Why did I lose flexibility in my Knee?
I was pretty flexible at one point in my left leg. In my jiu jitsu class we always started off on our knees or in guard position, something similar to what this guy is doing http://www.the-fitness-motivator.com/images/shin_stretch.jpg. Then one day I decide to kinda go over my techniques since I couldn't make it to practice everyday because I have college classes. So now I'm standing on my knees going into the basic position and I can't sit back. My left knee is tightening up like if I continue to sit back my tendons and muscles in my knee are going to rip apart, don't feel a thing in my right knee just my left. Then when I stand up to my feet the back of my left leg feels tight for a sec then loosens up on its own. Anybody have the same experience and know why I lost the flexibility in my leg in less then a couple of days?
Do gay guys like flexibility?
I agree with the others flexibility is good for your overall health and well being PLUS it allows for awesome sex to include self-oral which can be very hot solo or in group masturbation sessions. It add a nice bit of variety to masturbation techniques. Check out this educational web site on this matter: http://www.collegesexadvice.com/suck-dick.shtml. There also some good vids of the technique on gaytube. I usually use the wall or sofa leg support technique, the 2nd technique shown.
What are some techniques to increase flexibility for dancers?
When it comes to flexibility, one has to be careful not to go for it since I’ve helped out a few dancers who ended up in pain, in spite of stretching or going for range of motion.Natural range of motion is more likely the better state to be in.So check this out on how we reduce stiffness instantly which then leads to a comfortable range of motion and adequate flexibility.Plus, your moves will flow more effortlessly.See, regulating the nervous system - which is something we did as children so we could actually move well, gets kinda lost in the shuffle of life.Then we start to listen to all the people who say to stretch, but my dog never stretches. He’s doing an entirely different thing and so can we.Just follow down the link to see the big dog and the “p” word where all will be revealed. Woof!
Sprinter: Power vs Flexibility?
Hey guys I just want to ask something about which one wins: Power and Flexibility I know that to be a good sprinter, you need power, speed and technique and also flexibility But i see unexpected people in my school There's still many people who can run fast as sh*t even though they look so skinny (but they also look built still, but doesn't look like he goes to gym AT ALL). I thought that they can run really fast with ONLY flexibility. Because he's just so skinny compare to normal sprinters but can run so fast. I thought that they are really talented, but there's still people who was doing it for about 2 to 3 years. They are mostly run sub 11 seconds and 17 years old. So which one exactly is more beneficial for sprinter? P.S. I want only one answer, not like you need both of them. I want to know which one is better. Thanks!
Does lifting weights make you with less flexibility?
Yes doing some lifts, makes you unflexible. That is why a good athlete, trainer, exe should do dynamic lifts such as the power clean which makes your bodys fast twitch muscles work. Typical lifting only makes you muscles stronger and not your fast twitch muscles. Before and after every workout be sure to stretch and spend at least 1-2 days a week doing some sort of arobics to keep the flexibility up. Athletes at all levels are recomeneded to do a cardio/ arobic workout at least 1-2 days a week however this does not mean to stop lifting. Lift at least 3-4 days a week in order to get stronger. The gym should be your best friend if you want to acomplish your goals.
What style(s) of dance require(s) the most flexibility?
Okay so I'm fairly flexible(but not like a professional dancer flexible) and I want to join dance back up next year but I am unsure what style fits me best. I really want a style that can show off my flexibility so I can impress(bc I haven't danced in several years) I can only take two different styles/classes because it's a lot of money lol
What is the best strength, power, and flexibility training for a martial artist?
I don’t know, what are your goals as a martial artist? How strong are you already? How flexible? What do you weigh? How coordinated are you? Do you want to be a fighter? Competitive MMA or true hand-to-hand combat? How long have you trained, and in what style(s)? What is your body type? Age? Do you have any chronic injuries or physical challenges? What is your mindset? For instance, you could be an aggressive, type A personality who is offense oriented, or a gentle, laid back Aikido practitioner. You could be 5′10, 240 pounds and a judo black belt or you could be a 5′5, 125 pound striker. Maybe you aspire to be a grappler, and are good at “reading” permutations but you don’t have a good grip and thus lose your submission hold too frequently. All of these questions and issues will influence the program you ultimately design for yourself, and you should design a program based on good research. For instance, flexibility is important but it can be overdone and actually lead to injuries, so not all flexibility training is warranted or helpful. If you are already center muscle dominant and very tightly muscled and strong, certain types of weight training will just reinforce that and greatly limit you — especially your power. If you are light, flexible, very fast with full range of motion, you may overtrain and actually be working against strength and power. Example: a .22 caliber bullet may travel through the body it impacts, and even be lethal, but if that person does not fall immediately they could still come at you and do damage before they succumb. A much larger caliber round, like a .45, will move slower, dump more energy and knock down the body it impacts. I’ve seen a lot of very fast fighters not be able to deliver power because they don’t know how to dump energy into their opponent. They hit superficially hard and fast, and it looks impressive, but it doesn’t do the job in competition or real world combat. Whether your are on offense or defense, having good structure supported by a flexible, resilient musculature is advantageous in most situations and for most body types. I’m sure there are exceptions, but generally this is the case IMHO. Hope this helps. I know it doesn’t answer the specific question, but questions are more important than answers and hopefully I’ve raised some questions for you to consider. The answers will be easy once you know what the real questions are.
