wat.

i knew i wasnt the only one:




I'm kinda cut right now, but the way i look in a car window reflection is absurd. like a bodybuilder or something. just a let down when you see yourself in a normal mirror lol

Think I may want to switch to an RL plant... officially. just so much more versatility with dunk that you could do. Not to mention it'll make it way easier to dunk in game.

Good luck.  I tried it.  I can do it but it's fake - it's just a jumpstop.   If you are profiicient in LR I think it's easier to start doing more in game dunks w your left - it's how I dunk on fast breaks.

Then again Russell Westbrook came into the league w RL and has since added a great LR plant.  But he is the only such example...

Kind of a de-load today. Lifted before breaking my fast so i took it slightly easier.

Even sicker today (tuesday). Will de-load again.

Going to the doctor again for my knee. I alread went to a walk in clinic 1-2 weeks ago and got xrays. in and out in 20min. no bone issues. all i had was a probably slight meniscus tear which is why i had some knee effusion. caused by what, we don't know.

They referred me to a few sports docs... but since I'm HMO i can only take a referral from my PCP. so im seeing my PCP today and then going to a sports doc. hate this process. 1-2 weeks ago i called up and couldnt find an appointment until today. and when i go today, i'll be on time but ill prob be waiting for an extra half hour, then another 15min for the nurse, and then another 20 for the actual PCP to check me out. what a waste. walk in clinics are the shit, on the other hand. City MD is where i went.

hopefully my insurance will cover all of whatever physical therapy i may be assigned. in either case, i'll be picking apart their brains to learn for myself!

eid mubarak, hope you're not too sick to feast today.

Worked out at my friends gym. Of course it means I PR in my bench press. I've done 250x5 before which is more impressive imo, but that's a 7 rep PR today. I'm pretty damn sure the weights at his gym are a tad bit lighter. It's a NYSC. I ALWAYS bench and squat better there than anywhere else.
