Played b-ball last night. felt ok but my knees have been bothering me for some reason. haven't hit squats since last Thursday and have been lifting light for the last 3 weeks and still my knees are sore. WTF? not feeling it lately.

Tried to follow up the squats with deadlifts but wasn't going to happen so I stopped with warm up set. Felt like a pussy tonight when I was looking at myself in the mirror and wondering if I have it in me to make progress. Some of the cats in here put in work, and with the frequency that would put me in the hospital. sometimes I wonder if I got a crap hand in the recovery department or I am just a nancy. (rhetorical don't answer this)

Thanks for the motivation.

Played full court b-ball tonight. (2.5 hours) Legs were sore from missed PR attempt on Sunday so I wasn't expecting much. Got warmed up and hit some ME jumps and bam hitting 31" RVJ again and again. Progress, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  keeps me motivated for more pain.

Shin splints suck, heal up quick.

Looked better at 9'7", probably because you had to approach with more speed. keep it up.

Your hood looks dope son!

You calves are probably a restrictive factor. Having sore calves after basketball means one or two things: either not strong enough or extra tightness. Either way you should implement Unilateral Calf-Raises going for a full deep stretch (maybe holding it down for ISOs, which I prefer) after your workouts in addition to the reactive stuff you do beforehand to keep things on an even keel.

Peace.

true words. not stiff tho, too weak. calves are def not on par with my upper legs, and needs to be a bigger focus.
1 leg calf raises are going back into the rotation, thanks for the input.

I feel like I can't stabilize and explode out of a plant with much speed...... Yet
