yep, im so messed with that sleep part too, i need 9 hrs for optimal rest and recovery, i remeber when i was going to bed around 11 pm and gettin up around 8 am, it was just insane amount of recovery haha, these last times tho i dont even get 8 hrs most of the time, and the sleep i get is not a "good night sleep" more like a bad morning sleep haha, need to fix that asap..

CsSsRuleLife · « **Reply #2821 on:** September 16, 2015, 10:03:15 am »

i mean not getting that good night sleep completely destroys any kind of recovery, like if i have 2 dunk sessions in one day i will be sore the other day either way, but with 9 hrs sleep i will still fly the next day, but without it i cant even walk the next day..

vag · « **Reply #2822 on:** September 17, 2015, 04:37:19 am »

^Yes, i must invest more on recovery ( sleep/SMR ). I must change how i see it, compromising them is like sabotaging myself.

1,5 hour bball.
Ahhh, back to the hardwood. So much better than concrete ( no shit! ). We had last minute absences so couldn't play full court. Half court still exhausting, i am always amazed after a little time of bball absence of how demanding it is. Speed, strength, vert, agility, aerobic and anaerobic endurance, you mane it, bball demands it.
I felt a lot like jumping on the hardwood but legs had different opinion. Too stiff/tired/unrecovered. Gotta make recovery ( more sleep, SMR, stretch ) a #1 priority. Starting today!

Foam rolling : IT bands & quads, 3x5 very slow rolls each, with some pausing at points of most discomfort.
Stretch : quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes, calves , 1m30s each position and leg.

22 September 2015

Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness : quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, chest, lats
Injuries/aches : none

45' shooting around/layups. Feeling a bit better, still far away from fit but having much better breaths for the quantity of sweat/effort.
Tried a few jumps at the end. Felt nice and smooth but achieved height was horrible.
Attempted to foam roll but i must shamefully admit it was so painful that i backed out.
I guess i have not yet adapted to this 3x5 paused + 20RM MEBM squat combo, legs are dead the next day(s).

LBSS · « **Reply #2829 on:** September 23, 2015, 08:13:11 am »

backing out of an ostensible self-care therapy because it is too painful is not cause for shame.

24 September 2015

1,5 hour full court bball.
Went good, had much better breaths than i thought. Good speed too, which is very unusual for me.
Jumps were pretty good too. The hardwood is such a different world than concrete. Yeah, no shit Sherlock.
Did only one rim jump, 3 steps RVJ, got a little over 30, could be 31, never saw that coming without even one warmup jump prior to it.
Legs still unrecovered, getting sore from gym and feeling stiff/tight. Need to step my foam roll / stretch / sleep game up ASAP.

Later : foam rolled IT bands & quads, stretched quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, calves.
