WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: chest cold
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- avishek depth jumps x 5
- one-step RVJ x 8
- squat
basically the only dude in my current gym who seems halfway qualified to give people advice on training commented on my warm up set with 225 that my right shoulder was dipping in the hole. i asked him to tape me, and while i'm not as uneven with the bar because i was thinking about it, you can clearly see me rotating in the hole to get deeper. left hip is def more tight and i'm paying for that. not good, must fix. nothing feels out of whack, but that's bad because it means some lower back shit could sneak up on me. need to get right with squatting again.
phone is being annoying but i'll put the vid up when i can get it on yt.
- deep paused squats 225 x 3,3,3
- deep long-pause squats (~5s pause) 135 x 3,3,3
- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 50s x 7,5
-- pull up +15 x 7,5
- superset x 2
-- inverted row x 10
-- hands-to-elbows x 10
- stretch
interesting.

hit 35" off of three steps. that's an all-time PR for anything less than a full run-up.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Ankle Sprain Questions n Stuff
« on: January 02, 2015, 09:20:22 am »If anyone has input of how proper recovery would be planned in this scenario, I'd like to hear it. I have a followup evaluation on the 13th, where I'll get fitted for a brace.
listen to your doctor/PT.

I want to start hang cleaning and squatting, how long will it take to get back to speed?
longer than you want it to. do not do these if there is any pain.
Quote
Are unilateral exercises for only one leg useful for strength training until then?
yes. also, there's some evidence that stretching can also help maintain strength in the absence of any other work, so you can/should keep doing that as well on the injured leg.
rule #1 is don't do anything that aggravates the injury. rule #2 is let it heal, you're not a professional athlete whose livelihood depends on being able to play.

yeah i think a lot of those numbers would improve just from weight loss. here's the hip video i was talking about:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBHzXF-mVjY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBHzXF-mVjY</a>
fwiw i also add a bit of hamstring stretching and pigeon stretch to this sequence, at the end. hamstring is: plant the forward foot and shift the hips back and torso down until i feel a stretch, stretch/release. pigeon stretch is what it is, but always moving around a little and "pressing into the corners" as starrett puts it. not static.
