Look who's got a promotion!

"David! Hi!" "Hi. Um - I thought you had a shampoo commercial?" "One job leads to another. I've just been hired to voice all the female team members in a superhero cartoon!" "Wow, that's great!"

"Color me impressed, Max. I'd almost given up on his coming round." "Slow and steady wins the race."

"I'll give the littles a head's up, but I'm afraid Flavia's favorite cartoon is about some kind of sapient beach ball." "Oh, I met the woman who does that voice! She's a hoot."

"I'm…really glad you and Max are friends again, David. I hate not inviting you to parties." "I hate not being invited. And I know I was being stupid. You had a choice, you made it, it's my job to accept that. Sorry it took so long."

The trouble is…the trouble is… But does it need to be trouble? It's just tenderness. David's not like her other friends, why should she feel exactly the same about him as about Scot or Dixie?

"Hey, remember that song about those constellations? They're supposed to be really bright tonight. We may be able to see them from the front walk tonight!" "I'm game to try. Max -?" "I'm for bed, guys. I don't think the cloud cover's going to let you see a thing."

VeronaHills, Round Four: Flexor

Max felt the metallic caress of his engagement ring as he splashed cold water on his face.

Having sex with Tybalt on an outdoor sofa at midnight was an impressive, impulsive climax of the tension that merely bubbled under in their study group days. One knock at the cabin door, two bottles of Capulet wine, and three hours of conversation led to Max dancing his fingers across Tybalt's cutting cheekbones. A delivery of a housewarming gift unlocked a fiery heat that crackled on a creaky couch; Max now wished he'd never opened the door to the blaze.

The sink suddenly spat water from anywhere but the tap. Max leaned into the spray as he clumsily worked at the steel with a wrench. A handyman he was not - and he wasn't making for a good husband at this rate, either.

Tybalt left their encounter with a stride of pride. Max gathered his baseball cap and clothing from the ground and fled to the kitchen sink. Mitch was going to arrive in the morning, none the wiser to the smokescreen Max was cultivating while he figured out how to put what he'd done into words. They weren't his specialty - actions spoke louder.

After struggling on academic probation for a little while, Max earned his physics degree in the end.

He moved to a flat in Belladonna to begin his adult life. Although he'd majored in physics, his dream was to become a personal trainer.

The top 6 reasons we like hills for training ankle rocker and hip extension

1. Hills do not cost money and are almost always readily available : )

2. Being outside is good for your health

3. Hills do not pull the hip into extension and place a stretch (pull) on the anterior hip musculature including the rectus femoris, iliopsoas and iliacus. This causes a slow stretch of the muscle, activating the muscle spindles (Ia afferents) and causing a muscle contraction via the stretch reflex. This will inhibit the posterior compartment of hip extensors (especially the glute max) through reciprocal inhibition, making it difficult to fire them.

4. A hill does not force your knee into extension, eliciting a stretch reflex in the hamstrings like a treadmill does

5. A hill naturally puts the ankle into dorsiflexion, and, along with active pulling up of the toes, helps you to get more into your anterior compartment and eliminates the tendency of the ankle being pulled into dorsiflexion (like with a treadmill) which would initiate a stretch reflex in the gastroc/soleus and long flexors.

6. The increased hip flexor requirement of going uphill gives you more opportunity to engage the abs before the psoas and rectus femoris/TFL and on the stance phase leg, you can get an increased stretch of those muscles

Tips for picking the right hill and using it to your advantage

When just starting out, try and pick an incline that does not exceed the ankle dorsiflexion available to the patient/client

It’s OK if it’s uncomfortable, but not if its painful

Concentrate on pulling up the toes and dorsiflexing the ankle

Squeeze your glute at heel strike and toe off

leave your stance phase heel on the ground as long as possible

Place your hands on your abs and concentrate on activating them PRIOR to flexing your hip

Max Flexor

a real tough and quiet professional punch boy/gym-rat. spends a lot of time standing in front of mirrors just straight up flexing. during college his finest hour was the creation of a finely tuned 7-day workout plan that he still currently uses, consisting of: chest day, leg day, arm day, core day, pretending not to have big gay feelings for your best friend and fully drunk-writing sad yet vague blog posts about it day, rest day, arm day (again) and according to him it’s going.... uh... great... haha....
