arthritis. usually it's just at low-grade background discomfort and it limits my ROM pretty severely, and i've adapted my gait and movement so that i avoid stressing my toes too much. but for whatever reason the last few days it was absolutely killing me, radiating pain up into the rest of my foot. happens once in a while. feels okay this morning, knock wood.

ETA: my avatar is an x-ray showing the arthritis.

MORNING

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee, right toe
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,20

- one-step RVJ x 5,5
first three reps of second set were pretty good

- DLRVJ x 5 w/vest
got out to three steps and could not get organized. took vest off.

- DLRVJ x 10
mediocre, best was probably 34.5. but the fact that my mediocre days are the same as last year's good days is great.

right knee bugging.

- foam roll and stretch

EVENING

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee pretty bad
MENTAL STATE: tired

- warm up

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 1
CNS shut second jump down, knee bugging too hard

- MB OH toss x 5

totally wacked out. what a wasted week from a training standpoint. toe is bothering me again now after the workout, to boot.

Have you tried, recently?

I can hear the answer without you saying anything: "No, and I don't plan to".

How much do you bend in the plant off one leg? In your standing vert you go so deep, yet you're bouncy off a running VJ off two legs. Hard to imagine how a one leg jump would look like.

It looks like you use a single arm swing coming up your right leg and a "somewhat double arm swing" coming off your left leg... I guess your body is just too much "forward" when you take off, that's the only thing I can see. Like you don't load the posterior chain too much because you stay too forward instead of letting yourself a bit on the back and "hip-popping". Oh well... I think my one leg jump of right now looks much uglier.

joint is malformed, no cartilage, bone spur growing on top of my foot. here's a bigger version of the image (NB this is from 5+ years ago, it's probably worse now):

from my comment on youtube.. runup was slow as hell, jump was slow, didn't expect to see you get up so good on that first R-SLRVJ jump. was surprising but awesome.

I wasn't around much in 2014, so I missed that.

niiice.

yeah the discussion in the other thread where dreyth and raptor and t0ddday are arguing about squatting and bodyweight made me think that i probably have pretty weak calves, all things considered.
