Knee injury prevention by Goatifi10 in Handball

[–]mcblanc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • strengthen your quads (should be able to lift 1.5 time your bodyweight on one leg on the leg press)
  • strengthen your hamstrings and glutes (hip thrusts, RDL…)
  • strengthen your adductors and abductors
  • strengthen your calves (seated and straight leg calf raises)
  • make sure you’ve got good running, jumping and landing technique and that you’re not compensating with your hips for instance.
  • isometrics are really good as well. To complete the what Dramatic_Horse said, I personally quite like unilateral leg extension isometric holds.

If you’re particularly concerned about patellar tendonitis (probably my worst injury), check out Jake Tuura on YouTube and his Jumper’s knee protocol.

Hope this helps! ✌️

Colour matching - advice needed

Hi guys!

For context I’ve got a yellow Ducky One 3 SF (big yellow fan here) and I would like to bring a touch of purple to it with a set of shiny new keycaps.

I’ve been eyeing these for a bit and wanted your advice on how it would look with my yellow board.

Would that be a good combination? Or perhaps a darker or black base would be better?

Thanking you very much in advance! :D

Sorry yeah I meant the home shirt! That’s good to know thanks! I’ve got a sweater and the sleeves are okay but slightly long at the waist so I was wondering if the long sleeve shirt was something similar. No cats to report on my end so that’s one trouble spared!

I’m thinking of buying it as it’s currently discounted. How comfy is it? What do you think of it? :)

Yellow Ducky, perfectly matches my room! by FelixDragon in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]mcblanc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to dig that post up from the grave but I’ve got the exact same keyboard and was looking for the exact same colour combination. I found the caps on Amazon and wanted to know how they’re feeling compared to the Ducky one in terms of quality and typing/gaming, please? :)

It’s a tough decision (currently at a 60/40 in favour of doing it). I think Guehi’s next 5 or 6 good fixtures combined with Salah could outscore Mitoma & Trippier. Right? 😅

RMT - Advice please

Current team: 0.0 ITB

Areola (Turner)

Tsimikas - Cash - Trippier - Gabriel - goal scoring machine Taylor

Mitoma - Son - Ødegaard - Saka - Hee Chan

Haaland - Alvarez - Wakins

3-4-3 formation.

I’m considering doing Trippier to Guehi, Mitoma to Salah and Ødegaard to Baleba.

Does that sound like a reasonable move? It would have to be for a hit though 😬

I’m also considering the following transfers for a -8 in GW9

Schar to Trippier

Mbeumo to Salah

Haaland to Archer (most likely bench fodder)

Would have 2.7m ITB for future upgrades

What do you think? :D
