finally lifting weights again. did upper body today. lower body tomorrow.
think i'll try out like 70 kg tomorrow on squats. and probably like 80-90 kg for deadlifts.

still limited mobility, but getting better. tomorrow marks 4 weeks since the injury. guessing i'll wait 1-2 more weeks?

« on: December 02, 2024, 06:00:28 pm »if it was a bad sprain, seems normal that it'd still be hurt now, after less than a month. i sprained my right ankle six times when i was in my early 20s and the worse ones took a month or so to recover from. definitely recommend doing some ankle-specific rehab. for example:
- single leg balancing (progress by standing on a cushion, closing your eyes, throwing a ball against the wall and catching it, and setting up obstacles on the ground to reach for while maintaining balance)
- towel toe curls (stand or sit with your toes on the edge of a towel and curl your toes to draw the towel underneath your foot a bit at a time)
- ankle circles (max range of motion in both directions, and to mix it up you can use your big toe to spell out the alphabet in the air)
oh i see. yea soon to be a month since i injured it. thanks though will try some of those out. yea my range of motion on my right foot has been hampered, but think i'm close to being able to do pistol squats again with it

« on: December 02, 2024, 09:52:06 am »damn, sorry about your ankle. big difference between snapped (broken) and sprained, though. i'm guessing you mean sprained, since you didn't talk about a cast or getting surgery? anyway good luck. lord knows there's plenty of jump training resources in the archives here.
thanks. yea it's more so sprained, but man is it taking a long to recover from. i injured it on november 7th, i think i'm gonna wait 2-3 more weeks before resuming any exercise

am back again. sprained/snapped my ankle 3 weeks ago playing soccer, so have been resting since then. suddenly excited again though about dunking/increasing vert, so will get into it more exclusively once i'm back.
past few years i've been mostly focused on basketball though, playing focused and joining leagues. can still snap the rim off both plants though.
think i'll give it 2 more weeks of rest and then i'll start training to jump higher exclusively again. biggest problems i think will be finding lower rims and a gym where i can properly squat and deadlift though. will have to do more exploring/research to find more resources for jump training

« on: September 01, 2021, 11:57:03 am »hey, i haven't been too active on this forum lately but still remember you. i see you still weightlift, but do you still do jump training? i remember you used to be able to dunk 2 handed off a standing vert lol, that was crazy.
no recent jump training for me. i can still jump in the 30s last time i tried but the landings are brutal if i'm heavier than 185lb. i'm 212 now so no way i'm landing 30+ jumps without breaking anything.
oh i see. that's still pretty good. cool that you're still into lifting.
