Teaching🦶🏼 This foot was asymptomatic, but showed signs of FHL tightness/weakness. These tests are a slightly crude measure of strength/function, but can be useful as a cluster to help understand the tissues in & around the big toe when teamed with a thorough subjective history.

It's recommended that we load at ≥70% of 1 Rep Max during rehab but what does this translate to in terms of reps to fatigue? Nuzzo et al. (2024) suggests 70% of 1RM is ~15RM which is a good place to start with loading & can be progressed towards 6RM (& heavier) as symptoms allow

The Most Common Program Design Errors I See: 1. Too much volume 2. Too many exercises 3. Random sets and reps 4. No understanding of percentages 5. Poor exercise selection 6. Force-feeding lifts 7. No progression 8. Wrong order Here are solutions for all of them: 1. Volume

✅ Do this acceleration progression with us! 1. Sled positional overcoming isometric 2x5 seconds each side 2. Split stance medicine ball step throughs x3 each side 3. Sled push sprints x4 total Goal is to take primed positions & push into our 10 yard sprint work to follow
