"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Sunday stretchout
Woke up feeling great this morning; the best my joints have felt in a long time. For once nothing was talking to me and that was even better news considering my training yesterday. But I've been up for 6 hours or so and I started to feel a bit of DOMS settling in and I knew it was the perfect time to stretch and mobilize.
So:Lower body series first
1) back bend over stab ball; 4 min
2) foam roller; 3 min
3) Brettzell, two ways 5 min
4) Hamstring strap series : 5 min this is essential I now realize as they all are but this is a key
5) Straddle sits: all directions toes point and flex: 3 min
6) up dog with toes dorsi flexed 3 minutes
7)down dog : 4 minutes ( another essential one for my knee and back)
8) thai squat ( various foot widths) 4 minutes
9) side splits on floor; 2-3 min
10) side splits on back hips against wall 2 min ( love this one)
11) kneeling hip flexor stretch
12) Calf stretch toes on wall
thats it,lol. now onto the upper body after a short break. body already feels better. This work opens up the tightness better than anything, I just have to re direct my discipline back here again. I will.

Glad your feeling good. I dislike doms, especially the really bad ones that sneak up on you. I am living through it now and it ain't fun.
Love it Mr Rif =)
