In the last week or two, I started squatting, and so far, no pain. I'm being very, very careful and gradually working at it. It's been 23 years since I've been able to squat, so I'm having a little bit of trouble fathoming this. It just seems surreal. I'm excited, but I'm still a little scared something's going to go wrong. It's taken 40 months of hard work to get to this point. Still a lot of work to do though. Hopefully, the progress will continue.

I've been working on my squatting daily and it's getting a little bit better all the time. I've been doing a lot of myofascial release for the legs to help things along. A full flat-footed squad is my next goal and I'm getting a little bit closer all the time. Plenty of new videos on my youtube channel, if anyone is interested. Better lower body mobility, seems to be helping out my thoracic outlet symptoms, as well. Everything is connected.
