The biggest concern about doing a lot training but almost no SPP: my body will adapt to lifting and once I'm recovered I'll be slow again because I haven't been doing any speed,plyos,explosive work or any sort of SPP. These sorts of concerns almost make me think I would be better off not doing anything except the stuff I'm doing now

first: that blows, sorry you're hurt especially right at the beginning of the season.

second: definitely do some training. it can't hurt you to be a bit stronger in the upper body and core. you'll de-adapt to speed and jumping whether you sit on your ass and do fuck-all or spend some time in the pool and in the weight room. careful with throwing, it's harder on your knees than it seems because of all the rotation.

still sick, probably giardia, sucking it up and going to the doctor in an hour. and taking a day off work. except i'll still work some today because shit's gotta get done.

not soldiering through feels weak and lame, but after hearing a story about giardia laying a friend of a friend up for weeks, i shall swallow my pride.

EDIT: confirmed, giardia. rx is two separate courses of antibiotics, five days each with a two-day break. nausea is a side effect of the first drug, which should be a blast. no booze until i'm through the treatment. if i feel okay i'll exercise but it'll be of the yoga/lightweight variety, nothing heavy. on the plus side my knee feels okay today.

for DL grip, try hook grip. super uncomfortable at first, hands adapt. makes a big difference.

Hope you feel better soon. I hate throwing up and I'm so bad at it too... haha I literally sound like I'm dying. 

Seems like you and your gorgeous lady friend are spending some quality time together... happy for you man.

TMI, but this was a purely ass-based bout of food poisoning. last time i had it i puked an astonishing amount and had diarrhea, so this time wasn't as bad. still, need to get my hands on some gatorade or similar on my way to work later (working from home this morning).

and yeah, QT is good. fuck me, i'm still embarrassed by that post. 

yesterday

- hike x ~4 miles
had to stop because friend's groin, which she strained running months ago now, started acting up when the going got steep. she wanted to keep going but i initialized anti-ego hiking squad.

tonight

- food poisoning-induced trips to the porcelain throne x 6 and counting
fuuuuuck being sick. left work early, thought i could take a nap and wake up and get some work done, but i feel worse now than i did before. hard to stay hydrated.

No training over the weekend. Spent about 11 hours in the garden basically doing hard labour removing trees and digging. Shoulders and hands took the brunt of the work and didn't feel like training would be of much benefit to me at that point. Back into it tonight.

heavy yard work is the best shit. owning a place with a proper yard is a goal down the line for many reasons, but being able to plant and prune and chop and all that is one.

still trying to increase the range for my 3 pointers too. lower body wise, seems like glutes are very important for shooting.

yep. i'm a bad basketball player so take this with a grain of salt, but when i cue myself to pop my hips when i'm shooting my % skyrockets.
