I've always felt this is because my legs are more used to abuse than my upper body.<BR/><BR/>I do all my lifting at the same time but I think I push myself equally hard lower vs. upper body.<BR/><BR/>Dr. XDr. Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453048688271597299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124160833070692205.post-18144278256236704792008-08-15T09:18:00.000-04:002008-08-15T09:18:00.000-04:00Thanks for the wishes for my son.

I bet this store carried over 100 different soccer cleats, ranging in price from about $25 to over $300.<BR/><BR/>The appraisal of his current shoe is that it's a piece of junk and they thought he needed a more stable and supportive shoe, with a somewhat tigher fit. They thought that a tighter fit will give him better control when changing directions and hopefully, the precision will cut down on the irritation in the patellar tendons. We'll see how it goes with the new shoes.<BR/><BR/>The shoe he got also has a "turf version", which is a shoe with nominal cleats that has a much more stable base. They suggested he try the new shoes, and if things don't get better, that he consider the turf shoe for practice and then use the cleats just for games.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124160833070692205.post-7848800052034567832008-08-15T08:31:00.000-04:002008-08-15T08:31:00.000-04:00Best wishes for your son.
