I did two gym workouts consisting of a variety of landmine, deadlift, dumbbell split squats and rows, just to see how my neck/back does. It's so-so. I will also try to get to the track the next week.

LBSS dunker challenge confirmed

Small update: my neck and thoracic spine pain has been pretty bad and kinetotherapy made it temporarily worse. Even so, after not doing any upper body lifts for 2 months or so it was getting better. But then I experimentally did 3x3 chinups and 10 handle pushups and it came back just as it were. It's still here.

I kept a pretty clean nutrition and today I was under 90 kg for the first time in 10 years or so. Here's a dunk from today (rim is 2.88 m):

Good workout, although I'm kind of reaching a limit in what I can hold in my hand when doing the one-leg deadlifts.
