nobody intentionally relaxes in the bottom of a deep squat. at least during a working set. that would be begging for a back injury.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squats, fml
MENTAL STATE: tired, very low motivation, had to drag myself to the gym
- warm up
getting back into jumping rope.
- DB jump squat 15s x 5,5
- squat x 0
right knee tweaked when i had 95 on the bar. worsens when i actively push knees out/externally rotate, and the tweak is only at the very bottom of the ROM. could not do an assisted pistol without tweaking. no sense pushing this AT ALL.
- BB RDL 205 x 8,8,8
- stretch
very frustrating workout. did not sleep well/enough last night, stressful and exasperating day at work, got home and dicked around online and had to tear myself away from the computer. better luck tomorrow.

thanks man. i think it looks more intense than it is because of the volume for squats, but i'm going to be going REALLY light with those, taking my sweet time. once i get comfortable with them again i'll cut way back on volume. not trying to return to my oversquatting ways.
yesterday:
- tennis x one hour
pretty good workout, my dad was striking the ball well and that always means more run for me.
today:
no gym because GF troubles. annoyed. and my friends played football this afternoon, could have had a great day of working out and running around. fuck it.

« on: September 18, 2014, 12:41:01 pm »any suggestions on treating these kind of injuries, or does it just require rest. its still painful when I straight it.
It seems I was wrong, it was not the iliotibial tract, that is the muscle in front next to the knee, so I don't know which muscle or tendon I pulled, but changing the view angle on that site, the closest thing i think is bicep femoris, so basically I pulled a hamstring, but from behind the knee.
@Vag Thanks, I was looking for muscles behind knee and came across this, which is really detailed.
rest is most important. start with that. ice isn't going to hurt, either. strap a bag of ice or some frozen peas or something on for 10 minutes at a time with 20-30 minutes breaks after. and mostly stay off it. reevaluate in a few days.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: September 17, 2014, 11:37:15 pm »It looks good man. The only possible worry is how your body will cope with four ME jump workouts/week with the various issues (knee, back, shoulder). Maybe build up to four rather than four straight up?
yeah this is probably wise. the morning workouts are aspirational, anyway, i am guaranteed to miss some of them due to work or not sleeping well or something. and if i get there and don't feel right to jump, then i'll just stick to layups and general moving around. need more time doing "athletic" stuff at submax intensity. like i was saying to stuckintheaiir recently on PM: movement efficiency is really important. mine is only okay right now, could be a lot better. tennis helps, too, i really believe. i'll keep playing periodically with my dad.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a little, glutes a little; less than yesterday but still present
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- jumps x 30 mins
best since june, i think. no clean dunks with the big dodgeball but rattled it in or out a bunch of times. well over 34, a few probably ~35. did some SLRVJ at the end for good measure.
- stretch
pretty happy with this, all things considered.
