Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / eccentrics for tendinitis/osis/whatever
« on: November 24, 2010, 03:14:56 pm »
Just to prove to everyone that I'm not so rabidly hateful of TNation that I'm blind to its occasionally worthwhile articles, here is an older one on using eccentric-only training to heal tendinitis. Backed up elsewhere by various people who aren't full of shit and and aren't trying to sell stuff.

Bball game.
Endurance = very good , vert = bad , WTF?
Did only a dropstep at warmups where i got 10'3'' ( 28'' ) and a 2-step jump at half time where i got 10'6'' ( 31'' ).
Those 2 rim jumps not only were low but they also felt 100% unexplosive.
Whatever...
Perhaps...you're tired!

For Tam, if you read this, because I'm not allowed to post in the Q&A section: There's a reason they call him Loliquin. That article didn't make any sense. Looooot of broscience and voodoo comes out of that guy these days.

nice, why did you decide to run? 4.45 is alot to run just out of nowhere.
pc
Because I'm still very out of shape and therefore should be getting more light cardio, because I told myself I was going to yesterday and didn't want to back out like a bitch, because I like to run. 4.45 isn't that much more than I ran the last time out, and that felt great.
Mostly the bolded part, though, tbh.

warm up
foam roll legs and back
core stretches
work
run @ easy pace x ~41:20, 4.45 miles
cool down
stretch
Felt like absolute shit, like my legs were filled with concrete. Form felt awful and inconsistent, breathing was easy but HR was too high. Bizarre run. Didn't help that it was pretty windy. Had to stop about 1/2 mile in cause my tibia was starting to tweak. Massaged it for a bit and it was fine.

Yeah man when I think "tuck" I think "knees to chest." Realized belatedly that that's not right. I might scrap them altogether because I find it hard to be sure I'm getting triple extension when I do them. Okay to add another set or two of pogos in lieu of tuck jumps?

Dumb question: Would this work on a GHR? My guess is not, but we don't have that fancy bench at my gym so I figured I'd ask. Maybe a swiss ball...

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Cardio for fat loss when being on caloric surplus?
« on: November 23, 2010, 09:44:19 am »IMO it would depend alot on the intensity and contents of the workout, if you stimulated enough growth then that should work out as you planned it. The low intensity, not too taxing, cardio session is always a good idea, it will not only burn SOME bodyfat, it will also aid in your overall gpp and help you recover between sets and during your workout. This overtime correlates to more reps, more weight, less recovery time needed, etc., all very big factors in accomplishing your goal of building muscle tissue.
This. As long as the surplus is still there and you're getting enough protein and doing the heavy work, a bit of light cardio can only be good.

I'd add that it's important to stretch when you're done, too.

« on: November 23, 2010, 07:46:46 am »Do tuck jumps always hurt your back? Thats like the only exercise that slightly aggravates my back for some reason, dont know why though?
Nope, never had a problem with them before. And didn't yesterday when I did them again. I think it was just some overenthusiastic hip flexion.
