Hmm... My movement efficiency is absolutely terrible going RL. Im very uncoordinated when i do it, but i get up higher than i feel i should be. Makes me think i can match my LR jump height if i practice it enough.

It doesnt turn into a jumpstop for me at all, though who knows, that might change as i get better at it. Also that reminds me i have to experiment with hopping into an LR plant. Ive done it a few times in the past and it worked really well.

Still not jumping for around a month though. This monday i should be able to squat again. Probably dropped to a 365 max lol. My knee is feeling a lot better.

how is it that we look so good in car window reflections dammit

 

wat.

i knew i wasnt the only one:




I'm kinda cut right now, but the way i look in a car window reflection is absurd. like a bodybuilder or something. just a let down when you see yourself in a normal mirror lol

Still can't squat. I have my ROM back in my knee. At the bottom I still feel a slight pressure from the fluid, but at least my full ROM is back. However, I get a sharp pain on the medial side of my knee at that ROM.

In addition, my knee still feels weird if I half squat or even RDL. It's due to the fluid in there.

I miss squatting
Went to a doc. Knee effusion in the joint and behind the patella. Concerns him that my knee swelled up the next day after playing, rather then pretty quickly. He says it's probably a slight meniscus tear, which is what i suspected. Tells me to ice it and take ibuprofen to get the swelling down. Ok but that's not my main concern. My main concern is that next time I play basketball, how do I know it won't swell up the next day again? Got referred to some sports medicine doctors. They better be able to answer that. But I have a bunch of crap going on with my insurance right now and it's extremely annoying getting it all sorted out.

Got X-rays taken as well. Smooth bones he said, or something. Basically no jagged edges that may be cutting into things.

I still can't squat. My knee is way better than before, but when I bend down all the way there's some pain on the medial side. Maybe by Mon or Thu I can squat and RDL.

I was 193.6lbs this morning, but I feel that it's because I don't have much glycogen in my quads n gluten from no squats/RDLs. Either way, I'm cutting until I get veins on my lower abs.

these are so freaking good

love curry playing PS

Knee felt much better this morning. Walked to class but even walking makes it get restricted a bit. Damn, maybe I need an entire day off of no walking? I wonder what the actual underlying cause of the fluid is though. And maybe it's not fluid, but its swelling of tissue. I have to figure this out.

see a doc?

ya try a few days of barely any movement, just hang out at home nerding it up.. and ice the hell out of it.

yea scheduling an appointment today. havent tried ice, but hot baths reallllly help it out. im a bit against ice, in fact. rather have good blood flow to flush out whatever needs to get out, and to bring in more nutrients
