Yeah man, it is two different loves combined. Love for nature and love for sports. I've been snow skiing since what, 7 years old? It's a big and very important part of who i am! When carving on the slopes or just admiring the view from the top, I can actually feel being detached from myself, which as we all know is the best way to find yourself! TLDR : it is amazing as fuck!

PS : squatting transfers damn great to skiing, what else can i ask LOL

9 February 2017

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : calves quads chest and lats a little bit, shoulders hamstrings and lower back a bit more, still minor
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Again 3 weeks off the hard wood. Or, if you prefer, second time playing since 1 December 2016.
Endurance was horrible of course. Gassed out pretty early, about half way in. Other than that i had very slow reaction times and I was clumsy and uncoordinated. Of course.
On the bright side, i was strong and also vert was very good. Had a shitload of blocks. And then I got this weird play that i only got once again in my life: went up for the offensive rebound, got it with one hand extended. Felt i was able to toss it in, flicked wrist to shoot.... and got stuffed by the rim!!! WTF, lately i was used to jump for the follow at fast-breaks, expecting to grab rim and ending up touching somewhere at the middle of the net. And now the opposite, thought i was down there and was much higher. Much encouraging, there might still be some dunk juice left in there!!!!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

hah sick.

happened to me recently too (just jumping in general, not a putback ;d). went out thinking i'd barely be able to touch the rim (because i've jumped twice in the last ~6 months), and ended up getting ~5" over it. i was legit surprised. What's funny though is, every jump session after that (like 5 of them) kept getting worse .. lower and lower.. until finally after 1 day rest, got back up there.

i imagine your adductors get wrecked? that's the first thing i think about when you mention extreme soreness from skiing.. (i've never skied)

adductors/abductors & anterior core must get thrashed.
