nah trust me, people with small hands need at least 15 in over the rim to throw it down, cause they need their hand over the ball in a downward motion to dunk

if i could palm the ball i can just use my wrist to dunk it in, but now i have to use my entire arm to throw it down

this is wrong and in fact makes no sense.

yeah fair enough, i know you've experimented. guess i'm just feeling a little high on stretching right now given my own recent/ongoing n=1.

did 60s crow hold instead of crow-to-forward-roll. more fun. struggled a little with front levers but that's not surprising after such a long layoff. should find a flatter section of floor to do them on. rushed stretching cause i had somewhere to be.

must redouble commitment to stretching.

Potentially the most repeated comment in my log that fails to be adhered to. It's a goal that just gets renewed like my car insurance policy without ever really using it.

yeah, it's funny: i went through a few years where i just decided that stretching and SMR were dumb and so i mobilized before workouts but never really stretched after. didn't seem to hurt me none. but after noticing the big change in my right wrist after just a couple of months of not-even-that-intensive stretching and movement, i'm back on the bandwagon. let's see how well i do.

i just finally quit stretching. forever. i finally gave up on the idea of stretching. I feel pretty good though, but I haven't been training hard consistently the last few months. i've had so many stretching related tweaks that I just decided, no mas.

:/

i don't believe you about "forever." you've certainly hurt yourself more stretching than anyone else i know -- a weird amount -- but i wonder if that's just because you need to find a better/healthier way for yourself to do it. your injuries often seem to come while you're trying to press and hold deeper/longer into a static stretch. the GMB approach i've found very healthy and helpful. it's gently dynamic and it's a lot to do with organization, e.g. using your quads and glutes to pull yourself into position for a deeper pancake, or using your bodyweight and back to pull yourself into a deeper posterior-shoulder stretch. ymmv.

have you read "stretch to win"?

back in the saddle

where there's smoke, there is generally fire.

obviously i have no proof beyond what's in the public record. just seems overwhelmingly likely that he's doped, given all the smoke around oregon project, most prominently from the propublica report a couple years ago.

do you weigh yourself at the same time when you do it?

oooh fun, getting to proficient/advanced in say five lifts seems like a very good goal indeed.
