    Thanks again for the feedback Kaitlin.

    I have noticed one change since increasing my ankle and calf work, the return of an issue I used to have from time to time.

    Occasionally I’ll get a sudden stiffness/almost locked feeling along the back of my foot.

    I have previously mentioned it to a chiro a fair while a ago and I remember some reference to the talus.

    If I just get some ROM into my ankle by say writing the alphabet with my foot, it usually frees up pretty quick.

    I’m wondering if this is something you’ve seen before, and if there is an any advice what to do? I’ve seen some mentions of heel cord on this site and it almost feels as though it is like a rubber band at full tension which clicks to one side and the tension lessens – is this possibly what I should be looking at addressing?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply Kaitlin! I’ll test out my form against what’s suggested in the video next time I train.

    I have been noticing improvements since really targetting my ohs/snatch ROM. I have a lot of past ankle injuries I think I need to reverse, and have always been quite tight through my hip flexors and especially adductors.

    I’ve been using voodoo and banded distraction for my ankles, and using pidgeon and the Olympic wall squat for adductors. I usually follow along with the daily mWod on top of that so there has been soft tissue work etc

    I think my flexors have loosened significantly only due to how quick I can now become upright and comfortable in the couch stretch, which used to seem unbearable after 5 or so seconds.

    Sorry I know these issues are hard to diagnose remotely, but it’s good to know I might be on the right track. Thanks.
