I could never understand how people can eat... stuff like that.

meat and vegetables? what do you eat?

I have a very limited variety of food... I usually eat mashed potatoes with meat and some onion/cucumber/cabbage or soup. Other than that, plenty of cheese and bread and eggs. That's about it.

I actually love that you're doing that... that's something I should do for one-leg jumping, which is very isometric in nature in the plant, which is where I usually fail.

Right, I feel like that too

What? You people never get tonsilitis drinking cold water? I had that for over 20-30 times in my life.

When I think of you as a glittery eyed old wife telling stores of yore, a lot of things fall into place lol.

So I get that you NEVER got tonsilitis from cold water?

Won't you get tonsilitis?

What's your range of motion with that weight?

Well, I don't think that's the issue... I think the mobility/flexibility is the issue (in the sense that no matter how hard you'd try, that would still be your maximal extension at this point).

And I think maybe this is the greatest reason why people with big quads often times seem "unathletic" - that much muscle mass in the quads, unless diligently managed, will start become overactive and produce a high "stiffness" force on the hip joint, preventing maximal hip hyperextension (in other words - hip flexor tightness).
