Perhaps all of us have been on a squad at some time in our lives and had to be exposed to what is called the cankle. Those of you that don't know what a cankle is exactly - it's when the calf and the ankle sort of merge and there is no clear definition of where one ends and the other begins.

What can we do to help our coaches live a more carefree life without the worry of the cankle? Does anyone have any suggestions or exercises we could reccommend?

Oh yeah, regionals is a few days away, good luck to everyone and I look forward to the responses.

A strict diet of Cabbage, and daily exercise in a 85 degree wrestling room should do the trick.


Oh snap.

The only right answer.

Do not be ashamed of your cankles. Only when you embrace your cankles will you realize their true power. When you learn to use the cankles in your favor, it is like finally acquiring the Magic Sword in "The Legend of Zelda" for NES.

I agree if you learn to use the cankle you will be at an advantage. But if you are just being a fat lazy guy you should get on the stair stepper and do some calf raises for a while. What about some of these young coaches with bad receeding hair lines. Some look like they are growing out their skulletts.

Super D, I am jealous of your cankles. I am stuck with bird legs

Alas, I, too, have definition between ankles and calves. This saddens me deeply, even though it allows me greater mobility. I am more susceptible to injury, though. Have you ever heard of someone spraining or breaking a cankle?

Off-topic, but what would be the definition of my condition? Instead of a calf-ankle continuity, I have a Chest/Belly/Hip continuity. I usually say that I have a "keg" instead of a "six-pack", but there must be a better title.

The cankles in our matroom roam wild and free, as we have passed laws that do not infringe on the rights of those wrestlers with cankles.

Sadly, I was well on my way to cankledom, until I had to drop some weight. Unfortunately you can now see each little tendon in my foot, and my cankles will never reach their full potential. *sigh.*

Now here's a question: who's the tiniest person you've ever seen with cankles?
