Doing low volume training and switching legs for sprinting is helping reduce the pain in my hip but, when at the end I have to stretch my quads, i do the standing quad stretch by grabbing my feet from behind that is extending my hips and that is the thing causing my hip pain to come up, like you mentioned in my thread, that stretching it alot made it worse, so I was wondering if you know a good quad stretch where the hip is not extended in the process.

maybe try "not stretching" 

i've barely been stretching.. every time i stretch, it makes it worse. so for now i've stopped.. and who knows, maybe i'll never stretch again HEH!

so just saying, maybe just get stretching out of your mind for a while, and keep letting it recover through less volume/frequency.. and see if it recovers even more. you can still stretch other things (hams,calves,lats,chest,shoulders etc).. but maybe lay off quads/hip flexor for a while.

i've since been able to stretch my quads slightly, but more of just like a 'micro stretch' a few times when i just felt i needed too.. nothing forced, no holds, etc.

oh man you're right back at dunking height. nice!

ya for sure, i think i could definitely land a weak one right now off lob.

i'd like to get to ~10'10 before I try some lobs though.. so basically 2 more inches and then i'll try to throw something down. Conscious 10'10" jumps should give me at least 10'11" on a lob when I chase it.

so I need to start preparing by finding or purchasing another lob-ball, super inflated.. and find a 4k HD camera.... hah.

that session where I ran 3 mi up to the court, jumped, and ran back.. need to avoid those.. that wrecked me a bit, even though i still landed some PR's yesterday.. still feel it in my shin SLIGHTLY after doing that.. it's just too much running when fatigued.. tmw i'll probably run 3 mi and jump in the evening session, but, that's mostly fine, as long as i'm not running ANOTHER 3 mi after jumping. Need to keep building running speed/endurance & jumping power, without them hurting each other.

pc!

iphone 6 shoots 4k, does it not?

dno

my phone sucks, so that could be an option.. an upgrade would be nice. but, i also like really pro vid cameras, so not sure.. must research. ;f

regardless, i'd really like to get back into video editing.. that is something i've missed for a long time.

thanks  , I will also have to stop the mobility drills i do before gym, the single leg glute bridge and in the BSS, when my left leg, with hip problem is on the bench, if i go down too deep it will be extending my hip alot so I will reduce the height i go down maybe or focus on putting more weight on the working leg.

I even wanted to get under the bar and do a squat with no weights and the hip stops me from going parallel or lower, which is why i do the BSS.

didn't journal yesterday, was non stop coding all day. had to do a huge refactor of the backend code, because I needed the ability to modify some 'state' i'll be working with; a cache i'm building.

so that took literally all day long, but got it done :F

here's one from tonight before I cooked it:



and after cooking:



the mixed nuts & goat cheese really adds the perfect finishing touch to a stir fry.. man o man, absolutely love it.
