- GMB warm up
- jump rope interval 3 x 3'/1'
no mistakes
- stretch
gentle. no pain. yippee.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: why am i so goddamn injury prone?
« on: September 28, 2017, 01:59:25 am »Do you take supplements like: MSM + collagen + gloucosamine/chontroitin + fish oil + vitamin c which helps collagen absortion + D3 + magnesium ?
i haven't in a long time because evidence for so many of them is so weak and my n=1 is that they have no noticeable effect on my health or well-being. but i think it's time to start again. i got vitamin b12 yesterday on the recommendation of the doc i saw here for my staph infection, as an immune booster. thinking to add fish oil, C, D, and ZMA. and also to start making bone broth.

lot of wisdom in adarq's post. thanks.
it's definitely both. the limitation of the "stubborn/pushes too hard" narrative is that it doesn't explain why other people who are also stubborn and push hard don't get hurt so much. hard to measure, but the trend is definitely there. i mean, it's not like i was training or playing harder as a kid in baseball or fencing, but i was always hurt in some way and other kids weren't. the bit about the collagen gene variant that prevents people from getting soft-tissue injuries is tantalizing; i am a walking soft tissue injury. there has to be more out there like that.
Is it being injury prone or just pushing yourself athletically more than was intended?
I look back at my training history and the injuries that I've had and they all have one thing in common. The repetition of a singular movement through normal ranges and into the stages of pain until the injury occurs. I often think what if I cycled my lifts, had an off-season and a pre-season every year. It almost seems ridiculous that I don't but I'm also scared that if I don't keep lifting all the time I won't progress. A look at my lifts from 7 years ago illustrates this point perfectly.

hamstring doesn't feel injured today, but def still sore. man those kb swings really fucked 'em up.
- GMB warm up
- scales x 5,5,5/leg
- a ton of mobility stuff and stretching
EDIT: thought about running gently today, then thought better of it given yesterday's alarm.

« on: September 26, 2017, 06:57:53 am »Some people just don't get injured. 2 perfect examples are Lebron James and Russell westbrook. they've never had a notable injury in their careers and it's not just NBA, since middle school. actually Russ missed some games with a broken finger but before that he didn't miss one game for 18 years. Lebron never had any notable injuries in his life....
Seems like both are very elastic and are elastic jumper. Both can jump very well from a run up even though they don't really train specifically for vertical jump.
Than you have players on the other side of the spectrum e.g. Derrick Rose, Bogut, LBSS etc.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Squat Narrow vs Wide stance and Vertical/speed
« on: September 26, 2017, 04:56:58 am »
squatting is GPP for jumping and running. use the stance that is most comfortable. there's nothing inherently superior about a narrower stance. having aching knees will have a much greater impact on your speed and jumping ability than small changes in recruitment caused by your feet being closer together or farther apart.

^^^ yep. beggars the imagination, especially given what those guys put their bodies through. one of the articles i posted talks about a gene related to collagen. people with a rare-ish variant (5% of pop IIRC) basically never suffer soft tissue injuries, even traumatic ones.

« on: September 25, 2017, 11:32:05 pm »I had a lot of aches and pains until i increased fat intake (among other measures) which i think improved T levels which lead to less aches and pains all round. But not sure if that would apply in your case
interesting. i don't exactly keep fat intake low, but might be time to start food journaling again. my diet here isn't the best. it's not bad but like i was literally thinking about going "paleo" again as i was falling asleep last night. just to see.

Injury is a fact of life for most athletes, but some professionals—and some weekend warriors, for that matter—just seem more injury-prone than others. But what is it about their bodies that makes the bones, tendons, and ligaments so much more likely to tear or strain—bad luck, or just poor preparation?
A growing body of research suggests another answer: that genetic makeup may play an important role in injury risk.

Baar’s research found that when they combined vitamin C (important for collagen synthesis) with glycine (one of the most common amino acids in collagen) there was an increase in strength of ligaments the engineered in the laboratory.

These data suggest that adding gelatin to an intermittent exercise program improves collagen synthesis and could play a beneficial role in injury prevention and tissue repair.

Frequent injuries have been a fact of my life since I started playing sports. I'm not talking about traumatic injuries -- I've only had one of those, a separated shoulder, and it was from a fall that would have hurt most people -- but more strains and sprains and aches that just always seem to be there in one part of my body or other. As a person who loves exercising and playing sports, this is incredibly frustrating. There has to be a reason, whether or not I can do anything about it.
My interest in training came out of an interest in physical therapy that itself came out of spraining my ankle six goddamn times. Time to get back into PT mode. This thread will be a repository for things I read about injury-proneness and what to do about it.
