^I wish my anatomy lecturer had been more like him.
Good work getting the first stretching related post in the thread, DFP. You beat me to it, and much more interesting than the boring research paper I was going to mention :D
After getting back into the stretching habit - thanks to a few physio sessions with bluerip00 - I'm enjoying more comfort in general, and have decided to really target hip flexibility this winter. I'll be working on glutes and hip flexors (as well as hamstrings) with a vengeance, mainly because I want to be able to sustain high pedalling forces whilst in an aero(ish) position, i) without it crippling my lower back, and ii) with minimal discomfort, and therefore more speed*.
Anyone else a big stretcher, or more of one than they used to be?
