Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Recovery from quadricep tendonitis

haven't lifted for almost 2 weeks now, have just been randomly doing my pistol squats at home. doesn't bother my quad tendon at all, infact, im only hearing clicks and pops in my right, uninjured knee. just did some randomly but then decided to do some full sets, ended up doing 2x10 pretty easily. cant wait to get a vest, i think that these might end up being my bread and butter in place of an ATG squat.

thanks guys. will definitely be doing this. i think the hard part will be looking for the vest lol.

i actually train better at home here though lol. i've got my own mini court in my backyard where i have had most of my dunk sessions. also am thinking about getting a barbell set up in my basement for deadlifts.

i've tried a dumbbell before, but it's way too distracting and im not sure if i have bad upper body endurance, but it was harder keeping the dumbbells up than the actual exercise lol. and yea, i'm gonna do them on a chair or box lol. i can just let my off leg hang and not worry about holding it up/testing my flexibility like everybody else is so concerned with lol. i have squat shoes too, but probably gonna do them flat footed. i'm not entirely sure of the difference, but doing them with the squat shoes probably will help with the butt wink, but at the same time make it more knee dominant.

just came up with a great idea: weighted vest "pistol" squats. i'd have to look around for a 100+ pound weighted vest though, cause i can really crank them out bodyweight, and i go ATG too.

also, when i do "pistol" squats i always stand on something like a chair or box when i do them to get the flexiblity thing out the way. i guess they're more like single leg ATG squats then instead of pistol. i also get that on the internet, and even in real life, people will always point out that a true pistol squat is done on the ground, and i'm always wondering why people choose to do that. is it an ego thing just to show off how flexible you are? cause if not, why put in the flexibility factor when you're just trying to use it as a unilateral exercise to strengthen your legs?

have been sick. think i'm gonna give it a go with ATG squats once i'm better. who knows, it might actually benefit my quadricep tendon? i can do ATG pistol squats and BW ATG squats without pain, so maybe doing them weighted will give some benefit.

been back to playing pickup recently, mostly half court. my 2 foot bounce is pretty huge playing half court, when people don't know how to box me out, i grab a ton of rebounds and also get plenty of put backs.

also really like being able to get up high enough off 1 foot to just casually put the ball into the rim lol. during pickup is the only time i jump off one, and it's not been bothering me, so thats a positive. something i want to do though, more so in full court is to be able to dunk competently 2 handed, off 1 foot lol. i just think it'd be a fun thing to have in my arsenal, and it'd also be a positive, being able to finish with 2 handed dunks in transition, cause i have my fair share of blown layups on fast breaks lol.

yea that sounds good, i'll separate my sprint distances and running then. running 50m 5 times last week after a few jumps was pretty good on me, so i think i'll stick to around that volume.

also, the other main reason i want to start having sprint sessions was because i was hoping to get back to jumping off one foot by next summer. i was thinking that sprinting and jumping off one went hand in hand basically. any futher insight on this?

lol.

yea, 100m definitely isn't short at all lol. i sprinted around 50m last week and it  felt long for me, i wonder if i'll even have enough gas to finish 100m all the way thru. i was thinking 100m being the shortest cause i'll be heading to an outdoors track next time and i'm not sure if they'll have lines for 30 and 60 metres.

i wanna do it for two main reasons: i enjoy sprinting/timing myself for longer distances and because i wanna get back to jumping off one foot by next summer, and i think that sprinting/running will help.

did sprints last week on wednesday too. think it was around 50 meters.  ran it 5 times and that was pretty good. did it after basketball and a few jumps. one day i wanna just show up to a track and do a full sprinting session though, but not sure how i'd do it. i think a good way to do it is to start from shortest distance to longest. maybe 100m 5 times, then 400m thrice, then time myself for a mile run? does that seem like too much or too little?

i see. yea, that seems like a nice experience for you. extremely stressful yes, but helping people achieve their goals and seeing the results has to be really rewarding. i actually don't think i'm gonna get into this whole thing as a job now though lol. i honestly don't know how i'd deal with that type of pressure and having people put their trust in you. also, this is just stuff i enjoy, so i don't wanna make my work the same thing as my job.

Ah I see. I was thinking more specifically with doing it for athletes. Even more specifically for people that want to dunk lol. If I can earn decent money training people then that'd be great, but if not itd still be an enjoyable thing to train someone to dunk.

Trap bar deadlifts 315 lbs x5,5,5

anyone ever think about getting into personal training for this type of stuff? i've considered it, but it seems like once you teach the basics (squats,deadlifts,sprinting,jumping, etc) theres not much to it, just a long grind. seems like if i wanted to train a client for an extended period of time, i'd have to hold back and draw the process out to try and make the training look more complicated than it actually is lol.

in my exp. the shoe weight makes no difference lol. unless you were wearing something as heavy as hiking boots thats when it counts, but all ball shoes weigh about the same, i guess the only difference is the placebo a light shoe would give you lol.

great feedback from every1!

i really need to find a place locally that has some kobe's to try on.. i've stopped by some stores occasionally to see if they had them, and they never had any in stock.

you'll probably only find kobe 11's at stores now. there's 2 versions, the elite and the EM. i read a lot of reviews, and apparently the elite's traction is trash, while the EM's traction is better, but still not close to kobe 9 level.

think i'm gonna get the nike zoom streak lt 3's next. hope the cushion is as thin as the 2's so i can pass as 5'11 again lol.
