“It’s the same dream night after night…I walk out on my web, and suddenly a foot sticks — and then another foot sticks, and another and another and another…”
Although in my case it’s my knee that locks up, and it ends at two. Poor spiders.
I have this nightmare, too
PZ, how about a toyrantula!?!?

Noice! I had not seen that one.
I’ve been getting better at quad stretching. I’m not aggressively pursuing the deep “Asian” squat but have settled for seiza instead and it kinda isn’t very pleasant. Am I that far gone? I have improved though. But damn I’m tight as hell.
Deep squats always make me feel I’m in a rice krispies commercial of snap, crackle and pop. Gotta stretch the calves without going full Dan Marino (sorry). I will get there one day. Just don’t want to injure myself. Seiza is more my speed even if it hurts.
I am waking up and getting out of bed with less pain and enjoy picking stuff up while squatting instead of bending over as much.
I really think content creators conspired to tweak my algorithm to torture myself. I’m NOT showing any antihumane Asian squat videos. NOPE! But this guy is torturing me enough with his rendition of seiza:

My kneecaps will catapult into my drywall within a month. Damn you YT fitness gurus.
