Im pretty meh to stretching.
What are the exercises or day to day things you notice it with?
How long does the pain stay around? Are you controlling yourself on the way down or just sliding? Do you have any general fatigue for the following days (like whole body kind of stuff). Diagnosed a chick once who did crazy amount of diamond pushups and slow lower eccentric pullups one day. I treated her foot. Rung her the next day she said she was fatigued etc etc asked if the acupuncture would have caused that...
I said no but lets try a long shot go ask your doctor to test you for Rhabdomyolysis. Doctor laughed her away but gave her a referral for the tests. Rung back 4 hours later asked her to rush to hospital. Was in there for the next 4-6 weeks. Kidney and liver function was about 1000x normal.
unlikely but worth clearing.
Any tingling pins and needles numbness (not the type of numbness I currently feel when watching the warriors).
Neck and shoulder movement full?

Bloody hell what a terrifying post!
I try and control myself on the way down but sometimes this depends on the level of fatigue.
Rest of the body feels ok. Managed to persuade the other half to rub the arms last night and that worked wonders.

Probably just old age then. If pain persists go see a physio (and say you injured it at a very specific point in time so ACC jump on board).
Unfortunately Aussie aren't on ACC so just PM me your address to send my invoice.

On it's way.
Reformer session with the mrs this avo. Range of motion has improved on the AB exercises. Sweet!

Really pleased that my Sunday Pilates sessions are genuinely producing some awesome benefits ( I'm not just saying this to make the mrs happy ).
My flexibility and core control are improving each week and in general I'm physically feeling awesome. She's adding more resistance bands and I'm going well, no more collapsing in a heap and even the shakes have gone. I can see why professional athletes swear by Pilates and yoga as great supplementary work to other stuff.
I genuinely feel my control and form in other exercises has improved no end too.

Did 3 x rope climbs after work ( dressed in jeans and a shirt ) with about 3-4 minutes rest in between. Got a weird look from a lady walking her dog on the last set. Then home for a couple of sets of one armed push ups in the kitchen while frying up a steak and having a nice glass of diet Ginga beer.
Devastatingly someone has moved ( stolen ) my tire that I use to flip so might have to pop down to the Rugby clubrooms and try and find another.
I guess that's what happens when you live in the Hutt.

The mrs has signed us up for Tango this weekend. Being a coordinated musician I'm sure I'll be fine. I just hope it's not one of those 'change partner' type deals like when we did Salsa and I got stuck with an enormous minga who I couldn't get my arms around much to her amusement.
( the mrs not the minga )
Trying to get the hang of pistol squats and failing miserably, no Pilates last Saturday on account of a family birthday thing and I fully intended to do dry July ( have been really good with the drinking lately ) but fucked up by having a couple of glasses of red on the first of July.
-
Pistol squats are fucking hard! And even harder without good ankle flexibility, which isn't something a lot of us work on 😁
Next time you are doing the rope climbs you could use the rope to give you minor assistance. That's how I see a lot of peeps learning them at the gym. Plus not trying to go to deep to soon. Giggity 👍
-
And good on you for saying yes to the tango bro. Enjoy the rewards!!

Overall flexibility is getting much better on account of the Pilates so will keep you all posted on my Pistol progress.

I don't know how those dancing couples can do all that without wanting to fark each other's brains out right after. That is some intense shit with some serious eye contact. Don't know how I'd be able to keep the footlong in check.

Went to one session, piked on the rest. Switched partner's and had to dance with a pile of old bones and a tubby minga respectively. I just don't think that kind of dancing fits with our culture, the blokes who attend look for the most part like a bunch of serial killers ( quiet, strangely dressed with centre parts ). Al Pacino they most certainly ain't.
Just not my cup of tea. Mrs took it well haha.

At least you gave it a shot. Would have been OK to do it together but it would be weird to get close and personal with someone else, particularly a tubby minga.
Interesting you mention the freak looking men there. My date last night does salsa and she said the same thing. I was thinking it would be Latino hunks, but apparently the complete opposite.

Well yeah when the swarthy Latino blokes do it they look quite natural and fair enough, it's their culture. Kiwi blokes ( and Aussies ) don't really fit the bill. We're all about repressed emotion, not smoldering gazes....

I posted a rope climbing vid on Fagbook, took it after work so in jeans, shirt and beanie and pretty much the only comments I got were naysayers doubting it was me cos you can't really see my face.
fluffybunnies.
As if I'm the kind of creep who'd film others working out.
