« on: March 11, 2013, 06:50:24 pm »Foam rolling the IT band especially in the middle is the most sorest thing, that i have to stop because the pain is unbearable.
Man is this normal.
dunno if it's normal but yeah ITB can hurt. mine is not as bad as it used to be, if that's any comfort.

people have such short memories. that's an awesome dunk but the dunk of the year is JR smith's oop from early january, where he caught it at his waist, mid-flight, and reverse tomahawked it.

i don't roll for reps, i roll for time and reduced discomfort. start with a few slow rolls back and forth to find especially sensitive spots, then roll very slowly from end to end, stopping on the sticky bits. when stopped i'll sometimes move around on them, roll a bit in front and behind or on either side, move the corresponding joints around (so, e.g., when on a stick spot in ITB, i'll bend and extend my knee slowly -- this hurts). i try to move when i feel the spot getting less uncomfortable, although sometimes i get impatient and don't last that long. regular stuff is ITB, adductors, and thoracic spine with the foam roller, and t-spine, shoulders (at least traps and sometimes also a whole bunch of other shit including pecs, teres major/minor, delts, etc.), and hips with the peanut and/or lacrosse ball.
if i'm doing a "complete" or standalone SMR/mobility session that i plan to do for more than 30 minutes, i do all of those plus hamstrings, calves/peroneals, quads, and lats. i should be better about quads but that shit just hurts a lot and i'm a wuss.

« on: March 11, 2013, 01:58:58 pm »I'll never squat as pretty as you or KF. If I was going by that i'd never bother with backsquat whatsoever. I have to compare the two relatively, not absolutely against others.
yeah i know you'll never squat like KF (don't limit yourself against me, though!). your body's completely different. doesn't mean you can't try to focus on smooth, continuous movement.

so stick to high bar. they both looked pretty jerky, for what it's worth. take a look at your high bar video and then go look at any of kingfish's squatting videos. the focus on the knees and hips. see how smoothly his break, how controlled his body is as it folds. then compare that to how segmented your movement is.

« on: March 07, 2013, 03:18:46 pm »Alrighty. This isnt the best but....its what I have right now. I was texting the fiance about you guys doubting me (I hate being doubted, I think a man is his word/reputationI do understand you're doubts though) and she says 'babe, I think I have an old vid on my phone' and then texted me this vid which IveACT uploaded to youtube (first upload ever woohoo!).

But its ok.
go look up rip's old journal if you want to know why people are skeptical of "i jump over 40 but i don't have a camera/my camera ran out of batteries/i left it at home today next time i promise guys".

last night
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right hip wonky, esp. during running/walking fast; right ankle sharp but not terrible pain during push presses; ankles both a little off, maybe because of new shoes
MENTAL STATE: happy, strong sense of accomplishment because i busted my ass on some work on my day off and got it done
- warm up
- rudimentary hops
- easy short sprints to test hip
hip failed test.
- squat warm up to 185
- jump squats 40(2x20 DB) x 3,3,3
- push press 145 x 4; 115 x 4,4,4
- C1: hyper +25 x 10
- C1: DB row 80 x 10
- C1: thick band pull down x 10
- C1 info: 3 rounds, 20-30s between exercises
- stretch
decided to play it safe with the hip. no sense at all in aggravating anything. hip felt okay again this morning but i was walking extra fast to work and it started announcing itself so i slowed down. discomfort has spread around to the front and medial side of my hip flexor and seems to set in on hip extension during locomotion. the hypers did not bother it at all, nor did the jump squats. it felt fine during squatting but i didn't feel like risking any kind of load. gonna take some more ibuprofen.
no idea what was up with my right ankle during the push presses, that's not a problem i've had before and it wasn't bothering me otherwise.

be careful with those routines, man. circuit training is fine and pushing yourself is fine but some of that shit is like tailor-made to fuck up your shoulders and wrists.
