WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: peroneals, tib anterior, soleus, calves...everything around the ankles
ACHES/INJURIES: right hip but not terrible
MENTAL STATE: loose, happy
- warm up
- indoor ultimate x 60 mins
blew the other team off the court, won by like 30. got really sloppy and goofy by the end, just having fun. so for the season we finished 5th of 20 teams, with two of our captains and a couple of other players going down with injuries. not too shabby. it was fun but i'm looking forward to renewed focus on the gym. now that the season is over i'm going to see what's up with this wednesday night basketball game at GW. if the court is free after they're done that could become my substitute for the old gym. would be great to have a consistent place to do running jumps again.

^^^ i looked some up, they're not as cool as that photo. handball doesn't seem to lend itself to the same kind of crazy shit that basketball does. he does have great hang time, though. search "gary hines".

« on: March 27, 2013, 10:24:13 am »It's okay. the way i look at injuries is that it will boost your cns and give you that motivation you did not have before. Plus you gain back the strength you once had easily when you lose it from inactivity.
hahahaha oh my god. whatever peeeeels your banana, buddy.

re: t0ddday -
i know chronic NSAID use is bad, especially for the liver, and that acutely it doesn't actually speed healing. however, a little bit here, a little bit there does seem to help me with pain/discomfort.

« on: March 27, 2013, 09:45:54 am »Too bored to search, does ibuprofen help healing? I mean does it actively act against the inflammation or does it just reduce the pain? Are you happy with it's action?
I am asking because here the most 'popular' and 'proven' nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug is Voltaren ( whose action from what i see is based on Diclofenac ). But everyone seems to swear to ibuprofen on the net so i was wondering if i should give it a chance. Also, pills or gel? Gel massage is what i use, but i've read its nonsence because the gel cant penetrate more than a couple of inches (shut up raptor!), so it can never reach the muscles.
Sooo off topic!
no guarantees that it's not placebo or some other psychosomatic thing, but for me ibuprofen is the most effective NSAID, for inflammation and pain both, although with an internal injury like the hip one (i have a gnarly burn on my leg, too, from hitting the deck on a defensive play) it's hard to say what the inflammation is like. i'm just going based on discomfort.
naproxen, in my experience, is useless. aspirin is hit-or-miss. don't know anything about diclofenac.
incidentally, ibuprofen is also best for hangovers, in combination with coffee.
always pills. never heard of gel NSAID.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: fucked up right hip during first game
MENTAL STATE: tired, happy
- warm up
- indoor ultimate x 2 hours
playoff time. we blew the first team out -- they'd beaten us earlier in the year so that felt good. then second game the other team just had more subs and we got gassed. they went on a big run at one point and then just held us off. fifth place game on thursday. did same thing to my hip that i did the last time i played. no proximate cause, it just started aching at some point. played through it because, you know, playoffs and we were short-staffed. and actually, i played pretty well. had a couple of really sick assists and was not a complete waste of space as a cutter. d was mediocre but not terrible -- i don't think i gave up more than 3-4 deep scores, which is not bad.
will not gym tomorrow, ibuprofen and lots of fluids and stretching instead.

WEIGHT: 176 damn it
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: stressed, underslept, distracted
- warm up
- rudimentary hops
focus on relaxed body
- jump squat 30 x 3,3
- SVJ x 8
3rd and 4th reps markedly better than the rest. felt different, i was pulling myself down with the arm swing better or something. more relaxed?
- squat 335 x 1; 345 x 1; 280 x 4,4
warm ups sucked, 335 easy, 345 solid. first backoff set was all over the place, wtf.
- push press 135 x 4,4
changed up the bottom position and felt better.
- pull up x 6,6,6,6
indoor playoffs start tomorrow so i didn't want to do any more to tucker out the ol' legs. we tanked last week and ended up seeded 8th of 20, instead of 4th, where we should have been. sucks for us as our prize for (knock wood) winning the first round game tomorrow will be a matchup against the undefeated #1 overall seed on thursday. i'm looking forward to tomorrow.
