Still raining. Bah. Went and played some full court ball with some local college players instead. Played decently, only 2 turnovers in 6 total games. Didn't need to score a bunch so that was nice lol! Just played d and racked up assists 
missed a putback attempt that I probably should have just rebounded. Tried to come from one side of the rim and reach around and jam it from the other lol! Made up for it on a 3 on 1 fast break when I got an off glass oop with both hands. Total gym shutdown for a minute lol! Now...off to ice.

Too much rain to run yesterday so I lifted again. Im keeping volume really low as I still have a few games left (im still getting sore since its been so long lol). I did push my deadlift to 325lbs for a single so thats encouraging. All assistance lifts are at about half the weight I was using. I'll see if I can jog some today, rain is supposed to clear out later this afternoon.

Haven't tried. I hate being barefoot lol! I can bounce up and down the stairs after the kids no problem though. I'll try some barefoot running tomorrow if this rain lets up and report back.

I'll try that out Raptor. I'm open to anything really. If it works great if not, keep looking. Officially it was a grade 1/2 achilles strain. But at this point im really wondering if there wasn't a small tear considering how slowly it healed and the lack of ROM currently. The only soreness I get now is immediately after a deep dorsiflex stretch, give it a minute or two and its back to feeling normal again. Might toss some sprints in and see how it does.

Actually....its a VERY strong possibility. I don't have the same ROM on my left that I do on my right since the Achilles injury. I'm working on it every day but it seems to have stalled a little short.
A visit back to the therapist may be in order. Thanks Raptor!

Went and shot some today. Mostly wanted to jump. Few things Ive noticed: my run up is lacking speed right now, I dont feel that final 'push off' from my ankles/feet I usually feel, I'm (not a lot but a little) 'collapsing' at my core during the plant. So I need to fix these and get strong again.
Positive note was my timing seemed much better. Got a few dunks easier than normal and I know I wasn't jumping as high as I was a few months back. Thats cool.

I live in....Texas. -___-
but in reality its either that or my movements are so well 'greased' that it's become 'easier'. Either way I'm going to strive to keep whatever it is and get some strength back.
Oh...and dammit. I'm sore lol

Just hit the weight room for the first time in what feels like forever. Verdict? I'm weak as all fuck compared to January/February. 315 was the top squat and it felt heavy. :/ Did low reps and tried to be as explosive as possible with 225 and 275. Did some light weight assistance work as well. Just trying to get a feel for where I need to start at in a few weeks. I have no clue how I am jumping low 40s as heavy and weak as I am. I'll take that as a good thing and focus on keeping my reactive-ness up by jumping a lot while I try and push my lifts up again. Felt great to be back in the weight room even as frustrating/saddening as it was lol!

No games this week so I went and did a 1 hour skills workout this morning. We have one more week of games then the tourney and I'll be back on my normal workout and lifting schedule.

Didn't go to the game last night. Turns out one of my buddies didn't either and we got thrashed. No biggie since it was a regular season game. I spent the evening wrenching on the 'race' car instead, good progress was made.
Since I didn't play I'm thinking of lifting later. Would be nice.

Won our game tonight. Super pissed though about how we played. Too many guys trying to do things they aren't suited for then expecting me to bail them out when it doesn't work. I'm strongly thinking of sitting next game and letting them get their asses beat so we can get back to playing help defense, cutting and moving on offense, moving the ball and playing the game right. Way too much iso ball going on (and this coming from a guy who gets probably 40% of my points of wing iso situations.)
SMH.
