no, it's not overextension. doesn't feel like that. feels like stuff is tangled or out of alignment.

« on: September 05, 2014, 01:58:03 pm »Is it possible it is sprinting form based then?
yes but i don't know why my form would vary so much from day to day. i've thought about improper glute activation leading to knee collapse but doing activation exercises doesn't seem to make a difference.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

one does not necessarily care about bf% when one is cutting. that's my point. YOU care, and i was suggesting that maybe you could find something else to care about or use as the major benchmark, for the reasons i described.

knee feels fine, it only bothers me during and immediately after sprinting anyway. sometimes the dull ache is there the next day but sprinting is the only activity that seems to make it flare up. and even then, sometimes it's totally fine and sometimes it's crippling.
my right mid back feels a little spazzy this morning, and i've had a headache since yesterday afternoon.

mine, such as it is, is basically all my lower back, butt, and lower abs (classic male bicycle tire plus butt). i am in the 10-12% range, if i had to guess: clearly visible abs, a bit veiny.
i think your focus on bf% is misplaced, because it's not something you can reliably or consistently measure. or, to be more precise, not something that you trust or self-perceive in the same way from week to week or month to month. why do you care what your bf% is in the first place? your waist is small, you're close to your goal weight after consistent progress in that direction. you're a bit dysmorphic so the mirror test isn't necessarily a good one but maybe post a couple pics so you can get a second opinion on how lean you actually look?

the russian routine looks alright but is that really enough DL volume? it's a core lift for competition, doesn't it make sense to practice it more often?

Yeah it's tokenism using the haka dance in basketball.
yeah, there's also that.

dunno, sometimes it doesn't bother me at all and other times it feels really wrong. the pain isn't ever sharp, it's just like, yep, some ligament(s) or tendon(s) in there is just off. it just feels like stuff is twisted up and the wrong tissues are tight and the wrong ones are loose. that's pure feeling, though, i have no idea what's actually wrong with it. acole suggested maybe something to do with my tib/fib but the pain is more on the front and outside of the knee, next to my kneecap.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: pecs and lats a little
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, left hip, right knee kind of bad once i started sprinting
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- sprint 30m x fuck my knee
started bothering me on the first rep and did not respond to rest, shaking out, massage, stretching, anything. tried to do a bunch of submax sprints focusing on stepping over and keeping my elbows at 90 degrees but even that was not feeling right.
later
- stretch
