this is a wierd question maybe but has a medical professional ever said anything at all about quadrobics?
i just know that in human pup safety courses they specifically dedicate a lot of time talking about wrist and hand injuries you can give yourself related to not playing properly and not using any wrist protection or support. MMA gloves are one of the most basic humanpup gears that they frequently stress is the Most important piece of gear you have because it's basically armor. and in humanpupplay, there is no running and jumping and parkour-type shit; youre just on the floor walking around or wrestling another dog. if its so easy to break your wrists doing that, imagine how easy it is to break your wrists with absolutely no protection whatsoever, running and jumping around?
(video from Gpup Alpha who is a humanpup educator AND doctor!)
iirc one of the entire points of the sport is to do it without protection to show off how adaptive or agile your body is. and honestly i think this is really terrible. this is a 1 way ticket to completely fucking up your wrists. again - if its easy to fuck up your wrists just by walking on your knuckles and knees, its even easier to do that when youre running and jumping and slamming your entire weight down onto your wrists without protection or support
i feel bad not having a real conclusion to this post. i want to say "go buy MMA gloves, go buy wrist support, go watch humanpup safety videos" but i am also not a medical professional and i have no idea what would work best here as protection against injury or longterm strain. maybe i'll say you should check in with a doctor before starting quadrobics and see what they recommend for wrist support because SOMETHING has to be better than forcing your entire body weight onto your hands and wrists this way (a fragile structure which has 8 bones btw!!)
be careful with your body. i dont care if you hate your body or do not identify with it. it is still a delicate machine that carries you through your life!!

Ride 748: The sixth and seventh place
Pag 1
1: Keep it up, Rokudai!!
It's past 9pm!!
2: Three hours left....!!
Until we complete the 1000km... there are still
3: 60km!!
Yeah!!
Pag 2
1: 20km in an hour... if we can run 4 laps per hour, we can do it!!
We can reach 1000km!!
Pag 3
1: Yeah!!
4: We can do it!!
Yeah!!
5: Gooo!! Do your best!!
55km left!! Go!!
Will their bottles be enough....
6: Those two can do it
Will they really complete the 1000km? Kinaka and Rokudai
Even though they're first years!!
Pag 4
1: There was also a moment where he seemed to be having a tough time, but Kinaka encouraged him
They looked so fired up now, right!?
They got back up!!
The look in their eyes was terrific!!
2: Sugimoto ran with determination
3: But... this fight is...
He... Sugimoto knows all that well
He's fighting understanding that
4: Kuaaaa
5: Garuaaa
Pag 5
1: It was probably the same for Danchiku
2: Danchiku watched Sohoku running for two years
And Sugimoto for three years....!!
4: So they chose that race!!
Pag 6
1: They chose to fight!!
3: Are you an idiot... Sugimoto
4: If you ... wanted to run with me at our third and last Inter High, you could have stuck behind me, easily, and take the goal that way
5: and become... a member... the “sixth man”
Pag 7
1: You chose a harsh way
2: You were thinking about the team....
4: You were thinking about what you needed to do....
5: That's just like you....
6: You know, Imaizumi, I think, I think it's necessary
7: For our third Inter High members this year, we definitely....!!
Pag 8
2: It's 10pm!!
40km left!!
Pag 9
2: Yeah!!
4: We can do it, Rokudai!!
Yeah!
Let's go, Rokudai!!
Yeah!
5: I confirmed it earlier when we passed through the goal – it's good news, so be glad!!
Yeah!
6: Good news!? Teh!?
7: We have already surpassed the third year Sugimoto-san!!
Pag 10
1: Huh!?
Is he resting? Or is he preserving his strength? We don't know, but anyway it looks like right now Sugimoto-san isn't on the course!!
2: For now, we....
3: Are sixth and seventh place
The “sixth place”....
4: Will become one of the Inter High members!!
Pag 11
1: Mem....
Really!?
2: Wait, teh, I'm getting dizzy
That... wouldn't that be amazing, teh!?
3: It's an hypothesis but, even if Sugimoto-san wants to chase us from here on, there's a “surpassing ban board”, so if we keep running then he can't catch up to us!!
And we'll secure the “sixth place”!!
4: You're so smart, Kinaka-kun!!
5: Right?!
6: Waaaa
A member... it's almost within reach, teh.... that's incredible, teh...!!
Pag 12
1: I'm so glad, teh, Kinaka-kun!!
Yeah!!
No, it's too soon to cry!!
2: I'm so glad we kept on running
There are still 40km left!! Don't lose your pace!!
3: Tears are for after the finish line!!
4: Ahh, it's here, teh... a blan comment, it's been a while
Oi!! I cheer you up and yet you hit me!!
5: But now it touches my heart!!
It's thanks to your encouragement, Kinaka-kun, that I arrived here, teh!!
6: Uhm!!
Pag 13
1: Let's aim for the Inter High!!
Yeah!!
3: Go
4: Go, Rokudai
Pag 14
1: It's only 40km left.... you can do it on your own, Rokudai
2: It hurts-!!
3: I reached my limit for the pain
All the “let's go”, “let's do it” and the encouragement were to deceive you
4: I had to
I've been having leg cramps for a while
5: The “Inter High”
6: Even though it's right before my eyes
It's so frustrating
Pag 15
2: Wha- Rokudai
You moved back before I noticed...
3: If you're tired and need to slow down, tell me it, teh
I'll push you and help you!!
4: Don't underestimate the “helping ability” of a former manager, teh!!
Pag 16
1: Rokudai!!
5: Rokudaiii!!
6: You mean to say “let's still go”!?
7: Is it connecting possibilities? Rokudai's hand!!
Pag 17
1: Don't cry, Kinaka Tsugunao, crying is for after the finish line!!
2: Ah!!
3: Alright, the climb is over, I'll pull you on the downhill!!
4: Yeah, teh!!
Pag 18
1: Waa-teh!? Suddenly I can't keep my balance!!
2: Rokudai!?
3: A flat tire!!
4: Huh, a flat tire!?
Your tires are screaming for the 1000km
Ahh
Dammit!! Mechanical troubles in a time like this!!
5: The tools to repair a flat tire are only at the goal!!
But with a flat tire, on the downhill....!!
We have no choice but to push it slowly downhill!!
Pag 19
1: Hurry!!
2: Ugh-
3: If we go so slow, Sugimoto-san might come!!
4: Sugimoto-san is chasing us, teh!!
Pag 20
1: Sugimoto won't come
2: I've come to bring you a message from Sugimoto
