  • The Evolution Of Our Stretching | From Optimal Performance To Injury Avoidance

    The Evolution Of Our Stretching | From Optimal Performance To Injury Avoidance
    Jan 12 2025
    We're revisiting an old topic .... with some updates.

    In Episode #471 of 'Musings' we discuss: a previous episode from mid 2020 (#49) noting the changes in our perspectives, more on static/dynamic stretching, the specialised techniques of PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) & ballistic stretching, why anyone can achieve a reasonable level of flexibility, how we injured ourselves by not following our own advice and how Juan likes to clean and jerk babies.

    Very sad puppy this week, we miss your support :'(

  • Monthly Goals | January 2025

    Monthly Goals | January 2025
    Jan 5 2025

    It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.

    Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?
