Ghetto workout.

superset
pullups:          4 x 10
dips:               4 x 15
ply pushups:   4 x 10
dragonflags:   4 x 6
calf raises:      4 x 20 each leg


Tried to do a finisher set of pullups, only mustered 11 before I decided to call it a day.

Did a few 'closed eyes balance on one foot' things on the hurt foot (right one). Heard it's good for proprioception, the being's self awareness in space. Had my toes all curled up gripping the soles of my Nike frees, I bet they are really useful, so I did a few on my good foot too.

ya that could be beneficial for you for sure, if you feel anything sharp though, don't do it.. that goes for anything.

i hope i dont have a bone bruise or anything like that... the area is still tender to the touch, and when i flick it with my fingers, there are pulses of pain. the outside bit, around the round ankle bone, near the bottom of it, is still painful too.

gonna see if i can squat later, if not it'll be another upper day.

something with the achilles tendon too, cant dorsiflex fully, and when i keep rotating my foot trying to work it, the tendon would sometimes 'click', if u know what i mean haha...

rotate ice & heat, loosen that area up.. probably starting to get tight and lose its tensile strength because of the lack of loading (impacts).. still need to baby your ankle a while longer though, at least until tender to the touch/bruising is almost gone.. that clicking is fine probably, just getting a little tight from a drastic reduction in activity.. do some light stretches, ice & heat.. i wouldnt put heat on the bruised areas though right over the actual ankle injury area.

peace.

heh, i think im close for sure, but i dunno, i'll put in some more volume work first before i attempt that. got myself pinned under the bar with no safety before, not a great experience haha.

my workouts are erratic, some days i feel like a beast, other days no. pretty much the same situation for everyone else i suppose.

Yea it's Sunday here, will hit the gym tmr. Gotta work around the ankle, take this as a chance to hit the upper body hard.

Ankle still not good tho. Think it's the worst sprain of my life, been 3 weeks alr and it's still not alright. Mayb it's due to the added weight. Wonder how 200lb guys recover so fast.

That inside bone bruise thing is still there, outside ankle also hurts when I press on it. Tried jogging, but can't take weight in dorsiflex position.

try some stuff in a pool.. if that is unbearable then not good, at this point.. you should be able to do some pool work (jogs etc) in belly button/sternum high water etc.
