretty much couldn´t do 10 min squat test before, but now that has improved. What drills have you been doing?
    David Green, did the doctor say anything about how you got the bone spur in the first place? Is it because of any past injuries? I´m also wondering if you experienced any pain in the front of the ankle before the surgery, or was it just bone-on-bone?
    To all, I´m a bit curious how much dorsiflexion you guys have? Not exactly sure how to measure properly, but I measure with a ruler from the wall to the foot, at the point where I can get my knee to the wall without collapsing or that the heel comes off. I get around 11 cm (or 4,5 inches) before my “bone-on-bone”-feeling occurs.

    Thanks for all the advice.

    iron_tiger, I will try out your instructions and give my ankles some seriously attention and see what happens.
    But the thing is, I went to the chiro the other day and it turns out I have more important issues to take care of before my ankles;-)
    I have bad posture (which I´ve been trying to fix before, but haven´t REALLY resolved completely) which means forward head, rounded shoulders, weak core, tight hip flexors etc. Also a L5 subluxation that she is trying to fix.
    So I’m going to fix my posture once and for all this time, and then go after everything else that is wrong…

    Yes Kaitlin, it seems like the appropriate thing to do.

    Have you seen any change since the start Taylor? Do you also experience more dorsiflexion if you collapse your foot?

    Thanks for your reply Kaitlin.

    We have tried “arm-raised-with-kettlebell” impingement drill, unfortunately not enough times to see any change, will try it again though.
    I guess t-spine mobility could help with shoulder impingment as well?

    Thank you so much for your in-depth answers!

    Christopher, I will try the banded GM´s. And also, I know what you mean with the feeling in the hips when I screw my feet into the ground, but I´m having a hard time keeping that feeling through out the movement. I guess it will come with practice.
    Katilin, I´m looking through the Jill-videos and will try the different mobility wod´s there.
    I also noticed that I don´t have the strength/endurance to keep the belly tight for more than 1-2 reps in the squat or the deadlift. When I come up from the bottom positions I completely loose the tightness and I have to start all over with the bracing. So I´m certainly doing something wrong with the breathing/bracing I reckon.
