Haven't seen DoctorJo videos before, but looks like good stuff, too.

You helped with the shin splints last year, which ended up being weak calves... started doing a lot of calf raises, which helped a ton. Thinking along those same lines now, probably just need to strengthen the area and hit on any imbalances. The Athlean-X videos touch on modifying routines, like the cheating side laterals, which really helps with my default laziness of letting it rest for weeks.

Any time man. That Athlean-X guy made one about IT band pain and it changed my life. Hopefully these help you. I’m glad your shin splints are better. Shin splints ****ing suck.
