some serious stretching last night.

~20 minutes or so long "hold", legs out to the sides, palms on ground, slowly changing leg width/hand position (left, middle, right).. i think this is an important one for me because it hits a few things simultaneously: adductors, hamstrings, back, glutes slightly.

afterwards, probably the deepest ive gone into hamstring stretches, and it wasn't forced at all. relaxed, long holds, like lying my chest onto my knee. wtf.

felt great all day (today = the next day).

did some SLIGHT tests of injury areas, didnt feel em`.

i imagine they'll pop up tomorrow .. but ya, relaxed some stuff in there.

Was a complete food fest this weekend

lol. what'd you have?

crazy box jumps as usual. sl one looking smooth.

with single vs double, the simple process of "thinking" about the jump might cause too much interference with the speed of a single leg jump. for a double, you're on the ground longer, so it's probably not as much of a problem. but for single, those conscious mental signals slow it down a bit. in a game, you're mind is on something else (or blank and just reacting) and you just perform the movement relaxed & free.

so maybe don't worry about it as much in training. because in games/amp'd up sessions, you probably will be able to let loose more and get that extra performance bump. as long as you're getting those movements in, it'll get you ready for the epic jumps.

Has anyone here tried to transition from a power type to a speed type SL jump?

towards the end of my dunk lyfe i did. i rushed into it though. after a few months of L-SLRVJ'n, my thigh got wrecked and I couldn't jump. I was getting up pretty good too.

but it happened out of nowhere.

one day i just wasn't landing any DLRVJ dunks, so I said let me try an L-SLRVJ and i got way up. was crazy. then i started trying to shift completely into a single leg jumper, which felt much more normal for me.

these jumps happened when my left leg (jump leg) was really wrecked. sux. had tons of potential with it and was enjoying it more than dlrvj (because of the speed component).

pc!

light day. wanted to do a long run but, inhaling bugs caused me to stop. if u inhale one, it can make you cough violently while running.. feels scary.

got a haircut.
- first hair cut in years.. lol.



07/03/2019:
- morning bw: 151
- feel good
- injury area = achy/painful when i "test it" .. it's like i've made 0 progress when I test it.
- did some light stretch/position stuff on it while at work, loosened it up a bit.
- felt great during the light run .. have felt great afterwards as well.
- really want this thing to go away. i'm at the point where i legitimately don't care about racing again etc, just want to relax and enjoy running (which I basically can do right now), but not worry about light runs potentially causing damage to the injury etc. ie, just want it to disappear so i can run light knowing i'm doing something good for me, not something that could be preventing things from healing.

dinner:
- basmati rice + {sauteed red bell pepper + jalapeno} + avocado + salt, 2 chicken tenders

10:00 AM: bw
- strong
- 5-10sec paused dead hang ng pullups: BW x 6
- full dips: BW x 8

08:00 PM: light: 57 min ::: (grass/dirt/rocks) /// nose breathed the entire time due to bugs
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2502362399
- felt great
- nose breathing wasn't easy tho
- eventually it caused me to abdominal cramp
- if it hadn't, i had planned on running for 2-3 hours eeh.

USA/FRA was great.

so was USA/ENG.

women's world cup is awesome. such high level play.

Ankle nearly fully better, recovery been good. Unfortunately have had this horrible tension headache for like 3 days that's made exertion very hard, so had to bail when I tried to lift. Hopefully back on track tmrw for some upper work.

good news!
