enjoyed the non-stop basketball dribbling. felt great during and afterwards. i've wanted to bring this back into my routine a few times but it's hard when you're locked in .. that's one of the good things of taking time off from your primary training, can use it to incorporate some accessory tools that may be very beneficial eventually.
new tools:
- basketball dribbling!
- barefoot walking!
when I was younger, playing basketball probably 3 hours a day on avg, I rarely had any tweaks/issues. Only stuff I had was more significant injuries from contact (broken fingers, wrist, thigh contusions etc). But in terms of simply just breaking down on my own, it didn't happen like it does now. Sure I was younger but, those movements I do when i'm dribbling hit so many different joint angles & offer a ton of variety neuromuscularly. it's good stuff. With running, it's just the same movement pattern over and over and over, which is fine but if you overdo it or just tweak something minor, it takes forever to heal. Would be nice to incorporate basketball dribbling as a cross training tool on some off days (instead of an easy run day, or in addition to it, to decrease the amount of time spent easy running etc).

vo2 max: 64 (wtf?)- thought for sure my vo2max measurement would be way off.. dribbling a basketball to get my HR way up but not moving fast pace-wise.. odd. dno.
right knee (ITBS) / right big toe (turf toe) tweaks were non-existent today. left ankle was bugging slightly at times but has improved alot.
think these things are almost gone.
also, barely sweat in this session & it's hot as hell out, and I had a hoody on + compression pants + shorts. lol. i'm in good shape. need these things to heal completely so I can get back to work.
workout: bw- strong even after all of that "upper body work"
S1: 3-5sec paused dead hang semi-wide pullups: BW x 8 (strong)
S1: full dips: BW x 12
S1: single leg standing raises: x 40
S1: single leg standing abductions: x 40 (hard)
S1: single leg lean-against-something hip extension: x 40
S1: toe extensions: x 20
S1: calf raises: BW x 20
