[email protected]ParticipantYeah I can add those as well. What about sumo dead lifts?
[email protected]ParticipantWhen I do banded distractions with my hamstrings my brain changes. I go from knowing Its going to suck to squat to It is going to be pretty easy to the point where I am like “wow I can’t believe how easy this is”.
I just hope that after a while of being in contact with them they stay normal.This is what has been most effective (I do these pre work out)
So my excercise is to Squat and glute ham raiseand to cool down I am just going to take a super nova and smash and or monkey bars of death.Right now I can not sit up right for Glute ham raise.[email protected]ParticipantI have most of the tools and I can use them at work, but not all the time so I was just wondering if there is a non tool approach I can utilize.
Also conversation wise I am interested to know why my hamstrings don’t ever “feel” stiff. For instance, I know when my quads are stiff or low back…but not my hammies.[email protected]ParticipantDavid,
What were your circumstances to get surgery? I am not officially competing or anything — I’d just like to have a healthy body. I’d like to squat when I am 60 etc.[email protected]ParticipantSimple laymen answer would be that everything plays a role in having full range of motion. I am having a medial malleolus blocking issue, but when I smash my calcaneus it seems to relieve some of that blocking feeling and I can get somewhere with banded distractions
[email protected]ParticipantAll,
On my left foot I feel like I am getting bone on bone action with my medial malleolus when I create an arch and move my knee forward.I’ve been smashing my medial and lateral parts of my shins. Banded distraction etc.One mystery I have is that my big toe feels stiff and I was wondering if thats an sign of anything that I am missing. It seems as though when I create an arch/torque in the left foot my big toe is straining to keep down. Is this a sign of a weak left foot? I also have a hard time balancing on it as well.[email protected]ParticipantI would take the conservative approach and not go even light. Work on mobility and get an MRI. make sure you are ok and get a real doc to see what is going on.
[email protected]ParticipantI think the trouble occurs when the feet are straight. Ripp doesn’t emphasize feet straight. Feet straight, knees out is expert level stuff. I like Kstar’s new thing with duck out, but keep arch in foot.
[email protected]ParticipantGotcha —
[email protected]ParticipantIn the ankle webinar, the positions Kelly puts that girls ankle in look like it would help accelerate the process of cleaning up range of motion. All the daily rx’s would just help maintain the new range.
I think in the webinar he also explains what the kettle bell smash is really doing as well. I do the kettle bell smash on the calcaneus and I feel relief on the medial malleolus.[email protected]Participantpretty sure because you had an MRI?
I think the mistake KStar made with knees out cue is he didn’t preference that you needed to make sure you had good ankle and hip mobility. If other parts of your body are stiff they are going to hold you back in which case you are going to being hanging on tissue — pretty much pulling on something that is not moving which is not good. The force has to go somewhere, and most likely its going to be your knee if you don’t have the right range of motion.[email protected]ParticipantTo explain the chronic stiffness David suggests that you are relying on your hamstrings more then your glutes and quads.
For me, I think I am quad dominate so my quads are always stiff because they hold the load the most. Most likely your hamstrings are stiff because they take on the most load. The goal is to get everything firing to support the weight evenly.The best way for you to fix this is to isolate the weak muscles and get them stronger as well as for your brain to activate those weak areas. Your brain doesn’t know what to activate, therefore, doesn’t turn on the location. So you need to consciously look at the shapes/patterns you make with the exercises (Squats, deadlifts etc).[email protected]ParticipantCheck out this thread and see if it is the same thing
[email protected]ParticipantI actually feel the restriction in my medial malleous or I feel blockage in my medial malleous. Are there any red flags with this?
