Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Bruised Lower Back
« on: September 11, 2011, 09:33:21 pm »
Long story short: cliff diving in West Virginia, hit the water in an awkward position, bruised lower back/ tailbone. Hurt for first few days, saw doctor, she said ice, decompress, and stretch. I did that. now its 2 weeks later and it doesn't hurt very much at all now. I just have no lower back flexibility anymore, tight inflexible hamstrings, and whenever I jump, I can't produce power at all from my lower back and my jumping sucks. It also hurts to pick objects up. Please give advice for rehabilitating and getting back my lower back strength and flexibility. Thank you.

Introduce Yourself / Newbie to training
« on: June 21, 2011, 12:08:35 am »
Hello to all you out there. Here are my stats:

13 years old, gonna be a freshman
Bodyweight: 165 lbs.
Height: 5' 10"
BF%: 13-15%
Standing Reach: 90"
Standing Vert: 16"
Running Vert 21"
(Weak vertical jump as of now, I know, but that is why I am here, to improve and get better.)
Back Squat: 185 lbs  4x8 (just started squatting recently)

I am naturally strong in my upper body, but not so much in my lower body. Have a large frame, and am slightly upper body heavy if that helps at all

Have been doing the VJB Novice Weights and Plyos for about 7 weeks now, and haven't seen any gains yet.

Very excited to continue training and hopefully improving my vertical jump before the basketball season starts.

Thanks
