It's been a couple weeks since I tore my hamstring. I'm playing in a 3 v 3 basketball tournament in 4 days time. I haven't even tried running yet so hopefully my body holds up :-X

the place where mcnulty buys the ribbon in the last season is my ex's old grocery store. it's right next to hopkins undergrad campus.

Funny you should mention that as I'm up to watching season 5 now. 'So one thieving politician trumps 22 dead bodies? Good to know'.

The case has come to an unimaginable end, of course I was released thanks to god, but my father was also involved and he never got released and court just finished and they put my dad and the guy who did the actual stabbing on the same count of GBH  :huh:, even though my dad is innocent, it was a jury trial and I have a big feeling that the recent terrorists attacks from ISIS and the recent attempt from a so called muslim to do another slaughter job in UK at the memorial day march of the troops may have been the motivation behind their decision, as well as the city where the jurors was chosen from are patriotic and have racists there. I am going to tell the solicitor to appeal, there was no evidence against my dad and still.
but it's a test and I have to be patient in these times. (alhamdulillah) all things whether good or bad are predestined to happen.

Sorry to hear man. I got locked up for a couple months back in 2008 when I was only 17 for a gang fight in which somebody got stabbed to death. I was involved fighting with other people  but I had nothing to do with his death, but I got locked up along with 5 others until my charge got dropped because they had nothing but heresay against me, which was all bullshit because the people we were fighting hated me so they made up shit to the police. It was a stressful time in my life but the truth always comes out in the end. I probably would've got out if I snitched on my friend but I just kept my mouth shut because I knew they had no evidence. When I got locked up I got sent to a juvenile detention and obviously it wasn't as good as having your freedom but nobody fucked with me inside and I made a few friends. These days I don't associate with those people anymore because I've changed my life for the better. I don't know what the system like in England but your dad should be fine inside until he gets out.

good to hear about the hamstring. did it ever end up bruising? do you think it's going to heal up faster than you initially expected?

also..  :highfive: @ The Wire.. such a great show. What season are you on?

pc!

Well initially when I tore it there wasn't that much pain compared to the one I had in 2012 so I thought it was only going to take a couple of weeks or a month at most to heal. I woke up the next day and it felt a lot worse than the day before and I was limping and this continued on from Tuesday morning to Friday when I could finally walk freely. However, there was no bruising so I know it can't be that severe. My achilles (left one mainly) is still giving me issues I need to do more eccentric loading with it to try and heal it up.

The Wire is such a boss show. I ended up binge watching The Wire last night and finished Season 3 but I've actually seen the whole series before. In terms of favorite Seasons for me it's 3,4,1,5,2.

The more I watch The Wire the more I end up hating Carcetti.  Watching Season 3 it's hard watching Stringer continually ignore Marlo as a threat and think he can civilize people. After playing Brother Mouzone he was always on borrowed time, but under Stringer's watch the Barksdale organisation fell apart because he tried to run it as a business and lost sight of the fact that it was violence and reputation that was what got them there and kept people in check. You could see he had completely lost his mind when he asked Slim Charles to hit Senator Davis.

BODYWEIGHT- 90.1KG

5 days later and I can finally walk without limping. I lasted 8 days without drinking as well but I slipped up last night and had 7 beers and a couple of barcadi and cokes. I'm supposed to go to my girlfriends sisters party tonight but I might just stay home and watch The Wire instead because I know if I go out I won't be able to resist getting on the piss. I'm planning to hit the gym up again now that my hamstring is letting me walk again- obviously just stick to upper body lifting for now though.

13th December-
Bodyweight- 89.9KG
Waist- 38.5 inches
Bodyfat- 22.8%

6-7 times a week squatting or deadlifting!?

I'd deadlift once a week max and stick to only squatting twice a week (one heavy and one speed session) considering you've got bad knees. I wouldn't go crazy on the plyometrics either. Just play basketball a couple of times a week and do a few jumps/dunks and try and increase the work load over time if your knees aren't getting aggravated.

1616
had it in mind to go to the gym tonight to do the rest of the workout but it's 9 PM and i just got home after starting work at 7:30 AM. and i have a call in 5-10 minutes. no gym tonight.

