Re: What should I buy at Lululemon?
I got a pair of their Kung-Fu pants as a Christmas gift last year, and really like them. They're like a nicer, lighter pair of sweat pants.

Re: Nike Metcon
Finally got mine. :kicking0:
I can see the hype now. I really like them. Could I have lived without them and done just fine in my Nano 3's? Yes. But I am still pleased with them overall. ...

Same here. (except different color) Road Runner said that they expect them to be in tomorrow (July 1) and then I should have them right after that. :pepper:

Re: Nike Metcon
Since I wanted the black/grey, I took your advice and pre-ordered from RoadRunner. (which, by going with them, I got 10% off too)
So, hopefully they should be shipping out next week. :pepper:

Re: Pain in 1 hip but not the other
Not what you want to hear, but it could be a torn labrum, or a hip impingement (FAI).
I only know this because I have both issues, in both hips. I had to get a MRI to find out for sure though.

Re: Adductor tightness
The best move that I have found for adductor rolling is to set a barbell at about waist height. Then hike a leg over it, and slowly roll the bar, smashing those muscles all the way down on both...

Re: Rehband Knee Sleeve Fit
I'd say that you want them to be snug, but certainly not cutting off the circulation. Can you still move in them? (i.e. doing air squats, etc.)
And I will wear mine for the entire time I am at...

Re: Best Mobility Tool!
I'll bet if you flipped it over and set it on your lap or a tabletop, then just ran your upper arm over it while it stays stationary, that might work. :shrug:
