Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Runner's Knee thread
« on: June 17, 2010, 06:36:25 pm »I can tell my left leg is weaker on the lunge, maybe I'll do more reps with less weight on my left leg
I'm not even close to an expert on rehab, so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think that's a good idea. You should never encourage an imbalance. Let your left leg be the limiting factor but do the same thing for each. So if your left leg can do 3x5x70# (for example), and your right could do 3x5x90#, do the former for each leg. You may not be progressing on your right but once you've brought the left leg to the point where it can do 3x5x90, you can start working evenly on both.

Ankle feels okay although it gets stiff if it's still for too long. Hurt a bit this morning but was okay as soon as I started moving around.
Knee feels okay relaxed or in extension but flexing against resistance from about 30 degrees to about 90 degrees is still a bit uncomfortable. Not really pain, just doesn't feel like the left one does. Either way, gonna try a few jumps later and see how it does. Worse comes to worst I'll just jump rope and do upper body/core.

Yup and yup. Ankle felt a bit off this morning but is 95% now. Of course, I couldn't get off scot-free, so now my right knee is acting up. Hamstring insertion on the back/outside (posterior lateral?), same place as before but it's been okay for a while now. FML. More NSAIDs tonight and hopefully it'll be strong tomorrow.
Oh yeah, my workout today was...resting.

Workout today
Summer league game 1:
Team seems really cool. Game was fun although pretty disorganized because everyone was still getting to know each other and whatnot. Plus the twin brother of the guy who runs the league is on my team and he sucks, just has horrible instincts and clogs the offense a lot. I played meh D, decent O. Need to improve my mark and also ability to lay out for D's. Scored a bunch of times (5?) on fast breaks which was pretty sweet. They turned the lights off on us with the game tied 15-15, next point wins
Also I turned my ankle juuuust a little bit so I sat out the last few points. Iced a bit, gonna take some acetaminophen and do nothing tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be okay on Thursday cause we don't have a game and I'd like to do some jumping.

« on: June 15, 2010, 09:04:02 am »there's this pain in my right arch of my feet, like its being stretched or something.
actually it's been there since a year or 2 ago already, just that i see it as just more of a minor irritant than anything else haha. somedays i dont feel it, somedays it gets quite icky. also happens when i wear shoes like chucks or vans for awhile... what gives huh?
looks like i need to strengthen my ankles as well, those sprains from ages ago are coming back to haunt me, sometimes the ankle aches in a few spots.
i've had that.. i had it very bad actually, had to stop jumping/sprinting etc for a few months, it was so painful.. only thing that fixed that was resting :/
my feet have gotten so much stronger since wearing nike zoom waffle racers.. they really help strengthen your feet, i imagine vibrams would also help.. vans/chucks have bad arch support so, that might be the reason.
peace
Plantar fasciitis is a bitch. Try rolling the arch of your foot with a tennis ball or bouncy ball, stretching your big toe nice and long (60 seconds each in the morning and evening is ideal according to my PT), and doing some barefoot warm-ups. Here's what I do for my feet before a sprinting/jumping workout (all x15-20 yards):
walk forward on outsides of feet
walk forward on insides of feet
walk with feet turned out (penguin style)
walk with feet turned in (pigeon-toed style)
walk backwards on toes
walk forwards on heels
Takes about two-three minutes.
I would also say, DO NOT switch straight into FiveFingers or other barefoot-type shoes for running or jumping. Try walking around barefoot a bit,

Yesterday (Saturday): rest/watch World Cup/drink
Today
practice for a couple hours
Yay! It was hot as shit, though. But I played well and our team is looking a little more coherent since I last made it to a practice.

Anybody else watch the Daily Show last night? John Oliver's piece about the US-England game was freaking hilarious.

So beautiful out today, not nearly as hot as it was supposed to be.
Warm up
feet drills
10m sprints
walking mobility stuff
Work
3x4x100m @16-18s/35-45s with 75-85s between sets
core circuit x4 of
crunches x25
L crunches x15, 3x10
R crunches x15, 3x10
hypers x10
Cool down
stretch
Then there were some dudes from the top men's club team in the area doing a track workout. They finished right around the same time I did, so we ended up throwing around for about half an hour. Was originally just short-to-medium throws, but then the field emptied out so we ended up doing some longer stuff. Lots more sprinting and jumping. Not too much, but still, more intensity than I meant to do today. Whatever, it was worth it to throw around.

REA SQUATS :
-Going up was damn explosive , because of all the effort in the transition. So explosive that i could not decelerate at the top so i was jumping a few inches off the ground. Is that bad?
I have the same question, actually.
