there's all kinds of shit you can do for your back that aren't DL variations, GMs or pendlay rows. any DB row variation, shrugs, hypers/reverse hypers, regular barbell rows, cable rows a la king(fish), pull ups and chin ups, and on and on.

EDIT: or, you know, light rack pulls. there's not absolute need to go heavy from day one. why not start with light rack pulls? why did you start with heavy deads, anyway?

why are you wearing capris? i generally like to wear shorts when playing sports, but i guess that's just a personal preference. aren't capris supposed to be a little tighter?

ffffffffffffffake.

No shit?! I thought he was fast enough to catch the ball in a full court sprint, jump and finish the alleyoop. Thanks for clarifying that.

plus keep working upper body. and maybe unilateral stuff for your legs until the realignment allows you to do bilateral stuff again? just a suggestion. hope you feel better.

also, for core, new favorite exercise is windshield wipers. challenging, relatively unloaded, and easy to progress (i.e., start in a tuck with small range of motion and then gradually work on extending your legs and your ROM). added bonus of challenging grip.

two nights ago:

i was in a strange, big apartment with a huge, double-wide chaise longue kind of thing in the main room made up as a bed. it was white or off-white. my gf and i were alone in the apartment and we fucked on the chaise longue. then she went to some other part of the apartment to take a shower or do whatever and i stayed lying down. an old coworker of mine came into the apartment. not an unattractive woman, nice big raptor/mobuto-friendly ass-to-waist ratio, but not someone i'd get with in real life (even if single). i was still naked but under the covers. she came over and talked to me for a while and it was clear that she wanted to have sex with me. i did not want to cheat on my gf but somehow in the dream i could not resist and i ended up fucking her in exactly the same sequence as i just had my gf. then she got up, got dressed, and left. while it was happening i was pretty sure my gf could hear, at least faintly, from the part of the apartment that she was in. after the coworker left my gf came back into the room and she was trying to play it cool but i knew she knew. she has a bad poker face and i could see that she was almost crying. i was very sheepish and tried to pull the covers up around myself to hide the fact that i was still naked, but i ended up just looking guilty. gf sat on a chair by the foot of the chaise longue and said, "how could you do that?" and i just babbled out some incoherent excuse. i was ashamed and confused as to why i'd done it. then i woke up.

never cheated on anyone in real life.

LBSS, I think you've got it all wrong...


it's not IF you ever dunk, it's WHEN. ;)

insh'allah, brother. been feeling kind of discouraged about it recently, though.

btw fuck all you hos with your "only in-game dunks are worthwhile" shit. if i ever dunk, it will be in perfect conditions with myself or someone else lobbing the ball and no one else on the court. that will be good enough for me.

LOL.  And once you do that.... You will salivate at the idea of doing it in different conditions and start playing pickup basketball and following every single missed shot with a run-up and rim hang, hoping to get the right moment.  Then once you get one of those you will start cherrypicking hoping to get a breakaway dunk...  You will keep improving and wanting more cause thats the mindset of an athlete and that's what got you here in the first place. 

Don't you already have a 36 inch vertical jump?  If so can't you already throw down the perfect lob?  IMO it would be more impressive to see you touch 10'5 or 10'9 or whatever is sorta equivalent to that feat.

oh for sure, but i'm saying that for now, i'll be happy to just dunk a ball off a lob. that will equal mission accomplished, and that's my point. my mission, with all the deviations and false starts and whatnot i've had over the past few years, has been to dunk. dunking means pushing a ball down through the hoop from above the hoop. anything beyond that is gravy.

my DLRVJ right now is garbage because of months of insufficient practice because of lack of court access. i'm starting to fix that, belatedly. all-time PR was about 35", enough to dunk a dodgeball but not enough to put a basketball in off a lob.

raptor and i are talking about different things. not sure about Rx, guess i'd start with strengthening/activating hip external rotators. so clamshells, x-band walks, squats with a band around your knees, that kind of thing.
