That black guy with yellow shoes and black&yellow shorts standing idle there looked like Eric Snow. Never knew you play NBA players over there.

hah ya he does.. we have more nfl guys hooping at courts down here than nba.. lots of pro football players live around 15-20 minutes from me, lots of miami dolphins guys.. so occasionally you see them at parks.

pC

thats pretty fye, but that definitely isn't eric snow because that man is FAT now.

I met him at a tournement last year. GOD, he got out of shape FAST.

Heh. No one is more concerned than I.

The right knee really needed to be drained as much as it did in 2009. I had that crippling effusion for 18 months. Several doctors did nothing about it. The ligament damage I'd done to it had mostly healed, but the effusion wasn't going anywhere. I put a hundred pounds on my squat, but my right leg was getting smaller! The effusion was preventing development and causing me to hobble around. So I had to attack it. I'm glad I did.

Right now, the effusion I'm seeing may be transitory. Conservative treatment (RICE) may be appropriate, but I'm nervous. I'm so used to these things not going away on their own.

A clue to the nature of the problem is the fact that I drain almost exactly the same amount each and every time I go in: ~25 from the left and ~15 from the right. This leads me to believe that these are my body's current "set points" for my knees. It's the amount that my system deems appropriate to support the knee. Draining it seems an act of futility right now. It's very hard to say, however, because the 30-50 I used to drain from the obviously screwed up right knee used to be the "set point" there.

Both knees definitely are fuller than other peoples' knees. You can tell when I'm in the deep Hindu squat position. The bulging on either side of the patellar tendons is very clear, particularly on the lateral sides. At 90 degrees while sitting, you can feel the soft bulging a bit too.

Back in 2009, wearing the neoprene all day really helped so I've started doing that again. I'm wearing the neoprene as I type this and the warmth and compression make a huge difference. For example, I can drop into a squat with no problem on the off days as long as I am wearing the neoprene sleeves. The sleeves don't offer enough support under ~300 lbs squatting anymore, however, which is why I use the wraps in training. I'm going to start wearing the sleeves ALL THE TIME outside of training again for a while and see how that goes.

wtf i used to eat that stuff raw when i was a kid, never tried it with honey or peanut butter
