@@theonlymegumegu you’re welcome 🤣

@@mtbninjawarrior completely agree with all of that haha. Happy new year!

@@NickCoyour thank you! We did and I hope you did as well

@@SydneyOlson Awesome! I know you don't know me from anything, but me and my wife were just discussing this today and we realized we had one of the best Christmas seasons of our life this year. Part of that was we paired down how many gatherings we were a part of to a bare minimum and really just focused on us and our 2 girls. It was a good time. Anyway, looking forward to more videos from you in the new year!

@@matthewbaynham6286 haha thank you for the concern! The condensation isn’t on the inside, there are sprinklers outside that hit the windows every morning.

@SydneyOlson ok, cool

@@minitimgek4945 haha the more attempts, the more ingrained it becomes

@@bulletproof1581 thanks for the tips! I stretch my calves a ton but not so much the arches of my feet(they’re completely flat lol) so I’ll work on that

​@@SydneyOlson Are you actually stretching just before you train though ? if not then you absolutely should, your body naturally reverts to a less flexible state after stretching, so stretching just before you train will actually help your body out way more then any other time, also you shouldn't push your stretching to any extreme degree, muscle tearing damage also happens through extreme stretching not just extreme training, so treat stretching like a relaxation massage where you're trying to relax the brain and muscles, flexibility is a thing you gain over time, you don't have to try and be elite ASAP. Now if none of this is making a difference, then your problem is most likely your warm ups being too quick, so basically you need to have much higher reps involved to stretch the circumference of your muscles, so you need to start a training session with some very tiny plyo jumps, you have to do a minimum of 50 reps and only to 75% effort, so once you start to feel the tiniest little leg burn/pump you stop, now it really doesn't matter what range of motion you use to get to 50 reps, all that matters is that you're putting such little stress on your body, that you're able to get to 50 reps and over easily, now once you're fully recovered from the plyo's, you do another 50 reps but this time with calf jumps, kinda like rope skipping but you try to mentally put more emphasis on the calves more. This will be a game change for you I'm assuming because flexibility doesn't just apply to muscle length, flexibility and performance also majorly applies to circumference, and opening up a muscle and allowing it to handle way more blood, this makes for a stronger more stable muscle once you contract around the extra blood, it's just like how a balloon feels less squishy the more air you have in it. I wouldn't be surprised of both these warm up tools have you feeling amazing during training, and I can't wait to see you progress way higher then you expected 😁you're doing a damn good job so far 👌

@@4thEyeVision thanks for listening!

@@SydneyOlson 👍👍
