Anyone ever done anything like this? Im thinking about trying it for a few weeks just to see what happens.

I understand its designed for gaining size and such and won't benefit max strength/athletic ability massively although with a bit of extra muscle from a few week block of this will make it easier to gain max strength later?

And how good is it for adding size?

(im talking about the 10x10)

so i have trials this sunday 1pm, had limited practice/training upto today cos of exams...bad clash of priorites exams had to come first, but now BASKETBALL is my focus i have tomorrow to prepare. how can i maximise my abilities in one day. btw im a shooter

when i do the basic hip flexor stretch....

i can contract my left glute fine and it helps me stretch the hips out better...yet its impossible for me to contract my right glute? i just cant do it....it fires fine in other exercises i think...but this...its non-existant...

any ideas as to why this is? and im guessing its something that needs to be sorted out....single leg glute bridges etc?

Basically everyone involved in athletic activities has ankle problems at sometimes...so i thought a thread containing everything ankles - prevention, rehab everything would be good/helpful (sure would be helpful for me, often find myself searching multiple threads/places on the internet so would be good to have it all in one place...

im sure on this site there are a lot of people with a lot of experience/knowledge of ankles and the problems they cause people so lets group all that information together for a community of athletes with indestructible ankles!

-how to treat sprained ankles? rice etc...
-how to prevent future ankle problems stengthening, mobility, proprioception(i think this is the most under used disregarded aspect of rehab for ankles......WOBBLE BOARDS FTW.
-footwear + restricition


one thing theres a lot of confliciting advice about is the use of braces/tape and high tops.....i used to agree with all the people against high tops and ankle restriction in the form of braces...until i dislocated my ankle wearing kobe ivs (low tops) and no restriction...now i never play competitive basketball without my braces....but today i rolled my ankle while in a brace..so obviously it doesnt remove the problem? i think a big problem is the lift from bball shoes due to the cushioning systems....if someone could explain why this is bad compared to real low shoes nike frees and the like......but really for basketball there is no way around this is there?

please all you people with tons of knowledge on ankles shove it all into this thread so we can all have a great resource to go to when we inevitably experience ankle problems...because a lot can be done for prevention rehab and i dont think a lot of people know this....i see people sprain there ankle 10 times a year and return to play 3 days later everytime with no rehab...not the way to go.

Happened in game, came down from a layup thought id just sprained it badly looked down and my toes were pointing towards my left shoulder (right foot) paramedics ambulance etc came said it was almost through the skin. Had oxygen, morphine and then got put out so they could put it back into place which they did and then shoved it in a plaster cast.

Somehow no fractures although probably some quite extensive ligament damage. Have been told im going to be stuck in a cast for 4-5 weeks and then gradual mobilisation through pt.

Just wondered if anybody knew of anything I can do to speed the healing/prevent long term problems as much as possible or failing that entertain myself over the next few months with no ball!
