downvoted for the text portion, upvoted for the great pic. so, no vote. nice work on that jump, you're getting really close!

lolololololololol that video is cracking me up. something about the insistence of your pointing. haahhahahahahahahahahaha

in seriousness, probably can't hurt to keep doing glute activation stuff like those banded bridges. also, just a guess, but working on posture throughout the day might help -- the first big takeaway i had from starrett's book is that engaging your glutes is sine qua non for maintaining proper posture. something i've been doing consciously throughout every day and it seems to be helping. i even noticed having an easier time maintaining a good stance while playing tennis yesterday. just a thought.

just added a new column to the progress tracker: mobility (y/n). i've set my first three activities to focus on (forgive the california-inflected names):

1. lacrosse/tennis ball forearm smash
2. t-spine extension smash
3. hip capsule mobilization

i will spend at least 15 minutes working on these things every day (~5 minutes each). if i have extra time, i'll go deeper on one or more of them or work on something else that's a consistent problem. this is over and above what i do during workouts anyway. when i feel like i've made some progress on a given exercise, i'll swap it out for something else that i need to work on.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, right toe tweaked during a sprint start but not badly
MENTAL STATE: okay, happy

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds x 4

- sprint 30m x 6
worse than last week, which is annoying because i was much fresher today and it wasn't as hot. 4.06 to 4.30, although those were probably too generous/ungenerous. probably like 4.16-18 for most except the fastest one. hip flexors feeling it.

- 20m fly x 2
tough, my top speed sprinting is a mess as t0ddday pointed out the other day.

cut short because...

*30 mins later*

- SVJ, DSVJ, SLRVJ, DLRVJ x ~50 jumps
dropped avishek off and then went to the outdoor court at the middle school near my parents' house. the court is asphalt and slanted -- long-time readers may recall a vid taken there a while ago -- but the rims are ~9' and ~9'8", so i was able to get a lot of grabs and stuff. this was good.

*later*

- anterior hip, adductors, modified pigeon x 15-20 mins

- painting my parents' house x 2 hours

*later*

- tennis x 30 mins

/later

- more mobility shit

 

not gonna share the progress tracker?

also the fact that the channel it links to is called "ProfessorLive."
