2 weeks isn't much tho, other than the flu part of it. you'll be back to normal quick.
regarding how you said you were eating, not sure how you can even eat like that with the flu .. when i'm flu'd up i def can't eat like that lmao. soup, bread, oatmeal, chicken for me.
Another one...I gotta give this a try. Also, look how shallow the dip is before he jumps. Super impressive.
the one leg landing, after all of that stuff in the air, is impressive af.
that's actually the clip i was searching for, when i saw you post the other one above. saw that one yesterday and was like wtf.... couldn't find it today, thnx for posting it.
it's funny how you mention giving it a try .. i look at these clips and that never crosses my mind, lmfao.
he probably was in pain .. but it's also boxing at the highest level, a sport which many a time, fighters continue with broken hands, jaws, lacerations, or literally ankles in the case of Bradley lmfao.
he looked like he just quit to me.. which is just disappointing.
total sign of immaturity: afraid to take jump shots is a sign he doesn't want himself to look bad, he wants the world to see how much game he has.....
From what I read yesterday he is completely reworking his jumpshot so I can imagine his reluctance to take them. Really though, he can basically get to the basket at will so what's a year of not taking jump shots.
this ^^
everyone needs to chill a bit on Simmons lol, he has plenty of time to improve his jumper & get more confidence in it.
even MJ wasn't confident in his jumper year 1.
only person I remember who was confident in literally every aspect of their game in year 1 and got enough minutes/games to be relevant to this discussion, was AI.. not Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, or MJ... just AI.
Just realized I was mentioned so ill toss my .02 in: I DON'T advise switching plants. I plant RL-R (Im assuming i cant remember being a DL jumper before this always SL) due to a previous injury. It was what was comfortable coming off that injury. That's the key IMO. Do what feels most natural as far as plant/style. I CAN plant LR-R and get up decently but it still feels awkward to do for ME jumps (in game doesnt count it just happens instinctively). Andrew hit it on the head with the IR reference. Its tough to master something new even for elite guys.
Keep grinding Scoob! Youre so close!
^^ re-quoting because my post pushed it off the page
I think i am slowing down for the Qtr Squat... may be... is time to stop adding weight? hip thrust is still alright... can continue to add weight. Some one is waiting for me at the rack while i was squatting. so i gave it up.. and did the barbell calf on the Smith machine. Without the need to balance, i can now use 3 plates under my ankle. With much more Range of motion and probably can go much heavier without the need to balance. Up fast, down slow. Will try to go much heavier next week.
I ran for 30 min at night also.. 400m x 10 while my girl do 60m x 10 sprint for every lap i do. After the sprint, she told me about some pain at her Achilles tendon where it is connecting to the heel. This is exactly what i am scare about.... Sunday will be race day. I plan to have a time trail on wed while running full 1km holding hands. guess that wont be happening..
Lets just see what will happen on Sunday... will be a gamble. better rest than risk injury before event day.
Regarding achilles insertion pain:
Is she limping? Or showing any signs of it affecting her movement? If so, probably shouldn't let her race.
I mean it bothered her enough to let you know, so i'm just assuming it's worth paying very close attention to.
If she's feeling pain during warmups (or at any point while running), she needs to know - to let you know. And if she lets you know, as a parent you might not want to let her do it. This is actually a teachable moment for both you & her IMHO, not to push through injury. You need her to be honest with you and not lie about the pain too. Achilles pain, especially at the insertion, is nothing to play around with.
Ask her about the pain, but don't tell her about the consequences (not racing). Ask if it's sharp, dull, when it hurts, how bad, etc etc. Sharp = bad. Check to see if it's affecting her movement, if so = not a good idea to let her run until it's healed.
Just my 2cents.

As for Jumping with ball / Dunk attempt... i wont change my right left plant. but i may change my ball just to try different thing.
Thanks adarq for the video... i just want to ask one thing.. how did they manage to turn of gravity.... they all jump like... they are on the moon or something.
Initially I was planning to go for a 3RM in the bench (115kg) but I thought about it and realised that benching 125kg (I'm better at maxing out than repping) would actually be easier than doing 115x3 so I went for the 125 and I got it easily. It actually felt easier than my 122.5kg PR that I did a couple of weeks ago
ah nice move & interesting that it felt easier than that previous PR.. beastmode.
that is what the GMB guys advocate as well, as a progression from learning individual skills. they refer to sequences like that as katas, i guess from martial arts: stringing a bunch of skills together in a row and working to make them as smooth and strong as possible.
blood in pee is a bit weird but i've had it a few random times too. if it becomes a regular occurrence, then definitely get it checked obviously :/ the scariest thing for me was peeing after drinking a ton of beet juice for the first time, was like holy shit wtf.. oooh, beet juice.
looking strong as usual! but def be careful if you're favoring. Wouldn't max it out often until that's more resolved.
