Sounds stupid but stretch :/

I can now touch my toes easy when cold and palm the ground when warm because I stretch daily.

I also do back and hip stretches as well, has made a big diff for me.

Palm the ground with straight legs?!

I didn't think it was a big deal personally and not being able to do it was pretty poor in terms of flexibility.

Back when I was doing Karate it took me 10mths when I first started to get to my toes, I had THE worst flexibility.

I try and stretch regularly now as it pays dividends.

Stretching Poverty in my leg country is 3rd world for sure.

At your karate they weren't mean to you then. When I was doing budo yoseikan as a teen my teacher, Yoshiaki Unno ,pretty much fast tracked you to flexibillity via the pain method ha ha.. (he was a great guy tho).

I'll paste this here as I don't think anyone reads my build thread which is admittedly more a tracking tool for me, my stats and thoughts.

Well it was a mixed bag at the Fracture Clinic.

The good news is the metal work has not moved and the Dr is suggesting we wait another few months to give it a full year before making any calls.

The bad news is that he's also suggesting that removal might be the better long term solution because then there's no question of if it's causing me any irritation. That would mean up to 6wks off any impact sports/exercises etc, so no squatting and no DL. Everything else I could do and walking would be fine. I'm wondering if ham string and leg curls could be OK but I have no provision for doing those at home.

I'll be seeing the physio on Friday to talk about it more now that we know that at least the metal work is staying put.

Part of me wants it out never to have to worry about it again, part of me doesn't want 6 wks off when I'm just starting to get some momentum in things. Then I think well whats 6wks in the grand scheme of things if it means not having to think about the metal any more.

If I just go ahead and leave it in and then find out it's an issue say 5yrs down the track, it's a more serious surgery to remove it as the bone grows over/around it over that length of time. 1-3yrs is the ideal window for removal.

What would you do?

Better 6 weeks off NOW than 6 weeks off when you've made serious progress that you're really happy with. You'll have more to lose if you put it off, though the same could be argued that you'll get back into it much faster if you waited.

Personally, I'd do it now if it's causing irritation. If it wasn't causing irritation, I'd never* get it removed.

*as long as I continued training

EDIT: just read the last point again - remove it now.

I'm talking with the original surgeon also just to clarify a few things, as he's the local gun on these things.

I think I will get it removed, but I may wait to at least give it the full 12mths so everything around it is as strong as it can be when I go ahead and weaken the structure again.

Ad Troy: I'm happy with the progress I've made already, I started Squatting and DL 30kg remember... lol

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
