Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: JUSTIN DARLINGTON over 6'10" guy...neck near rim
« on: June 22, 2010, 10:17:33 pm »
Not to be a killjoy, but it seems a little bit fake. The rim looks a couple of inches short.

Still, either way, it's dirty.

I'm gonna take a while to re-introduce loading but half squats/RDL's would probably be a good place to start once it feels okay again. Good tips though, wouldn't have thought to just reduce ROM. In other words, I'm dumb.   :D

Today:

warm up
none

work
circuit x3 of
pushups x20
crunches x40
L plank x30s
R plank x30s
leg lowers x10

cool down
full body stretch
foam roll upper legs

With little kids, it helps that they weigh like 40 pounds. I think it was Lyle who pointed out that most 7-year-old girl gymnasts can embarrass the shit out of most well-trained adult men in bodyweight strength stuff.

Word, thanks man.

After taking a few days off, it's time to figure out how I'm going to work around this thing. It's still uncomfortable, but no pain except on extreme dorsiflexion/eversion and plantar flexion/inversion. Any recommendations for lower body exercises that don't involve the ankles?

In the meantime, I will continue to do upper body work and increase the focus on core strengthening. Once the ankle feels normal again: balancing, mobility/stretching, maybe some BSS iso holds, GHR, working in more compound/weighted stuff as it gets stronger. I will probably take a month off from ultimate.

Here we go again...

What are those?

Ankle is worse than I thought btw. Bit of swelling and still painful even 24+ hours later. I've been good about the treatment stuff, too. Shiiiiiiiit.

Stir fry is looking good, did you like it? I would love to contribute some pics to this thread but my girlfriend is currently abroad and took the camera with her...

How is paleo diet so far? I am thinking about moving in that direction eating wise but I actually don't know if I have the cooking skills under my belt to actually like it  ;D

Please, no paleo. It's just really dumb. Really dumb. Nothing wrong with low-carb in some contexts but "going paleo" doesn't make any sense.

It felt great going in, but I rolled my ankle at practice. Not serious but it hurts on flexion and eversion and is not normal. Now it's ice/NSAIDs/wrapping/rest.

Fuck. My. Life.

That is all.

Basketball / Re: NBA combine vert numbers
« on: June 19, 2010, 04:51:17 pm »
But I mean their approach numbers were like 3-4 inches off from the standing numbers, for a lot of them. That's what I thought was interesting: they're supposed to all be super reactive and whatnot and a bunch of them just aren't, or weren't during that test.

And yeah, I'm an insider, haha.

Basketball / NBA combine vert numbers
« on: June 18, 2010, 04:02:32 pm »
Mostly good but not mind-blowing. I was mostly surprised by how little difference there was between a lot of the "no-step" verts (which I assume are just SVJs) and "maximum" verts (which I assume are running or at least approach jumps). Some people were much better on the latter (Luke Babbitt had like an 8" improvement from standing to running, for example), but most weren't that much better.

I can tell my left leg is weaker on the lunge, maybe I'll do more reps with less weight on my left leg

I'm not even close to an expert on rehab, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think that's a good idea. You should never encourage an imbalance. Let your left leg be the limiting factor but do the same thing for each. So if your left leg can do 3x5x70# (for example), and your right could do 3x5x90#, do the former for each leg. You may not be progressing on your right but once you've brought the left leg to the point where it can do 3x5x90, you can start working evenly on both.

Ankle feels okay although it gets stiff if it's still for too long. Hurt a bit this morning but was okay as soon as I started moving around.

Knee feels okay relaxed or in extension but flexing against resistance from about 30 degrees to about 90 degrees is still a bit uncomfortable. Not really pain, just doesn't feel like the left one does. Either way, gonna try a few jumps later and see how it does. Worse comes to worst I'll just jump rope and do upper body/core.

Yup and yup. Ankle felt a bit off this morning but is 95% now. Of course, I couldn't get off scot-free, so now my right knee is acting up. Hamstring insertion on the back/outside (posterior lateral?), same place as before but it's been okay for a while now. FML. More NSAIDs tonight and hopefully it'll be strong tomorrow.

Oh yeah, my workout today was...resting.

Workout today

Summer league game 1:

Team seems really cool. Game was fun although pretty disorganized because everyone was still getting to know each other and whatnot. Plus the twin brother of the guy who runs the league is on my team and he sucks, just has horrible instincts and clogs the offense a lot. I played meh D, decent O. Need to improve my mark and also ability to lay out for D's. Scored a bunch of times (5?) on fast breaks which was pretty sweet. They turned the lights off on us with the game tied 15-15, next point wins  >:(

Also I turned my ankle juuuust a little bit so I sat out the last few points. Iced a bit, gonna take some acetaminophen and do nothing tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be okay on Thursday cause we don't have a game and I'd like to do some jumping.
