Have been getting a crucial ache in my knee (ITB, maybe plantaris), calf, Achilles, heel and top of my foot just before the third and fourth toes. There's a dirty trigger point (or 12) in there somewhere. I haven't had an ache like this in a while so I'm gonna get to the gym early tonight and do a shit ton of SMR and stretching and shit.

Plan for tomorrow is to walk a whole lot with my dad (he's doing a 60 mile hike over 4 days for his 60th birthday, I'm joining for day 3), so it would be nice to be free of lingering leg pain before I get into that.

damn your dad is beast.. sounds fun, hope you're health for it.


Great walk. I ended up joining my dad for the last 13 of his 16 miles yesterday. Beautiful day and I love spending time with him, so it was really nice.

Went to a Utah State University basketball game today against Fresno. Student section was AMAZING. The vibe in the spectrum feels unreal. I got to be part of this madness today... it's twice as epic when you're in the middle of it.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44YUnOoye58" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44YUnOoye58</a>

USU: 71
Fresno: 55

 :headbang:


They have some pretty good players too. Saw quite a few nice dunks. More on USU side of course.... because we're better.  :ninja:

they did that when you were there? pretty cool, really intense..

not to go off on a rant or anything, but, i find that kind of unity odd.. i've never had it.. i've never felt that kind of 'unity' with my high school, college, country, or anything.. i lack that "my bleh is better than yours", fill that in with country, school, team, anything.. it's odd.. like for team sports, in reality, i don't really support any team, i just support the players that I follow.. like I watch nba now for lebron/blake griffin and stuff like that.. i remember watching a playoff game with the spurs, and tim duncan got hurt, at the opponent's arena... and everyone was cheering him off the court, even though he was hurt/being helped out/into the locker room.. it's odd, i genetically seem to lack a 'blind support' for some kind of state or organization confined to some borders etc.

dno, weird rant, but videos like that make me think about it..

a good example of it would be the pacers/detroit pistons incident, where those home fans were just going apeshit, then finally someone throws a drink on artest... to me that's just unfathomable.. that's such a deep loyalty to a team/franchise that doesn't truly have any loyalty to you, odd.

odd

Introduce Yourself / Re: for 45" running vert
« on: February 13, 2011, 05:25:02 am »

about it. mad i missed 765. not enough speed i guess. or low back is overcooked.

Hey man, I couldn't lift 765 at the gym either so don't feel bad.

hahahahah

whatup man


Hey everybody, first off a little about me.
I'm 21/M 5'9" wit shoes 148 lbs, around 9% body fat.
Squat 160 (5 reps), Deadlift 185 (5 reps), Bench Press 185 (1repmax)

definitely need to get alot stronger



Quote
7'0" reach (short arms) and a 33" max 2 feet vert, 36" max 1 foot vert (basically just touching rim).

you sure only 7'0 reach? that's EXTREMELY short for 5'9... that's one arm or two? regardless, very low reach that'd be some very short arms.

if that's your true reach then those are some nice vert numbers.

regardless of your actual vert, if you are just touching rim, barely, you're going to want around 8 inches over to land that first dunk

I have been totally in love with and obsessed with basketball since I was in middle school.  I'm a scoring guard, who is usually the player with the quickest 1st step on the court 9 times out of 10.  Since moving to campus at my university, and having free access to a weight room and basketball courts all the time, I have decided to revitalize my goal of dunking.  I have literally been obsessed with being able to dunk for the past few months and have done extensive research online and such.  As I join this forum I hope I will gain the knowledge on how to do just that from the members and Adarqui himself. 

awesome man, sounds like you have pretty good quickness.. will check your journal tomorrow probably, saw you posted one.

peace man

Hi everyone

This is pjtvs. I was a member of TVS. I checked that but it seems pretty dead...
So i decided to come to this site.

sup man i remember u.

I am a belgian 21yo, 6ft tall, about 155-160lbs.
I used to be in basketball but then i quit that to go train for the 400m. That unfortunately did not work out very well. There were injuries but also the fact that i cannot see my trainer for months in a row is not a good thing at all.

sucks ;/

400m is tough to do without a 'group' + coach.


Quote
So i decided to pick up what i always loved: training for speed/power/strength and mainly vertical jump!

nice!

I don't have any stats right now. I am in mediocre shape, have been way better.

I am in my 4th year of physiotherapy at Leuven university so i know a thing or two about anatomy and sports training in general. After i finish my 5th year, i might start starting sports at the university as well.

really cool man, physio brings in the money but sport training (S&C) is always more fun to me, that's why i went that route.



Quote
I will start up a journal in which i will share my training and post up some vids!

Greetings

Pjtvs

awesome man can't wait to see that progress.

peace man

could it be becuz of the trianing? mb hormonal system messed up or smth? one of the girls from my club had some glands in her neck swollen up from too much training was so sore to the point she coulnd't walk out of the house....but she trains around 10 times/week, she does track, dancing and gym (her dad is a bodybuilder)

nah it's definitely not from training.. i can handle what i'm doing.. i just got staph 4 weeks back and it fucked me up hardcore.

ya see i don't train that much..





Is the left nut your "problem" nut? I mean, I know you don't wanna hear this, but could that be the culprit?

ya it's my problem nut but i doubt it's the culprit.. shit hurting me even more today.. fml

yup i have two 'lumps' (osgood schlotters bumps) on both patellar tendon insertions, from quad tendonitis when i was young.

sucks, ice helps a ton.. finding out what is inflaming it is important too, might need to avoid certain things for a while.
