I took some measurements today and contrary to Mr. Six Months' hypothesis, I've made some great gains in the flexibility department in three weeks. My over/under is down from four inches to just one-and-a-half. More importantly, I don't feel like I'm playing a prank on my girlfriend, who is doing the measuring. The first time we measured, I felt like my left arm was locked into place. You know, sometimes you feel like you can reach harder and you're almost there. Not me. I felt like I was frozen in carbonite. In the other direction, I have a solid three-knuckle overlap. There's a joke in there somewhere. Go for it in the comments.
Now on to the sit-n-reach. It's still feeling more like the hunch-n-groan, but I've managed to decrease my deficit from six-n-half inches to four-n-heif. Progress. Still straining. Maybe I should call this the 'indy stiffy' stretch for extra motivation. ('Indy Stiffy' also doesn't have a lewd Urban Dictionary deffinition. I might have to get on that.) Tomorrow, a word on the rampant performance enhancing drug use going on in this competition. With myself.
I'm excited for the next post, considering the legalization of certain muscle relaxers in your state.
