Happened in game, came down from a layup thought id just sprained it badly looked down and my toes were pointing towards my left shoulder (right foot) paramedics ambulance etc came said it was almost through the skin. Had oxygen, morphine and then got put out so they could put it back into place which they did and then shoved it in a plaster cast.

Somehow no fractures although probably some quite extensive ligament damage. Have been told im going to be stuck in a cast for 4-5 weeks and then gradual mobilisation through pt.

that is horrible & I really hope you heal up completely from it :/

Just wondered if anybody knew of anything I can do to speed the healing/prevent long term problems as much as possible or

not much you can really do except eat good/clean, follow their recommendations (elevation/immobility etc), and rest + good sleep every night..

failing that entertain myself over the next few months with no ball!

irc keeps me entertained, so does watching movies & video editing.. when i tore my calf i was unable to walk for a few months, so i watched nba league pass, irc'd, coded (computer programming), and relaxed, it worked good.

peace man

10/13/2010 - DIDNT DO SHIT!

bw = 152
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left ankle, lower back
fatigue = medium



ok uh.. i spent ALL DAY (5pm - 5am) pretty much, editing this dunk video.. it should be epic, i did some very cool shit in it.. im rendering right now, will upload before i sleep.

got my weighted vest, no weight plates will fit in it etc, so i have to find my old ankle weight 'iron bars' (small weights), i should have a ton of those.

surprisingly i am 152 before sleeping, i think i burned like 2000 kcal just editing this video, brain power cardio.



peace

Brain power cardio ftw!! I eat so much when Im at school.

- Hackers (not that epic, but for some reason I never get tired of it)
- In the hands of god (a movie about big wave surfers)
- Ong bak
- Tom yum goong

hackers was great, even though the actual hacking scenes were so pathetic, the movie itself is boss.. love that movie.

Thanks mang. And yeah, the braces are no fun. (especially getting them at my age) The first hour or two after I got them didn't feel too bad, but it started getting worse. My older brother gave me some words of comfort in a text message during lunch.

I quote.... "It's going to hurt like hell for a few days"

I figure I might as well let the pain in my mouth fuel my rage while I lift. (maybe it helps, I don't know)

Anyway. A.P. Day 9:

Rest day

Hamstrings are feeling sore from GHR yesterday, but it's not the painful soreness I was feeling last week. The soreness is kind of numbing and I can tell they're recovering and getting stronger, so it feels pretty good. During school I was running late, so I ran to a couple classes. I was surprised by how bouncy I felt even with my backpack on. Muscles are feeling like springs lately.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get onto the track and do a 110m hurdles endurance workout.



awesome:

that's a good sign man.. gotta keep this going.. all of my biggest pr's came when i feel very bouncy during everyday activities.. it's just so much more reflexive power/strength in every movement.

Bball practice.
Exhausting!
Got some good jumps in , all in extremely fatigued state , dropstep ~30'' , 2 and 3 steps mostly 32'' to 32,5''.
In a 2-step jump i got both hands 3d knuckle at rim.
In another 2-step jump touched  32'' on my way down , definately 33'' at peak , season best!

niiiiiice!$!@$

After seeing that everybody wanted me to dunk , tried 2 times but lost ball palming on my way up , FAIL! :D

have you ever done anything like MR tuck jumps/pogos/depth drops for improving your force absorption?

I used to do 2 strenght days and then 1 jump/depth drops day and my vert went up and it was according to my strenght level but the 2" diference between my cmj and running was still there and then I lost some strenght lol and my vert went down.

ya well, that gap might increase a little, but it'll be nowhere near a "naturally reactive jumper's" gap.. i mean we have people on here with 10+" gaps between SVJ/RVJ, so, if you got 2-4" more inches of gap between SVJ/RVJ you'd be maxed out there.. it's doable with adding more reactive work, not only drops etc, but things like tuck jumps, pogos, low box dj's, sprints, etc.. the idea is to get the reactive work in with a higher frequency than you normally would, so, each training session you do (say you do 4 a week) would have reactive work in it.. this will help you achieve & maintain more "bounce" (reactive ability).

The funny thing is that 2 months later, after a night of alcohol (to clean my body and spirit) and only 4 hours of sleep, I went to the court and I was explosive as never before. I hitted my PRs and maybe 0.5-1" higher.

that is odd........ heh!

could have been some dehydration, not sure.. you weren't training leading up to that right, in those 2 months? if you weren't training, then that is odd.. if you were, then it makes more sense.

bw = 153
soreness = none
aches/injuries = back a little, left knee a bit(still bugging from that 225 @ 4 x 15 session on squat, F that shit)
fatigue = low

workout #1: jumps + lifting
- jumps started out shitty, felt weak, focused though and got up better, still a bad session today, what can i expect though, havn't been jumping max in the last 5 days or so and bad sleep today (8am to 2pm).. whatever, will jump again max on thurs..
- hit 30" on RL plant from 2 step (which is good)
- hit 33" on LR plant from full runup (not great but i did hit it like 10 times, so at least happy with that.. took like 10-15 jumps just to get to 33 then i was hitting it more often.. thursday will probably be better, might caff up again dno.
- OH YA, my glute cramped/strained early on in the jump session.. might have had a little to do with it.. glute cramp is a good sign though.

- PIN 9 SQUAT (PARALLEL OR BELOW, dno): 205 x 3 (actually tough, but kept it light cause of my glute)
- pullups: mostly neutral grip, one set chinup:  5, 10, 10, 10, cup(10), 8, 8



workout #2:
- glute bridges, 1s pause at top: 4 x 100
- CURRENTLY DOING: calf raises: going for 10 sets of 50, glutes are dying hah


peace!

Damn nice on the video!
It's actually so good that it looks more like a bad pro work than like a great amateur one.
^^^
That's somehow a great compliment! :D

haha thanks!

if i had a team helping me, like, telling them the kind of shot i wanted etc, it would have come out alot better.. seems to be my recurring problem, shooting from too far away.. i need to go with my gut on how far to put the cam, THEN move in 10-20 feet closer hah..

i want to make some really weird/insane vids, it's kind of hard going out there and shooting that kind of thing by yourself, it feels a bit nutty hehe!@$!@ finally manned up though and got one of these videos done, that i have in my 'todo list'.. i have so much more, have to keep manning up and make some cool stuff.

it seems most of the stuff will be a bit eery/sadistic/creepy, dno why.. i'm kind of taking stuff i dream about, and put it on vid.. i mean if i could get good at doing that, i'd be very happy.. !!!!!

peace man
