  • I am also 6’7"… Ish, haha. Tagged as fellow tall. There’s your explanation.

    I am exactly 2m. So just shy, but more than 6’6".

    I am actually mostly body, so my butts lower than yours. Idk, I’m curious if this is better or worse for my hamstring in a cramp? Idk if the back muscles it connects to affect it or not lol. Idk if it makes it worse either way though.

    My go to is to Indian leg wrestle a wall when it cramps up. Like I scoot my ass past the wall and raise my cramping leg to get my heel locked onto the wall past 90° and force my knee to lock (with my hands if I need to which, for anyone reading that has never experienced this, is basically necessary. Your hamstring is stronger than most of your leg, save your groin, but it’s basically unable to affect the hamstring in a cramp. So your biceps and triceps are necessary sometimes.)

    The physics make less sense to me but I actually end up getting relief putting my calf on the arm of a couch while I crunch my abs forward as hard as I can. Having a partner hold you in place here would be ideal as far as I’ve felt.

    Cheers homie. Good luck. The world was designed for a max of 6’5". We have it ok. But damn. Cheers.


  • With all muscle cramps. Do what feels counterintuitive.

    The muscle contracts/tightens. Stretching it hurts more, but it is what must be done.

    For when someone reading this has a hamstring cramp… You might wanna figure out that stretch ahead of time. It’s a bit heftier than the calf muscle and puts up a better fight.







  • Under promise and over deliver is still king.

    “I cannot guarantee something won’t go sideways. I need at least 3 weekends of overtime available to be certain before it’s released.”

    Deliver it 10 days later. Or 12, after relaxing for a day or two.

    Your timeframe stands. New project? Do it again. Give yourself ~100-150% extra room.






  • I hate that you want to fit your music into a label so badly.

    When you do that, you make artistic compromises to appeal to more people who listen to that genre. Don’t do that.

    Just make music.

    Always loved btbam referring to themselves as adult contemporary progressive hardcore metal. Just make it up. Let the fans decide. And when they do, ignore it.

    Dont make art to appease fans. Just make art.

    I enjoyed it 😎
