Edging, RK, & Hindi Squat Log

**Anklepain** · 04-02-2019

Almost same routine im doing. Sleeping pillow/planket under the knee is something i have thinking about, thanks for reminder.

Sitting job is the big problem IMO. I dont know why. It just doesnt feel right. It makes my legs weak and pelvis tight after working day. Tomorrow im starting to work at home the first time. Im planning to work in hindu squat position for a whole 6h. Lets see how it works.

I have same problem with hindi squat also. My solution is holding doorway and having foam roller under my anus when doing hindi squat.

No I do them with no variation. I'm very active (gym, running, stretching, etc) so I'm in pretty good shape. It's really just the hip flexors that are in the way. I keep stress in my upperback/traps, pelvic floor, hips, and sometimes the glutes.

And yeah, I get random IKs throughout the day with no stimulation. Not as frequently as a few years ago, but they're definitely there. Sometimes I get them while driving, too. Just random times.

That's good to hear the frequent pissing subsides after some time. I'd hate to be using the bathroom this many times lol

Holy crap!!! Six hours is intense! That'll give you some quick results in terms of relaxing the floor. Great idea.

For the squat, I spread the legs with my elbows, and put my hands together like I'm praying. It helps with balance I think. But if it gets to be too much, I'll for sure hold on to something. Thanks for the input.

Congrats on working from home. That's fucking awesome.

Wouldn't a stretch that long actually be bad? Can tear something if not careful.

6hrs in a squat will probably injure you, unless you have conditioned your body for it gradually over time.

I havent heard anybody report it would be a bad staying in hindi squat position too long. Vice versa, many are saying that deep squat position is the normal resting position.

I think if you listen to your body, are aware of what it’s feeling and make adjustments, then it’s not likely you’ll be injured. I did tennis ball massage around six hours a day (on commutes and at work) for a couple months. I don’t think I would have made so much progress so quickly without doing that. If I felt sore the next day from any of my stretching, I dialed it back.

All areas from the anus to the balls. Sides and along the middle. I moved the ball around every so often.

It wasn't good for me. I did two sets of ten minute squats for the first time and my eq was affected badly, i also had sensations of needing to urinate when there was no urine. Maybe your results will be different, be careful.
