your videos are amazing. Comment on shin splints.
I always got shin splints. Like you said, they were difficult to deal with. It was a habitual problem for me.
Recently incorporated barefoot running into my training and they are gone.
Stanford's track team incorporates some barefoot running into their workouts to strengthen the feet and lower leg muscles. The acclimation period is a headache but that might be something to try.

Solution to shin splints, run/walk backward. Inclines help more as well. It's an easy process to flip the antagonist-protagonist relationship of the anterior-tibialis and the Gastronemius and Soleus muscles.

@BustersTexas 7' 3" with shoes on. hey in the future email me with questions. youtube comment notification is hit or miss

Oh yeah for shin splints, did depth drops not work? I thought that depth drops are one of the best ways to prevent shin splints because they just cause your bones to absorb a lot of force. As well as bounding. Maybe drop the strength training and go lighter

That's a good squat style, I prefer to squat like that too, jumping the weight at the top. Whoever was sprinting in the middle looks way. Was that you at 1:30? You look way faster sprinting than jumping. Jumping you always looked like your RFD was way behind your strength levels

@jumptrainee1 I've been able to deal with my shin splints by spraying very cold water on my lower legs in the shower after the workout... it could work for him too, even puting ice bags on it or something, but just cold water instantly kills shin splints for me until the next training

@jumptrainee1 yeah, he might want to stop for a while and ice the shins
have you considered on getting Chris on some supplements? like creatine? or maybe improve his flexibility

@Luraj7 his flexibility is great and I don't know what the purpose of creatine would be. His lifting is great. the shins are the only problem

@jumptrainee1 well creatine will get him stronger, maybe more explosive, cause thats what creatine does. hell also prolly gain some more weight. about shin splints, he needs to strenghten his anterior tibialis, there are a lot of ways to do that. type in search at yt : destorm shin splints, theres a good way to stretch those muscles after a workout

@Luraj7 what I'm saying is getting stronger isn't a problem for him. Creatine doesn't make you stronger. It potentially allows you to get more reps in lifting sets by sustaining the phosphate-creatine energy system. It definitely does not make anyone more explosive. And like the video says Chris has been doing all kinds of lower leg exercises for a couple years, including tibialis anterior work, but shin splints are just tough to get rid of without stopping the high force activity

some of these exercises i'm afraid to do so coz it might end up in a disaster. seriously speaking i can deadlift 180lbs now but the hang clean etc i can't go on more than 70-90lbs. i know it's difficult but is there any way that i can improve that?
