I think it might just be that I was more, um, vocal today. Also she worked on my quads (VMO in particular), which is an especially bad area for me. Didn't hit those last week. Anyway...

warm up
shoulder/thoracic spine mobility

work
bench 3x5x195 (4th rep of each set sucked -- wobbly and lost focus and had to re-do on the final set)
DB row 3x8x70ea

cool down
stretch

Short rim, obviously. The promoters have every reason to let the dunkers do the most ridiculous shit possible. Ergo, a 9'6" or 9'8" rim.

First of all, fuck Ohio and fuck Cleveland. They can both go fuck a duck. But I wanted LeBron to be great, and now he's shown the world that he's not good enough, in his own mind, to win it all on his own on a good team. He needs to have his hand held. That's a pretty giant letdown.

More trigger point therapy tomorrow morning and also just made an appointment for conventional PT for next week on the recommendation of a teammate of mine who also has chronic ankle stuff. Apparently this dude is really good, so we'll see how that goes.

God damn it, I'll get healthy yet...

^^^ Even me, setting PR's in how much I suck. I wouldn't worry too much about SVJ (although it doesn't sound like you are). The point is to dunk and only really tall people, great lifters and total freaks of nature can dunk from a standstill.

re: Krazy Glue. Also a well-known way for rock climbers to fix torn fingers when they're on a multi-day climb. Disinfect the gash, pour some krazy glue in, wrap in medical tape, and you're good to go.

today

warm up
foam roll x20-25 mins
joint circles

Just cause I want to have access to it later, here's a tight thread on Charlie Francis' forum about training for soccer: http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?t=15334&page=7. Link is to page 7 cause it was about then that I realized that I'm gonna want to go back to this.

If anyone happens to read it, I corresponded briefly with duxx a few months back. He passed along an updated version of the paper he wrote on his soccer training philosophy. He seemed happy to share them freely, so I can pass them if anyone wants.
