Some time before xmas someone, it might have been Chris Stevenson, posted about a workout where they did a kick set with shoes on, reducing the flexibility of the ankle. He commented that his kicking speed was cut in half. I didn't get around to asking but have been wondering if that was literally true? If the difference is that large perhaps I'll start doing ankle stretches when we are assigned kick sets... :D

Chris....I threaten my college coach to this day with a lawsuit for how many times I almost drowned doing this stuff way back when!
You want a REALLY good torture? Ask John and Ande about Eddie Reece's use of small "carts" that the swimmers kneeled on and used their hands to "pull" themselves along and up the ramps of UT's football stadium...you GOTTA love the 80's! :dedhorse:
... we called 'em "wheels" when we did them at Cal in the '80s, and we rolled thru the puke from the football players on the stadium ramps... :bitching:
