Hey Supplenesses,

Today’s mission is to see if you can rig up a self- thomas test on your kitchen table.  A super friend could certainly help hold that leg down as well.  Hammer that short anterior hip, it’s the analog to the high hamstring.

Test/retest:  Try lunging, squatting, or running. The difference is shocking.

Standard setup:  2 minutes per mob, contract relax ‘em if you got ‘em.

    hey i posted before with problems with turf toe. i did about 7 sessions putting foot in ice water, as well as rolling it on ball and stretching the toe while i pressed down on baseball. i think these helped. last weekend i played two soccer games full length with no problems. today i was gonna do some jump training but i felt pain in toe so held off. guess i have to stick with the baseball rolling at least. thanks for help.

    Yo K-Slizzle, since there’s 100 episodes to go, I’m just wondering if you could bring it home with some of that legendary humour that makes me almost spit my coffee all over my computer screen! Come on K-Star, you know that guy that makes serious m-wod videos without any jokes…..”don’t be that guy” hahaha

    Hi! Love your blog!
    So helpful. I started recently CFE for running but forced it a little bit and got my achilles painfull and swollen.
    I’m working on them (stretch, releasing adherences, ice…) and it works.
    My question is: how long should I wait before running again, assuming i’ll be very careful and progressive with the run?
    Thank you
