the tibialis stretch, it's for tib anterior, yeah? what do you do? not an easy muscle to stretch comfortably IME.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Nice! It's really helped my knees! Haven't noticed much very maximal gains but I have found some SL bounce again (then again I've been training for a minute now. Lol)

Don't want to hijack Coges' thread, but are ya'll doing any extra jumping/running outside of the program?

I think the biggest benefit of the program is getting knees and ankles healthy and allowing you to jump at a more consistent level. That's been my experience so far. I haven't trained consistently the last 3 months though so looking forward to getting back to my previous level.

I will be interested to see where it takes you though Chris given your already high level of vert.

Yes. Tib anterior. I hate this stretch as my left ankle is dodgy but it's the same as the picture below but with the toes elevated on something like a yoga block.

I think it should at the least balance my jumping (improving other plants). If it adds inches I'm STOKED for that but it's been a blessing for my knees already so worth every penny IMO.

LT3976, I still do some jumps in my warmups altho volume is way down. I'd LIKE to get some real jump sessions in but life is hectic currently. As long as your approach is solid in regards to not overdoing the jumping and quality>quantity I think you should be able to have a few jump days.

Yep. I'm pretty good on all the lower body standards. Need to get the leg raises and pressing standards to move on.

What about you?

Yea still on as well
I got away from the program for a bit so now I’m back pushing.  Nordics and rdl’s are proving the toughest for me to get to the standards
Thinking another 4-6 weeks at most and I’ll have the standards met across the board

Yeah I forgot about nordics haha. I'm the same. Another 4-6 and I should have them knocked off.

I nailed a lot of the quad dominant stuff on the first week as well as some core and the lower leg stuff. Nordics and garhammers are killing me lol!

Chris.....I'd say that's not surprising considering how well you get up.
Most of the quad and core stuff I'm very close to hitting standard on, lower leg and hamstring strength/flexibility is what's holding me back
