#Warmup stretches

(disclaimer: I am only in the middle of thriller bark, so I don't know if this has been touched on.)

so, funny thing about monkey d Luffy

this motherfucker usually does yoga/warmup stretches before a fight gets serious. If you have a decent grasp of how muscles work in relation to yoga, then you probably know that muscles are semi elastic, meaning that they stretch, and take a while to return to usual, allowing for better workouts, unlike something elastic like a rubber band that returns to normal immediately. Monkey d Luffy is elastic. He returns to normal immediately after stretches. Therefore, yoga and warmup stretches have no effect on Luffy, so he either does not realize this and does it out of habit, or he's doing it for dramatic effect

I do not think that Luffy is smart enough to realize this, so the latter is probably correct. Strangely, despise him probably knowing how muscles usually work in a normal human, chopper has never brought it up or asked Luffy about it, so either chopper has not realized either, or he just doesn't bring it up for some reason

Warmups are just as important to artists as they are to athletes! Get loose and go nuts to prep your hand and brain before diving in on a project.

Here are some of my warmups! Prepping for a two day draw-a-thon!

you are my jock icon, thanks for existing. I previously conceptualized jogging as a dreadful activity, to be avoided at all costs, but have been jogging since November and just did 10km today. Hurray, it’s actually fun. Anyway, does your shoulder ever hurt while jogging? This seems to be the main part of my body that bothers me and not sure why.

HEY THAT'S AMAZING GO YOU! I remember the first time I finished a 10k run and immediately had to go brag to 3 people about it because I felt SO powerful. I'm legit honoured you decided to share this with me, I got this ask and immediately had to walk it off and giggle about it. THANK YOU

as for your question: sometimes, yeah! It usually happens if my back is a bit stiff. It was a bigger issue for me as a running novice, and gradually went down as I learned to 'check in' with my body during a run every ten minutes or so — are your shoulders pulled up? is your neck or back tense? Also: if you wear a bra, are the straps digging uncomfortably into your shoulder and maybe you're compensating for that? IME, it also helps to do some neck circles + arm swings as part of your warmup before longer / intense runs (I do those, leg swings, and hip circles, takes like 2 mins total) and to stretch your back / spine after a run or during the week.

...but even with all of that, sometimes it just happens. If I'm running in the park on sunday mornings I'd see minimum 5 people rolling their shoulders or doing arm swings at some point mid-run because it's so common. Especially over longer runs

Remember to loosen up those paws before jumping into your art!

Warmup sketches are just as important to your brain as stretching those quads before a run!
