As for Enzo... I get very hardly impressed/happy about someone... I did for him. I really am a passive guy and pretty much a hater in essence... not with Enzo for some unknown reason I guess. I genuinely am happy for you man, hopefully you stay healthy. Usually when I say stuff like this is just "politically corectedness" when I don't really mean it so ... you know... it's genuine for you.
thx emil.
I always felt this sort of (no homo LOL!) connection too. both of us single leg leapers, both of us on the same page (you were better when I started, and your best is better than my best though) althletically.
what I've always appreciated the most about you (wit humor and english mastery come as close second ahah!;)) was your insight-analysis ability, and your overthinking attitude in general. though it can be some kind of an obstacle in the way to achieve your goals sometimes, it is a clear sign of how much you care about it.
that's what makes you special, above all the other things, in my eyes. your passion.
the best advice I can give you, from the bottom of my hart, is: fix the knee. I know this means stop training and undergoing some expensive exams. but when it's about your health, money are always well spent. And simply don't worry about losing your hard gained results. when I stopped lifting, I thought I wouldn't be able to dunk again. It took the hell of an hard work with weights to put down a legit dunk for me, so I simply thought I would have lost it all. But I was eventually able to bounce back.
stop training, fix the knee, rest, don't rush things up, return pain free, BAM!
some seriously hard times might be ahead. But you can make it. I know you will.
you have it in you man.
