Thursday

shot around a lot. been forever since i played basektball. built up a sweat. couldn't dunk, my movement efficiency is garbage. squat ratio is at about 1.8 so i should be up there in a couple of weeks with some light pickup games

Alright, so,
my knees felt kind of brittle after having a heavy shot around by myself yesterday. THe 315 and 335 squat didn't feel too good. So I decided to lower the weight and hit 8 reps. It was definitely an 8RM for me. It felt alot better, on the 2 back up sets of 295x5, I didn't feel any discomfort in my knees whatsoever.

I think I'll stick with these slightly higher reps on the squats. I have to think long term and do what's best for my joints.

It made my glutes pretty tired, so I donly did one set of RDLs and threw in some ham work after that.

Shot around today again. Got a little closer to dunking.
Played this guy 1 on 1 twice, i lost the first one 17-9, won the second 16-8. My 3 was on fire. But this guy was super quick. And he had a nasty step back 3.

It's been so long since I've played pick up that seeing people hit step back 3's is like what... i remember years ago everyone was chucking up deep 3's (thanks curry) but now with harden killing it, they've added a step back to that lol.

My knees are wrecked lol. Did upper body today instead of lower body since i can't even bend my knees all the way. This is what playing basketball led to the few times last week. Really need to get an MRI and do PT.

Knees still no good. Perhaps I could have deadlifted, but played it safe. I hit upperbody again and did a ton of volume. My lifst were weak towards the end (like chin ups dropping from 50x8 to 50x6) and I was cramping up throughout the day, so I was probably very low on carbs... especially on having a full day fast the night before minus a single spoon of honey.

I need to read kelly baggets "bullet proof knees" and change my lowerbody training. I also need to get an MRI done and get a proper diagnosis and physical therapy routine for my knees. Gotta start thinking long term. I can't even perform my 5 daily prayers properly since I can't bend my knees all the way without discomfort.

You jumped into the deep end too quickly and too soon.... That's how all my previous knee issues happened - when getting back into BBall
Knee tracking is the big one

Dreyth · « **Reply #1391 on:** February 05, 2020, 06:19:27 pm »

Yep! I remember the first time these knee issues came up where they would swell the next day and last for a week or more. I hadnt played ball in a year. Then i put like 100lbs on my squat and gained 15lbs of bw... signed up for a bball league and after the first game it happened. After the second game (the next week) i was finished lol

Physical therapist had me doing tons of glute medius work, and it helped. I have valgus collapse

Years ago i had jumpers knee, but IT band rolling and VMO activation fixed that

CoolColJ · « **Reply #1392 on:** February 06, 2020, 02:33:24 am »

also check out your adductors, stretching and release work - normally neglected in 95% of people
Mine are always super sore. Adductor magnus is also the second largest muscle and the main hip driver, so it's very important...

Dreyth · « **Reply #1393 on:** February 06, 2020, 08:08:22 am »

Thanks for the tips! I have a foam roller at home that i barely use. Time to dust it off

Dreyth · « **Reply #1394 on:** February 06, 2020, 05:17:36 pm »

Foam rolled my groin to near the knee. Immediate relief by like a 20% reduction in discomfort. Awesome! I assume the fact that my knees have fluid in them makes it mechanically impossible to feel a drastic relief right away (unlike foam rolling my IT band when i had jumper’s knee, that was like a miracle).

But this is great. Thanks a ton for the tips! I need to do this daily, especially before longer walks. I notice my knees swell up after getting back from doing upper body since it involves 2-3 miles of walking
