was thinking about bulgarian split squats with dumbbells. problem is that im not sure about the position of the foot im working on. not sure how much the knee should travel forward or how far out my foot needs to be.

317
am finally back to deadlifting. taking it easy though, 225 for 5,5,4. played ball too, am continuing to jump off LR with no pain. anyone have any other suggestions for exercises?

318
i see. well when i get back to training im gonna be all about hip dominant exercises. hopefully can broad jump 9 ft+ before returning to squatting again.

319
hmm, no pain when i drop into a full bodyweight squat. will probably be hitting deadlifts soon to see whether they still hurt or not

320
got back onto the court for the first time in a long time. no problems shooting around, and then i went for some rim grabs. no pain off LR, but still getting pain in my left knee off RL. hmm it might be that im so used to a really knee dominant RL plant? i seem to be a lot more flexible and hip dominant when i plant LR, and there is like no pain. in fact, i actually felt a little tingling on my right knee planting LR. anyone have any insight?

lol yea, i like to see how high and far these guys run, and how fast they are in the 40 yd dash. really beastly to jump 40+ inches from a standstill while weighing 200+ lbs. unfortunately there are no 6'0 155 lbs NFL players, so i cant compare size with them lol. and yea, nba players arent THAT explosive as everyone thinks, the NFL makes them look like WNBA athletes lol. you cant blame them though i guess, cause you need to have a lot more conditioning rather than pure explosiveness. also, basketball is requires more skill which you can use to make up any athletic disadvantages you have

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

yup i read about that. also read they still do that in some countries as a competition

totally. for americans the most famous broad jump "competition" is the NFL combine.

aha yup. always watched the NFL occasionally but have just started to get into the NFL combine, and am amazed at how beastly the athletes are

oh, thats the way i've been doing it. doesnt doing it that way subtract the length of my foot from what i actually jumped though?

325
just to confirm, when you measure your Broad jump with measuring tape you line up the start your heels right? it seems like a lot of people line the front of their foot at the start

326
i see. gonna get an MRI soon, hopefully will determine what it is.

327
hmm, im actually confused as to exactly what knee injury i have. i actually dont feel any pain on the tendon above my knee when i press on it. the patellar tendon seems fine too

328
anyone else also suffer from chronic knee tendinitis/tendonosis?

329
might have go for a longer break. my condition hasn't been tendonitis for a long time now, just tendonosis. will take a long time for the tendon to get better again

330
ah i see. will definitely stick to my RL plant then when i get back to dunking.
