^^^jesus christ! there's nothing like that on the east coast. some of the western mountains might be in range but i've only ever skied in vermont and massachusetts. killington has something like 130km of trails and 22 lifts, about 1000m drop between summit and base.

skiing on sunday was fun, although i was pretty rusty. definitely wiped out a couple times, definitely less comfortable at high speeds than i thought i'd be. guess my expectations were too high, given the gap since the last time i snapped on a pair of skis. still had a blast -- conditions were perfect and the mountain we were on, killington, is so big and such a well-oiled machine that even though there were a bajillion people there, we never waited more than 5-6 minutes for a lift and usually just a minute or two, and the slopes were not crowded.
soreness also less than i expected, which is great. my calves and soleuses (solei?) are a bit sore but not terribly. i fucked up my thumb a bit at some point, as well, but that's minor. and my ankle gave me no difficulty at all.
back in the saddle today.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle a little, left shoulder a little but not bad, lower back and lower abs felt tight
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ build-ups x a bunch
very poor, no power, 32.5 tops off of two and three and could not get it together off four. did a few one-step RL that were around 30.
- SLRVJ x a bunch/each
surprised myself by getting over 30 on my first jump off left. spent the next 20 minutes trying to replicate that with intermittent success. went down from three steps to two and had more success, bunch of jumps in the 30-30.5 range. something must have clicked, which is weird because coordination on the DLRVJ was so bad.
- superset x 2
-- pause squat 205 x 5
-- SVJ no armswing x 5
then the gym closed. spent a long time jumping, which is good even though my jumping was garbage.

sleep is king.
also, why are you still relying on the lines on the court for your approach? always use t0ddday method to set up, one step at a time, problem solved.

SORENESS: lats
ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle a little
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- jump assistance, sprint drills x a bunch
- DLRVJ, SLRVJ x a bit
very submax, no power
- superset x 2
-- X-band walk x 20/each
-- SL hip thrust x 20
x-band walks were challenging, used a fair amount of tension and took big steps
- DB step up 25s x 10,10
- DB SLRDL 35s x 10,10/each
- band ab pull down x 20,20
- stretch

« on: February 24, 2015, 06:22:24 pm »Yeah I get serious calf soreness and am in total fear of foam rolling them although I know I need to do it. I find the knock on for me goes up from feet, calves, hams/quads to hips. If I get the feet right the rest are so much easier to manage.
The stretch is an absolute bitch. I often start with but bum about 4-5 inches above my heels and gradually work my way down over the course of 1-2 minutes.
for sure, although for me the pain tends to travel up on the outside of my legs, from peroneals to ITB to TFL.

« on: February 23, 2015, 11:59:48 pm »I'm curious, do you wear a brace while hooping/jumping?
nope. there's not much strong evidence that braces have any injury prevention benefit.
EDIT: just started wading through pubmed there's some new literature (like within the last year or two) on this. will give it a look. but i'm pretty sure i'll stick to neuromuscular training for the foreseeable future.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle, left shoulder surprisingly bad during OHP
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- jump assistance x a bunch: MR half tucks, ankle hops, rudiment hops
ankle okay for the most part, some weird tightness in left (?) soleus, the sideways rudiment hops didn't feel great, and glutes felt a bit turned off, especially on the outside. felt like my knees were collapsing a little during first set of MR half tucks. did some ISO activation stuff and later sets were better. all very submax.
- squat 185 x 8,8
felt fine, yay. left side of low back announcing itself. not yay.
- superset x 3
-- DB RDL 80s x 10
-- DB OHP 40s x 10
-- pull up x 10,10(5+3+2)
left side of low back announcing itself again. must be cautious. pull ups very weak.
- stretch
could have been worse.

i've also been having calf cramping that seems related to discomfort in my glutes/TFL. i think it's a knock-on effect from the sprain last week.
alas, i'll never be able to do that stretch.

no significant exercise since last wednesday. laziness + low motivation + snowstorm on saturday that made it impossible to go anywhere. ankle is mostly better, probably 85%. still some swelling, although the difference between my ankles may partly be semi-permanent from the damage my six or so right ankle sprains have done. some discomfort in end-ROM at dorsiflexion+eversion and plantar flexion+inversion.
back on the horse tonight. i will do some light jumping assistance but nothing intense, light squatting to test the ankle, some p-chain stuff, and upper push/pull. and maybe KB or DB swings.

yep, reminds me of something i think jalen rose was saying the other day. carmelo anthony just had knee surgery, which he'd known about and been planning for months, just a few days after throwing down an alley-oop from lebron in the all-star game. that dude's knee was BUSTED -- nobody gets knee surgery for funsies. but being able to do crazy shit through pain and injury is (part of) what it means to be an elite athlete.

speaking of the NFL combine, this dude broke the broad jump record and tied the vertical record. 44.5". that is two-handed-windmill-from-a-standstill territory.
