Why not try using a girls' basketball? It's still "dunking a basketball." Not even joking.

Foam rolling: Great activity? Or the greatest activity?
Foam rolling hurts like a motherfucker (at least for my adhesion-packed ass) but it feels so good afterward and it helps so much with tissue health in the medium-long term. Could not agree more with this.
Other nice things to do are rolling the bottom of your foot, shoulders and glutes with a tennis or lacrosse ball. And calves/soleus/peroneals if you're feeling especially masochistic.

warm up
foam roll x20 mins
incline walk x7 mins @ 7.0 degree slope and 4.0 mph
mobility
work
trap bar DL 3x8x238
BSS iso hold x60s/ea
bw circuit x3
--neutral chin up x10, 10, 6 FAIL
--push up x20
--adv glute thrust x10x3s hold
--leg lower x10 (I am getting beast at these, legs almost straight and almost to the ground and no back movement)
cool down
stretch

Basketball / Re: LEBRON TO MIAMI HOLY SHIT I AM IN HEAVAN,DONT WAKE ME UP FROM THIS AMAZING DREAM
« on: July 14, 2010, 06:24:05 pm »
I can't blame the guy. As many people have pointed out, he's going to get paid millions of dollars to play with his superstar friends and live in South Florida, and he won't have the pressure of being the best (and only great) player on his own team anymore. But the only people on earth who aren't disappointed that LeBron is admitting that he's too weak to win a championship as the leader of a team are Heat fans.
The Cleveland fans are clowns and this whole thing has made them look bad, too.

Saw real PT this morning. He said 3-6 weeks before I can play again, depending on how recovery progresses. Prohibited from doing any jumps or hops, even linear DL RFIs. This sucks. But the guy really, really seems to know his shit and I'm sick of getting hurt so I'm gonna stick with it for a while. The last time I sprained it badly (two years back) the PT's I saw sucked so I stopped going. That probably wasn't such a great idea in the long run.
Good news is, anything that doesn't hurt or compromise stability too much (no BB step ups) is basically alright. So trap bar DL, iso holds of all sorts, etc. can be done.

Measurements taken after eating a lot of food.
Wrist: 7 (difference from ideal measurements below in parentheses)
Chest: 42 (-3.5)
Forearm: 12 (-1.2)
Biceps: 13.75 (-2.35)
Waist: 30.5 (-0.7)
Thigh: 23 (-1.1)
Hips: 38 (-0.7)
Calf: 15 (-0.5)
Neck: 15 (-1.8 )
So I need a bit bigger everything, particularly chest, forearm, neck and biceps. In order to look like a Greek statue, that is.
Foot length: 10.75
Foot width: 4.25
Index toe length: 2.75
UPDATE
According to this calculator: http://www.yewhealth.com/estimated-1rm-for-the-big-3/, I have a maximum lifting potential of:
bench 343
oly squat (high bar ATG) 472
power squat 515
DL 550
