are you more aware of ankle extension on SL jumps than DL, in general?

i upvoted a bunch of adarq's posts to restore the natural balance of things. otherwise this weekend was a loss training wise but a huge gain fun/relaxation wise. one of my really good friends got married so there were tons of great friends in from out of town and we just had a blast. now i have a headache and a bit of nausea and am very tired. worth it.

thanks vag.
raptor, go to hell.
left shoulder bothering me today a bit more than normal. no pain at rest but less pain-free ROM in external rotation. good to know.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, low back tightened up during jumping
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ x ~15
got a couple of clean dunks with the mini soccer ball and volleyball, and a bunch more that i back ironed or rattled in. low back started to tighten up so i shut it down. given how shitty i've been feeling this was very encouraging. definitely the highest i've ever jumped in glasses (contacts were bothering me), lol.
- hands-to-elbows plank x 10,10,10
- band pull aparts x 20,20,20
- captains of crush work (i haven't been logging this but i've been doing it a little bit, not enough)
- stretch

you know you can really jump as a short guy when you can tomahawk with both hands off two feet after a dribble approach.

thanks chris!
raptor, the SL hip thrust was primarily glute with a little bit of hamstring thrown in. like 90/10.

took raptor's advice for the most part.
WEIGHT: 175
SORENESS: none but legs still felt a little dead
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, low back a little throughout the day
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
extended stretching, primarily for hips but also a bunch of gentle hanging from the pull up bar with my feet on the ground, moving my shoulders around and easing in and out. turns out i can make my shoulder more limber and less painful by warming it up a lot and stretching. WHO KNEW?!??!
- leg lowers x 10,10
- SL glute thrust x 20,20
- SL hip flexor lift @3s pause x 20,20
- SL RDL bw x 10,10
- bench 225 x 5,5,4
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK i was sooooo close on the last rep. second set was really good, thought i had it in the bag. still a PR.
- bunch of rows, mostly inverted with feet elevated
- hands-to-elbows plank x 10,10
- bent elbow band rotation sequence x 10/e
- shoot around x 10-15 mins
active recovery, i guess. so extremely blown about not hitting 225 x 5,5,5. laughed out loud after i racked the bar on the third set. the spotter was dumb, i'd failed plain and simple but he made me work for it to re-rack and was like "i barely touched it" afterward. he was trying to be nice but it's like, dude, that's not how you spot. i was all ready to take a break from benching, just stick to closed-chain BW stuff for a while. now i gotta try again. still not bad for not having benched in more than a week.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Plyometric give me Metatarsal Pain... >.<

that's interesting, you'll find a lot of people on here favor jumping in the lightest/least-cushioned shoes possible. there's a minimum necessary, of course (except for avishek, who i've seen do a 35+ running jump in bare feet, on a track surface), but for the longest time i jumped exclusively in racing flats. adarq started me at least, and i know some others, on that path. now i've found some tennis shoes that weigh as little as my flats (~7.5 oz) but have that wide and flat sole. may eventually just go back to flats.

nah scooby HAS progressed, raptor, you know that.
still, scooby, acole told you what the problem is. your volume is too high. stop doing so many ground contacts on concrete. it's not about rest periods. and actually, rest for a little bit, stay off your foot. i have a hard time with this, too. raptor is telling me in my thread to dial it back to active recovery today and i want to scream, but i think he's right.
