What? He IS out with a foot!

 

[Lore]

What? He IS out with a foot!

yeah, plantar fascia caused by skinfolds apparently

 

[84859300]

Has looked out of it for many weeks and only offered something in the first 20 minutes, so a good call for mine.

Take time and get well - let's bring in someone who moves well. Jye is a great choice.

I'm sure the skinfolds will be just fine after a few weeks of "deloading"...

That's where all the excess force from extra skinfolds ends up. Knee bone connected to the ankle bone etc

The Link Between Your Weight and Plantar Fasciitis: Phoenix Foot and Ankle Institute: Foot and Ankle Specialists

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition in your feet — but did you know your weight is a huge factor in this condition? Keep reading to discover how your wei

Yeah, would have thought the link between his latest injury and his continued lack of conditioning was obvious.

You'd think so...but Robert Harvey had the same thing, so who knows

 

[eth-dog]

I've seen guys who are 60 kg dripping wet have plantar fasciitis.

Christ how many kilos do you think he’s carrying

Most footballers have a BMI of 24.5-25. Jake’s falls in the normal range. Players with better conditioning (e.g. Shiel) tend to have higher BMIs as a consequence of the extra biceps. Muscle weighs more than fat.

It’s far more likely that a plantar fascia injury is related to excessive running, standing, and doing athlete things.

I think it's because he's a huge tombola

So really Cox not having ripped biceps is a preventative measure to ensure he won't have plantar fascia issues? Man, and some rag on the club's strength and conditioning program, sounds more like we're cutting edge and ahead of the game.

I'm not even saying fat = weight = injury.

I'm saying his body has evidently been dogshit for years, and constantly blowing out is strong evidence that he doesn't train and eat to the standard required of a professional athlete.

Said lack of professionalism almost certainly has an influence on the amount of time he misses through injury.

 

[Kong]

For sure.

I'm not saying the actual professional athletes avoid injury, of course they don't. Hird would have been one of the hardest trainers, yet broke down regularly.

I just think it's visibly obvious that Stringer doesn't do what's required off field. Less running due to injuries? Sure. Do boxing, stationary bike, rowing, swimming. Don't eat crap food. It's pretty ******* simple.

Yes, more functional weight.

He did boxing pre season when he couldn’t run due to lingering concussion.

Nothing like boxing to fix up your lingering concussion.

 

[thepokey]

I never really get the "he's looking unfit/heavy" thing people say about him. They seem to say it when he's playing bad .. but then he's "looking fit and lean" when palying well .. but he looks exactly the same to me in both situations. Seems to be the sort of player that once looked pretty unfit and now it's a tag he keeps getting given

Boxing or zinger boxing

Stop it my sides are splitting.

I think i bought a plantar fascia from bunnings last week.

Running, hoping to play again in 2023
