single pic is of my right. under correct lighting it looks more defined.

seeing how i jump off my left, im not sure why the right leg looks to be more developed.
this also sorta explains why i have a harder time on barbell stepups with my left leg.  :-\

nice! put some more beef on them and u'll be flying!

Quads lookin strong.  Keep up the good work.  How's that ankle coming along?  Mine's a little bit better...i'm not quiet able to sprint or max jump without pain, but i've started playin some ball again.

Thx for the compliments peeps, still someways before I even smell hickson, Clarence, Damien.
Where is the vmo? The inside bit? Tot it was supposed to run diagonally, not lean enough to see visibly lol.
My groin gets the most sore after a squat day tho, then the lower back, almost nv the quads. :/

Good to see u here adarq, just finished last game of the season.

Would've got into the playoffs, if we won today, against an alr playoff-bound team. Lost by 4, and we conceded 6 points cos of jersey penalties. :(
Doesn't matter tho, we probably are not strong enough to win it all this season.

Clarence, I'm the same as you. Can run, but definitely can't do at max. Jumping is slightly worse.
Worst ankle sprain of my life so far, almost 3 months as it is now.

just keep eating good and lifting hard, if your ankle still refuses to heal for some time, at least you will be really jacked.. keep putting that muscle on.

nice session with the front squats

peace

Yea, best way out is to keep lifting. And when the ankle heals fully, it'll be time to hit the reactive stuff hard.

Update: tried to test the rom of my right foot. Used my hands to rotate the foot. Most directions were good, plantar/dorsi flex.
             But when I rotated my foot outwards, frm clockwise, (eversion?), the area below inside ankle hurts.

Sigh. And I was thinkin I could start on the depth jumps and such alr.

5am insomnia session

~50 sprints: 5 x abt 70%
pullups: 5 x 10

* only got 8 reps on last set.

Downed a shake, and it's off to work :(

wed: lower

prehab: cobras, glute raises, peterson stepups

MR tucks: 3 x 8
jump squats: 3 x (30, 40, 50)

squats: 5 x (75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, *125)

stepups (5blocks): 5 x (50, 60, 70, 80, 80)

EZ bicep curls: 4 x 10 (20kg)

*got 4 reps. 1st set of 5, i felt a few reps could be lower. 2nd set of 125, reps were better, but only 4 reps.

- headed into workout tired.
3 glasses of moscato + 4 hours of sleep + a busy 12hr shift = not the best condition to push myself. falling asleep sitting on bench between squat sets dammit.

- tried my hand at some depth jumps after the workout. couldnt touch the ceiling hahaha.
