nah it was a really localized pain point a bit above the front of my ankle. i've had shin splints before, this wasn't that. completely gone today, fwiw.

i read about a condition called ehlers-danos recently. i don't have it, thank god, but it kind of made me wonder again whether there is something congenitally wrong with my joints.* i am pretty much always in discomfort somewhere or other, and in fact i think i always have been. the pain comes and goes without apparent cause, at least most of the time.

*other than my big toes, which i know there is something congenitally wrong with them. namely, arthritis.

Yeah sounds OK then, maybe your ankle joint is just getting a bit jammed from all these new plyo exercises. Obviously I can't feel your pain but just sounds like the athletic lifestyle to me, not necessarily a bad thing. I can't remember the last time I was 100% completely fresh, no issues at all. I've avoided any major acute injuries but there's always some little annoyance or two.

Consistent 35'' though! You should craigslist yourself a lobber with all that new $$$, get this done!

craigslist yourself a lobber.......   

an epic quote if i must say so.

- daily routine
knees killing me, very low motivation. this week has been extra stressful at work, early mornings to late nights, too many meetings, dealing with the fallout from the guy we fired a couple of weeks ago, and just found out that someone else on our team took a job in ukraine. can't blame her, it's a great opportunity and she'd be stupid not to take it, but the timing is rough.

- daily routine
knees better, got really good sleep last night for the first time since last weekend. maybe sleep correlates super acutely to knee and/or other joint pain? something to track.

was going to post a DAMMIT to your previous post.. really good to hear that your knees are feeling better (so far).

sub-optimal sleep definitely makes me more achy. there's probably a bunch of studies out there to support or debunk it.

asked random dude shooting around on the other end to throw me a couple lobs. was really close on the first, on the second i pushed that motherfucking ball through the motherfucking hoop. missed a couple of others, including one that i front-ironed and ended up on my ass but was sooo close. hit clean 37s on at least 3-4 other jumps.

was planning to just do a normal weight workout but the court was open, i was feeling awesome, and so i adjusted my plans. i'm grinning like an idiot and kind of feel like i want to cry. skipped rest of weight workout because i have to go to easter lunch with my grandma. who cares.

thank you andrew. thank you. thank you t0ddday for the recent help, i haven't followed it exactly but god damn if the half-assed way i have followed it didn't work. thanks vag, raptor, flander, acole, kelly and lance in absentia, avishek in absentia, and everyone else on here for being an awesome community and helping me stay on the grind.

really happy for you man. I wish I could have seen this session live. If Elon Musk ever invents a time machine, I would use it to watch this entire session. From jumps/dunks to squats, sounds like you were in straight up beast mode today. This is the kind of session that creates a new baseline.. keep that in mind. This is a huge mental & physical hurdle that you've overcome. So in the next few weeks, if you get someone to throw you lobs, don't be surprised if you crush a few even harder than you did today..

sounds like you had so much pop today.. nuclear pop. These are the days that make everything so very much worth it.
