^nah, it's fine a couple of inches below the wrist but beyond that it's not easy to tell or gauge progress .. plus no one wants to jump up and touch a target with their forearm, that's dumb.

lol check your journal.

you dont jump up to touch a target with your forearm (who does?)

adarq did that for years and is back to doing it again. and for those of us shorties who can't dunk reliably highest-touch is one of the (if not *the*) main training tools.

why does BSS make your groin tight? for me it's a loosener.

hit your wrist or forearm on the rim. measure from your fingertips to the point where you hit your wrist. the nerves in your arm are sensitive enough to know whether you hit 10" from the top or 11". problem solved.

ESPN 30 for 30 is great. also the OJ documentary is epic.

but yeah the talking head shows are infuriating. even kornheiser and wilbon, who i loved at first because they were the washington post columnists when i was growing up, are just irritating now.

just don't do what i did last winter and accidentally wear it into a secure government building. foolproof recipe for embarrassment.

long trips in cars, planes, buses -- anything that forces me into a fixed, seated position -- are problematic. specifically, if i can't move my right knee around it gets uncomfortable (although not stiff) and stays that way for hours or even days if the trip is particularly long. that's why even being sedentary at a desk job or on my couch isn't as bad: i can get up and walk around/extend the leg at will.

i can see how a really long walk could hurt. still, i took a leisurely and medium distance (~3.5 miles) walk yesterday and don't think that is problematic. but a really long walk is sneaky fatiguing. and extended standing/slow walking, like a trip to a museum, can also induce knee discomfort.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none (!)
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 10-12
both better and worse than saturday. wasn't getting as high -- residual fatigue from the squats and all the time in the car yesterday i think -- but approaches were much more aggressive. that is what it's supposed to feel like.

- SLRVJ x 5/leg
got up really good on a couple (for me), ~31 range. inconsistent, but as with the DLRVJ at least a couple of these were reasonably aggressive and fast. improvement.

- MB OH toss x 5,5

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- RDL 185 x 10,10

- DB press 40s x 8,8
very strict, dead stop

- DB row 80 x 10,8/arm
DB touches ribs on each rep but i should drop the weight a little and get even fuller ROM like kf

- leg lowers x 20,20

- stretch

okay workout. it's beautiful outside, will probably take a longish walk after lunch.

anyone ever think about getting into personal training for this type of stuff? i've considered it, but it seems like once you teach the basics (squats,deadlifts,sprinting,jumping, etc) theres not much to it, just a long grind. seems like if i wanted to train a client for an extended period of time, i'd have to hold back and draw the process out to try and make the training look more complicated than it actually is lol.

adarq used to do it full-time, t0ddday does it on the side.

i've thought about it and put my toe in the water this year with my parents as "clients." it's a lot more complicated than teach the basics and then monitor the grind. teaching someone how to do something is hard, and everyone is starting from a different place, with different goals.
