@lokifish I actually did that, never heard anything. Got told a while ago by staff that I was wanted as a builder. Asked about it a couple of weeks ago privately, the staff ignored me. It's like I used to be awesome but now they want me to leave, so I am leaving, gradually. If I'm not good enough for RO, then I don't want to be here anymore, but I kind of got addicted so I slowly have to get off. But there's a meeting next week... ... View more

Are you okay @lokifish? If you need to talk I'm happy to listen, but if it's tough times related and we have to talk in that section, I'm hoping someone else can help you instead :) (sorry) ... View more

I know about strength training in general, not specifically for gymnastics. I take you don't mirror train @Ben-RO? By that I mean only train the muscles on the front of your body. At the gym, all a lot of guys do is just bicep curl and bench press. Nothing functional about a bicep curl :P   For general general strength... -start with learning movement patterns before adding weight. Getting the right muscle requirement, developing motor neuron pathways -hypertrophy, trying to increase muscle size -strength, training specifically to increase muscle strength -power, lower weight but increasing speed of movement - need a good strenth base to do power training with rates   Ever heard of the velocity force curve (I think that's what it's called)? ...

Okay Im not going to even try to compete with that..... Exercise is my speciality, not learning enzymes and DNA synthesis @Ben-RO... haven't done suff like that since first year uni, but can talk about nuerons, motor units, and mitcondria in muscle cells.   The books about special tests for muscles and joints ...

Sorry @Ben-RO but I couldn't let you get away with that mistake. I'm actually not that much of a nerd; well if I was I probably never would have got yelled at by parents for not getting dux at school.   BUT I bought another anatomy book for uni :D ... View more

You have eight carpal bones in the wrist, 5 metacarpal bones in the hand and then bones in the fingers (3 in each finger and two in the thumb) are phalanges. The phalanges are just referred to as proximal, middle and distal. The metarcarpals are just numbered 1-5.   The carpal bones have names - a little saying I was taught first year uni to remember the order... Sally Left The Party To Take Cathy Home... Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezuim, trapezoid, hamate.   I'll do the ankle later (it refers to tarsal and metatarsals). ... View more

Metatarsals are in the feet @Ben-RO!!!!! Seriously, I think you need more coffee today :P ... View more

@Ben-ROI don't do rest days if I can avoid them, everything just falls apart, so I've gone to the gym (did weights), and now I'm at uni for an hour to make sure I do prep for Monday ... View more

Thanks @DruidChild!   Right now I'm really sick and can't go running because I can't breathe properly. When I get sick my mental health cops it so I called my case manager - now I have permission to be lazy all day. So I've already found a few pieces for my puzzle, but I'm still going to work tonight because if I called in sick I'd have to find a replacement :( ... View more

@Ben-RO the atlas sits on top of the axis right? And it allows you to turn your head/ neck! The atlas and axis are also known as C1 and C2, they're cervical vertebra. Have you learnt the bones in the wrist yet or what about the ankle?  The ankle - your achilles attaches to the calcaneous which is the bone at the back of your heel, the talus sits on top of that   I don't understand what the memory palace technique is @RevzZ? ...
