To quote:

1) The origins and insertions of the hamstrings and rectus femoris allow them to extend the hip and knee simultaneously, even though their actions oppose each other.

2) Two joint muscles allow force from single joint muscles to be transmitted to joints they wouldn’t otherwise be able to effect.  For example, the rectus femoris allows the glutes to help extend the knee.

3) You can put these principles to work for you by learning the best way to grind through your sticking point on a squat

4) Because two joint muscles transmit force throughout all of your hip and thigh musculature, squats aren’t truly knee or hip dominant, regardless of how they look or what the external torques at the joints are.

I haven't jumped in a gym in... ...... 2 years I think. And before that I haven't jumped in a gym for 5 years.

I swear whenever I see Roy Jones JR I want to take up boxing.

Can I get to a boxing club and just train there without going into actual fights and have my cranium cracked and liver dispatched from my body? Although a lot of boxing clubs here are absolutely horrible, in terms of what people are in them (everybody, trainers, boxers etc, are absolutely hideous human beings that you don't want to associate with in any way).

Roy Jones JR is my favorite boxer of all time... he's just, I don't know, amazing, looks unreal at times, has has a great combination of savagery, athleticism and "swagger"/arrogance.

I paused it right here:

I used my TENS unit around my left hip yeterday.. and the niggles ive felt all week have disappeared overnight. That's cool. I love this thing, acole you're the man for suggesting it! I use it on my lower back regularly and im good there too

Oh thanks mate! I forgotten I mentioned that to Raptor I think. It's not magic but I think the increased blood flow helps. There's all sorts of reps and schemes to use it but I just crank it to just below intolerable and go for 10-15mins.

What? What's a "TENS" unit?
