Sounds stupid but stretch :/

I can now touch my toes easy when cold and palm the ground when warm because I stretch daily.

I also do back and hip stretches as well, has made a big diff for me.

Palm the ground with straight legs?!

I didn't think it was a big deal personally and not being able to do it was pretty poor in terms of flexibility.

Back when I was doing Karate it took me 10mths when I first started to get to my toes, I had THE worst flexibility.

I try and stretch regularly now as it pays dividends.

Stretching Poverty in my leg country is 3rd world for sure.

At your karate they weren't mean to you then. When I was doing budo yoseikan as a teen my teacher, Yoshiaki Unno ,pretty much fast tracked you to flexibillity via the pain method ha ha.. (he was a great guy tho).

I'll paste this here as I don't think anyone reads my build thread which is admittedly more a tracking tool for me, my stats and thoughts.

Well it was a mixed bag at the Fracture Clinic.

The good news is the metal work has not moved and the Dr is suggesting we wait another few months to give it a full year before making any calls.

The bad news is that he's also suggesting that removal might be the better long term solution because then there's no question of if it's causing me any irritation. That would mean up to 6wks off any impact sports/exercises etc, so no squatting and no DL. Everything else I could do and walking would be fine. I'm wondering if ham string and leg curls could be OK but I have no provision for doing those at home.

I'll be seeing the physio on Friday to talk about it more now that we know that at least the metal work is staying put.

Part of me wants it out never to have to worry about it again, part of me doesn't want 6 wks off when I'm just starting to get some momentum in things. Then I think well whats 6wks in the grand scheme of things if it means not having to think about the metal any more.

If I just go ahead and leave it in and then find out it's an issue say 5yrs down the track, it's a more serious surgery to remove it as the bone grows over/around it over that length of time. 1-3yrs is the ideal window for removal.

What would you do?

Better 6 weeks off NOW than 6 weeks off when you've made serious progress that you're really happy with. You'll have more to lose if you put it off, though the same could be argued that you'll get back into it much faster if you waited.

Personally, I'd do it now if it's causing irritation. If it wasn't causing irritation, I'd never* get it removed.

*as long as I continued training

EDIT: just read the last point again - remove it now.

I'm talking with the original surgeon also just to clarify a few things, as he's the local gun on these things.

I think I will get it removed, but I may wait to at least give it the full 12mths so everything around it is as strong as it can be when I go ahead and weaken the structure again.

Ad Troy: I'm happy with the progress I've made already, I started Squatting and DL 30kg remember... lol

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
