    This subreddit sucks

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 04:16 PM PDT

    There's a rule CLEARLY stating that this is not a porn sub. Yet under almost 99% of the posts there's always one creepy asshole who simply CAN'T resist letting us know about his boner.

    Mods are doing a horrible job of monitoring/deleting/banning. Why are these predators not getting banned?!

    This sub sucks. Better watch YouTube tutorials and let this subreddit die. I strongly urge all women to leave this sub.

    It's an absolute nightmare to be on here.

    Ankle stretch to go with starting stretching

    Posted: 24 Jul 2020 02:04 AM PDT

    I'm completely new to stretching and I just began "starting stretching" as well as "starting mobility". I really like them and as it's recommended at the end I'd like to add in some kind of ankle stretch. I play a lot of basketball and my feet always come back hurting and stiff after so hopefully this along with the mobility work will help out a bit. Again, I'm very new to this so any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks!

    the angle isn’t straight on the left. and i think it’s cut off the right, so may not do me any justice. but anyway i was just wondering how to straighten that back leg? is that something i focus on now? trying very hard to keep my hips squared.

    Are going to begin "Starting Stretching", but I really need to nerve floss for the pike. How should I proceed?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 06:04 AM PDT

    I've just begun bodyweight training, so I thought that I might just as well do your "Starting stretching" and its complimentary mobility routine as well. The only issue that I have is that I can't stretch my hamstrings due to a burning pain just behind my knees. I've looked around and I might have a pinched nerve.
    I can even feel it when I do my front leg swings.

    Questions:

    Should I still do the Standing Pike exercise and the nerve flosses as well, or is that a bad idea? Should I do other replacement exercises instead?

    I'm looking around for effective nerve flossing techniques/routines, specifically for people in my situation, what would you recommend?

    What is a realistic amount of time before I'll see any sort of results? I'm guessing 4-6 months, but I'm also a bit of a pessimist.

    One of my goals is to be able to do a proper toe touch, maybe even a Pike some day.

    Yoga is Waterbending. Or bending in general.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 10:05 AM PDT

    I enjoyed it more, because it seemed so similar with waterbending push/pull movements and it feels like i am actively controlling something external (but in fact yoga is actually kind of like taking control of your own body, or smoothly controlling yourself internally).

    Very flowy. I like it. I just came here to share that little rewarding feeling like I'm doing a heckin Katara when I practice yoga.

    Stretching my ankle without (re)injuring my calf?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 06:06 AM PDT

    I am thoroughly annoyed by my right ankle and calf and I hope you folks can help me out.

    My right ankle has very limited flexibility. It's very noticeable when I squat: I can't get to parallel and my right knee falls inward. When I put a small block under my heels I can squat fine (enough). I also notice it when doing clockwise crossovers on skates.

    The difference might be because I usually do my crossovers counter clockwise (playing roller derby made my body even more asymmetrical). I also think I've had a (small) tear in my right calf about 3/4 years ago. It felt like a painful knot in my calf that didn't go away after a couple of days. Giving it rest and taping it helped, and after a week or three it was gone.

    I only started really noticing the difference in flexibility last year when I started weight training. I tried to solve it with stretching and I did that a couple of times for a few weeks. However: the knot in my calf came back. It didn't hurt that much but it severely limited my skating. I also didn't really see any improvement. So I stopped stretching and with a few weeks my calf felt normal again.

    That didn't solve anything, so last week I tried this again, this time going slower than before: I did two stretches (standing wall with my foot up against a wall, and one with my foot flat while bending my knee). I hold those for 30 seconds. After that I did my normal squat workout. The day after I felt a slight stiffness and pain in my calf.

    I hope you understand how this annoys me. I really want to be able to work towards solving it, but I can't really find any info that fits this specific situation. I figure I should do something with my calf maybe? But I have no idea what.

    Does anyone have any tips?
