just measured my standing reach. so flat footed in shoes, if i really really stretch out, i can touch 7'10. so guess my standing reach now is 7'10/94 inches? i always thought it was around 7'8/7'9 or 92/93 inches. guess i only needed 26 inches to touch 10 foot all along lol.

finally lifting weights again. did upper body today. lower body tomorrow.

think i'll try out like 70 kg tomorrow on squats. and probably like 80-90 kg for deadlifts.

if it was a bad sprain, seems normal that it'd still be hurt now, after less than a month. i sprained my right ankle six times when i was in my early 20s and the worse ones took a month or so to recover from. definitely recommend doing some ankle-specific rehab. for example:

- single leg balancing (progress by standing on a cushion, closing your eyes, throwing a ball against the wall and catching it, and setting up obstacles on the ground to reach for while maintaining balance)
- towel toe curls (stand or sit with your toes on the edge of a towel and curl your toes to draw the towel underneath your foot a bit at a time)
- ankle circles (max range of motion in both directions, and to mix it up you can use your big toe to spell out the alphabet in the air)

oh i see. yea soon to be a month since i injured it. thanks though will try some of those out. yea my range of motion on my right foot has been hampered, but think i'm close to being able to do pistol squats again with it

am back again. sprained/snapped my ankle 3 weeks ago playing soccer, so have been resting since then. suddenly excited again though about dunking/increasing vert, so will get into it more exclusively once i'm back.

past few years i've been mostly focused on basketball though, playing focused and joining leagues. can still snap the rim off both plants though.

think i'll give it 2 more weeks of rest and then i'll start training to jump higher exclusively again. biggest problems i think will be finding lower rims and a gym where i can properly squat and deadlift though. will have to do more exploring/research to find more resources for jump training

Hey are you still around? I’m headed to hk again and wondering where the low rims are at again lol

need to work on my 1 foot jumping

stuck with RL on the same rim as last time. was absolutely hammering everything down lol. think i'll just stick with RL

100% injury free now. only thing that's bothering me is this callus under my left foot which i'm gonna take care of
