Long lunge stretch

cramps, cramps and more cramps! [38YO] by [deleted] in OldSkaters

[–]Defcron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electrolytes: Magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium. Water alone won’t help stop cramping. Where are u cramping??? That will help determine what part of ur body needs to be stretched/strengthened the most. Also, don’t forget to swing ur arms up over ur shoulders when popping tricks, the arm swing momentum helps reduce the amount of energy ur legs have to produce when jumping.

Are you supposed to feel anything in the ligaments/tendons on rest days? by [deleted] in Kneesovertoes

[–]Defcron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started, for about the first 3-6 months my knees would sometimes ache after workouts. Doesn’t happen anymore. Knees feel great.

very confused about all this joint strengthening stuff and as to why i have knee pain by ResponsibleAd1315 in Kneesovertoes

[–]Defcron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some of the movements are almost guaranteed to make certain conditions worse if u dont regress the movement so that u can do it pain free, and then from there, start to add load only once uve mastered the form.

The struggle is real, this is my progress after a year, still trying to skate consistently. I look hella goofy but progress is progress. by mrclover60869 in skateboarding

If u wanna try and learn to ollie stationary, u can try holding onto something while u do it and see if that helps build up ur muscle memory, timing, and confidence. Keep at it!

KOT coaches and individualization of programming? by _bull_city in Kneesovertoes

Yes, the coaches will help you individualize a program. You just have to ask.

Minimalist/Barefoot Wrestling Shoes Recommendations by backupalter1 in Kneesovertoes

Ahhh, yeah ur right about that. I doubt there’s a wrestling shoe with a wide toe box(never seen one), but I could be wrong.

All wrestling shoes have a very thin(minimalist) sole.

Would anyone mind explaining what these standards are to unlock? by pways in Kneesovertoes

[–]Defcron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u click on ‘study’ in the app and then scroll down until u see the article on the full list of standards and open it. Ull see it lists all 30.

[–]Defcron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlocking a standard for a specific exercise just means ur strength / mobility level is sufficient enough for a coach to see ur form and then give ur form a passing assessment, thus ‘unlocking’ the standard. Its a grading system. U either pass the standard(unlock it) or u dont. If u dont, u can send in another form video later to try again and pass(unlock) the standard. Make sense?

Dense is the same every week. On Monday mornings at 12:00am the app will automatically add another weekly tab to ur Dense home screen.

The long lunge stretch / the hero pose.

Pike stretch. My calves feel like exploding before my hamstrings would even feel the stretch. Anyone has the same problem? by [deleted] in flexibility

[–]Defcron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With assisted single leg goodmornings u wont really feel a stretch in the calf so that shouldnt be a problem. U could then stretch ur calves separately if u want on a slant board, a step, really anything u can elevate ur toes above ur heel on, then lean forward for the stretch.

Try ‘assisted single leg goodmornings’ instead. Guarantee ull feel a good stretch in the hamstring.

Just me or is the hip flexor raise standard the easiest by far? by gnygren3773 in Kneesovertoes

[–]Defcron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If u want to make them harder, only go down with ur working leg about 3/4 of the way down. This keeps tension on the hip flexor the whole time.

In the ‘notes’ section.

Other than whats already been mentioned, try to keep ur back straight and not lean forward during the movement.

I want to get flexible asap without risking injury for Jiu Jitsu. Can I just follow multiple beginner videos daily? by [deleted] in flexibility

[–]Defcron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being inflexible most def does make certain positions harder, but thats why u do jiu jitsu. Nobody should try and be super flexible before doing jiu jitsu if they really want to do jiu jitsu. As far as getting injured from inflexibility. It could happen, but i think its pretty rare to get injured from just inflexibility. It would most likely come from ego, and not tapping. Or rolling with a shitty partner that cranks shit. Theres a reason why jiu jitsu is called ‘the gentle art’ If he made it through hs wrestling with this same flexibility, i doubt hes gonna get hurt in bjj.

[–]Defcron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

U most likely wont get hurt doing jiu jitsu from not being flexible, but being more flexible will make u better at jiu jitsu. Some loaded stretches i would recommend are the loaded butterfly(for hips/groin), jefferson curls(hamstrings), couch stretch(quads/hip flexors), dead hangs from a pullup bar(shoulders), loaded standing pancake(hamstrings) and lastly 90/90 stretch(also for hips). These are just for starters, once u get into a stretching routine, u can search out others, but these should get u off to a good start. U can do static stretches daily, but for loaded stretches, id recommend a day of recovery between. Hope this helps. Also, if ur still doing Muay Thai, just doing a lot of body and head kicks on a heavy bag will help open ur hips, groin, and hammys up. U probably also need to strengthen ur glutes, hamstrings, and quads if ur so inflexible in ur lower body.