That sucks :(

I struggled to sleep last night because of my hamstring. I think I've actually torn it instead of just tweaked it. I iced it last night and there's no bruising but I can't walk properly or bend over so it's fucked. All I can do now is focus on my diet. I do love running but I"m becoming disillusioned with it. This is the 3rd hamstring tear in 4 years that I've had now. I'm thinking of playing social basketball now instead because this is just mentally and physically fucking me.

fuck.... ;/

you said it in one of your previous posts, got to listen to your body man.. right now rest up, don't mess with it. hopefully it's not as bad as you think it is.

when you're healthy again (in the near future), pin your recent post about ego/listening to your body and use it to help keep you in check. the most important thing in this hobby of ours is staying healthy. We MUST keep that as our #1 priority. Once you're healthy again (and you will be), don't let yourself make this mistake again. If we get hurt in an actual competitive event, it makes more sense; but not in training. We all fall victims to this (overdoing it in training). I know I have several times. It's always on my mind, i'm always trying to stay healthy. It's kind of like putting our hands on a stove but instead of it feeling hot/burning us, it feels great and then burns us.

Yeah it was such a stupid thing to do especially just in training. I should've just kept doing intensive tempo and built up my base whilst losing weight and gaining my weight room strength back. My hamstring feels dreadful now. I can't walk without limping but it's not bruised. I probably have a Category II tear.

I saw this post in another thread but this pretty much sums it up for me:

"Sprinters have a tendency to go too fast in training--I know I do, and I know others who do. In my case, the "season" here up north is short and I am impatient to run fast quickly. That's a recipe for injury, and it happens all the time with sprinters.

There is a BIG catch-22 in sprint training: the better your sprinting form, the less likely you are to get injured; but you need to train a lot during a period of bad form in order to achieve good form, which is a recipe for injury. So slowly building up in the sprints to good form, AND THEN MAINTAINING THE TRAINING is essential, as that is the way to really avoid injury. The problem is that people take breaks, and resume training with bad form, and get injured, and then stop sprint training altogether.

Because of the injury cycle related to sprint training and the pain of overdistance training, almost no post-collegians train for sprints, and unless you can take a break in the middle of the day to train with college or pro guys, you will be training largely alone, which can suck.

So bad form combined with a built-in desire to go too fast and a bad pain profile sets up the perfect storm for injury, which repeats itself, and is a drag to deal with, especially alone as sprinters often have to".

This year has just been really bad. Barely played rugby and managed to break my cheekbone. Barely did any physical activity, yet somehow developed Achilles tendinitis. Barely went back to running and managed to pull my hamstring :(

Edit- Just saw your edit. I'm not sure where the insertion point is but my pain is around the middle of the hamstring. I'm definitely taking your advice and just resting it though.

Apart from the gym I might also turn my attention back to my vertical and dunking again as well- that is why I joined this site in the first place. Obviously I'd need to get lighter though otherwise I'll just destroy my achiles/joints.

SORENESS-
Calves/Achilles
Hamstrings

TRACK-
I was planning to do 3x200m but than after the meet on Saturday I felt like doing 100s instead.

Stretch/Warm Up

1x100m- 13.0
4 minutes rest
1x100m- 13.1
4 minutes rest
1x100m- 13.1
4 minutes rest
1x100m- 13.2
4 minutes rest
1x100m- 13.2
4 minutes rest-
1x100m- 13.1
4 minutes rest
1x100m- I tweaked my hamstring. My hamstrings were feeling sore after the weekend and already during the session I was planning not to lift weights tonight but I pushed myself because I wanted to keep up the low 13 speed. Between the 40m-50m mark I felt my right hamstring pull.

I won't be able to run or do any squats for a couple of weeks now. Full speed sprinting is probably out of the question for at least a month. This is just typical I never listen to my body. During my warm up my right hamstring was already feeling tight but I tried to work through it, which was a mistake. I should've just called it a day after the 4th rep but instead I had planned to do 8 100s. At the very least I should've reduced the speed but my ego/head said otherwise to my detriment. #Injuryprone
