Want to add some kind of cardio either way. Figured rowing is better than treadmill as it is low impact on joints and also trains you in the anaerobic spectrum too. The ongoing wc affected me too I must admit.
Why not, endurance adaptations?

Was thinking of adding rowing machine, something like 20 minutes mid effort. Every time i go to the gym.
How do you guys feel about this?
Also when should i do it? Before lifting or after, and why?

I am a bball shoes junkie, so is ChrisM, we have both fallen in love with the superflys. But from what i read the 4s are not that bouncy, still a great shoe but 3s and 2s ( that me and ChrisM have ) are better. The 2s is a no-brainer. Great fit, traction, freedom, bounce, stability, cushion, reeealy good shoe, i haven't felt so good in a bball shoe since the original 2008 hyperdunks.
I'd be very curious to try bball shoes with boost sole, but full length, so only the Rose 5 boost choice available. I am waiting for the 'next' iteration since Rose 5 was the first attempt. I still run and jump and solo-practice bb in boost running shoes and this foam is indeed magic, it is the shit. I think i recall you wearing boost trainers too at some pic, no?

That is true, but it is just the way it is measured for reference. I guess it just replicates the olympic games measurement system ( see long jump and triple jump ).
Given the chance, not sure if you people are aware, broad jump WAS an olympic event early on : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_long_jump

Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness : hamstring and glutes very much, quads, shoulders, traps, lower back pretty much
Injuries/aches : none
Shoot around / layups for 45'. Tons of sweat. I'm a wreck, body is like 'WTF is happening? i was doing nothing for 3 weeks and now i've got weights and runs and jumps daily, mercy!!!'
Some RVJs in the end, repeatable 30'' RVJ. Very optimistic about having 30'' as a base, dead tired, ultra sore, unused to jumping, on dusty slippery cement.
Stretch.

Would you like to give us some more detail about how this whole shit happened? How do you get accused for murder, by mistake, to the point of being locked up? And for how long? How was the mistake finally realized? And what happens then, they say 'oops, sorry'? Can you go to trial to demand some kind of compensation, i don't know what and from who?
I realize it is a very personal and 'delicate' issue though so if you don't want to share it is perfectly fine.
back anyway, NOW PUT MORE SPRINTS VOLUME IN!!! lol

Yup, that was it, finding the groove of the movements. 'back' was meant to denote that i am not finding a new movement groove but one i had in the past and lost ( due to de-training ), again as you said. It is what i mentioned indeed, direct Greek to English translation, words adding up, sentence making sense, but sentence is still 'weird'. And i'd never know. I agree it is fascinating.

Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness : quads very much, glutes, chest, lasts pretty much.
Injuries/aches : none
Shoot around / layups for 45'. Finding back the movements groove here too ( LBSS :
)
Some jumps in the end. Repeatable 29'' dropstep /30'' RVJ, very happy with that with all the rustiness and soreness considered.
Foam roll IT bands and quads. PAIN!
Stretch.

lol, tell me already, i asked.
First paragraph was useless, no reason to apologize or explain, i never had any doubts about the intentions and innocence of those posts. Its not you, its me, i said i know i am wrong.
Oh and it does create some very funny/awkward results indeed when people use the syntax and idiomatic expressions of their own language in direct translation to the language they use.

I guess it sounded Greek to you!
What was wrong? 'finding back' , 'movements groove', both? i was trying to say that body is slowly catching up, movement starts to feel more natural but not there yet.
ALSO, i know you are not mocking but correcting and it is useful and educational all and bla bla bla but grammar/syntax correction posts still feel annoying and aggressive and offensive to me. Even more to foreigners. Also not towards me, towards anyone. I notice many mistakes all the time too but i don't mention them. I know i am wrong but it doesn't change how i feel.
So fuck you, you obnoxious arrogant grammar nazi!!! Ahhhh, nice, I feel much better now

Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness : hamstrings & glutes much, quads, biceps, triceps, shoulders less
Injuries/aches : none
Went to the park. Shot around for ~45'. Very out of it as expected. Very stiff, slow, unfit. Butt and hamstrings hurting at every step didnt help either.
Did some jumps at the end, was getting repeatable 10'4'' / 29''. Could squeeze 30'' but didn't, no point. Not that bad considering.
