the ankle feels better now, still tight/weird achilles though. inside bone bruise is pretty much ok, still some soreness to the touch, but should be gone in a few days.

the achilles still cant dorsiflex fully, at abt 80% of the way it kinda gets tight, but after i flex my foot a few times with some force, it sorta rickets through. best analogy would be like how a mountain bike  shifts gears on the rear derailleur... like popping into place.

did a workout today, gym finally open. will post later.

The ankle felt alright. It's still not 100% yet, can't jump, but squatting is fine.
That's why I did so many sets of squats, was thinkin to up my work capacity.

Bad idea tho, normally it's my groin (abductors?), and my hams, den the glutes that get sore.
Now my entire legs are gone :p even my quads are sore. Heh heh.

Down with fever last night, had the shivers at work  the night before even with a jumper on. but I'm feeling better now.

Ha bj, I'm not sure how much power and strength I lost in my legs in the last 3 weeks, hoping for a full recovery in terms of health and power, strength by end Jan.

Upper body still fine tho, blasted thru the sets.

yea man, the fever made the soreness magnified!

fever's all but gone now, just a bit of a nasty cough going on, but i still can hit the gym.
got a game later in the morning, after my graveyard shift. didnt want to go, but we're short of numbers... will try to play extra carefully later.

well when you get healthy again i'll give you a template, this time we'll need to get in alot more work on the off-days of the gym, ie calf, glute, short sprint, etc.

i'm going to give you a template tho.. but right now just worry about getting back healthy.

ankle's still no good. cant take impact of heavy foot strikes, or something.
trying to do a layup in the game, the right ankle hurt while trying to do so during the last 2 steps.

had wanted to do mayb some stepups or lunges, but the boss called. had to get in to work.

tried to squat real deep, but wasnt able to. almost near the rock bottom, the achilles/ankle was in pain.  but no problems with my usual depth of around parallel.

planning to hit the gym 2,3 times a week now.

day 1 lower, day 2 upper, day 3 lower if possible.

and on day 2, perhaps i'll lower the weight some, and hit a few sets of squats if im up for it.

BW was at 66kg preworkout, and this was after i had scarfed down 2 meat buns, and a preworkout drink which was 3-400ml, both at like 30 mins before, pretty shocking.  last time i was at this weight was a year and some change ago.
not too sure how i feel abt it.

at least strength levels didnt drop off.

the wolfing down of the food didnt help the workout much haha. felt like puking halfway thru the squats. gotta eat earlier in future.

Yea a mac dbl cheeseburger 1hr before works ok for me. Ytd was not. Haha.

I'm happy the strength levels are abt the same, but I'm really not sure how the weight dropped. Likely I didn't eat enough. Will take a pic to compare. I'll look on the bright side, and conclude tt same strength, at lower bw = good stuff tho haha. Gotta be optimistic. Mayb when I start the next cycle I'll be more beastly.
