processed a memory of missing someone when I was 9 once and somehow my hamstrings relaxed more than ever before I can raise my leg 30-40 degrees more than I’ve ever been able to what even is the human body

the self-therapy was ~2h and fairly intense but had nothing to do with my hamstrings. Only noticed after when I went on a jog and realized I was twice as bendy as I’ve ever been

My AT coach said she doesn’t understand why men so universally have trouble with hamstring and leg stuff, she said it doesn’t seem to make sense anatomically and that it seems more cultural or habitual

Like men go to some basic yoga class where all the women are like oh cool let’s do a bit of downward dog and the men (me) are like holy jesus this is the most painful horror I’ve ever experienced

I can imagine a men’s group session focusing on just this specific experience

it’s true — men’s hamstrings are not “shorter;” the phenomenon has always seemed to me like it must be occurring on a nervous-system level
