Mate you're getting back up there lately. Great stuff.

Thanks Coges. I'm still a fair way off where I used to be though.

I played pick up today for 3 hours. My team won every game in king of the courts.

I did 10 dunk attempts and only managed to land 1 of them so my best vertical is around 34 inches atm. I can't even touch the rim from standing vertical (26 inches for me to touch the ring) but with a run up I'm able to get 30+ on every attempt.

34" = good stuff ^^

that first miss is amazing, can't wait to see someone hit that.

foot is feeling better.. but definitely shouldn't run with this type of possible injury. rested.

got tons of coding done today.. also potentially found something in the purescript compiler that could be optimized. I simply created an issue though and will let them think about it.. Those guys are freaks so they'll be know whether it can be improved or not, instantly.

fuck my foot. ;f

it's just one glute or both? if both, nice.. if one, eek.

if you've ever done heavy high volume squatting, heavy high volume lunging, you should have experienced something like that before.. glutes so sore you can barely walk and simply touching them is very painful.

hope it's just BAD doms and nothing more.

  it is also very healing and enhances athleticism no matter what sports you do.  and put in enough time and effort, you can increase your flexibility.  granted it might be a very slow process for some but, never the less everyone can improve their flexibility.

I favor stretching being beneficial most entirely due to personal experiences with it. There's times where i've stretched a ton the day prior, then the next day I feel springier than ever.

 It was "permanent" flexibility, in the sense that, when I woke up, I could easily get my heel to my butt without any "working into it".. legs just felt so loose/springy. Love that feeling.

I agree with both of these posts. Stretching especially helps me prepare for a big tournament. I just stretch+roll and feel so bouncy the next day

I didn't read the articles.. But I wanted to say that stretching helps me prep recovering joints for harder forces and extreme ranges of motion.

nice

I have complained about my poor hamstring flexibility but I have seen marked short-term improvements after pushing RDL ROM with a locked back. RDL's are essentially PNF stretches, so I can attest for the effectivness of that. If I did consistent PNF stretches I think I would develop much better flexibility

ya RDL's are solid for hamstring flexibility.

There's also AIS which seems alot safer than PNF. I personally don't like the ~10-15s ISO portion of PNF stretching.. I like AIS better.. though I tend to do lots more static lately. I should experiment more with AIS again (I haven't been able to find my stretch rope for a while now, which is probably why I haven't done any rope stretches):

For example this guy has some nice videos:

pc!

mandatory rest day.. if I ran i'd probably risk seriously hurting my right foot.. some bones in there are painful.. no swelling though. not worried about it.. but if i did push it, probably would end up bad.
