i do MB tosses with a 12lb ball on a squash or racquetball court. high ceilings mean it's easy to "measure" improvement: the harder (louder) it hits the ceiling, the more powerful the throw.

Yeah forgot to mention this but meant to.  Watch LBSS videos from his first to his last ball (most recent ball tosses) the improvement is pretty striking... The change in his ability to activate his hips and send the ball vs throw it is what you get out of this and I don't think KB swings provide the same benefit...  This is why I like exercises with constant weight but a goal of improving distance/height... I mean that is what vertical jumping and dunking are...

My old gym would have been perfect for this. It has a room where I could toss the ball and failing that had a few squash courts which were never being used. My other gym membership is up in about 4 weeks so I might look to go back to the old gym and be able to train weights and do jumping during the day.

Didn't end up training last night. Had to run after my daughter outside the swimming pool (an actual sprint not just a jog) and really felt it in the rib area. Think I have a strained intercostal or something. Have a ball game tonight which I'm locked in to play so will be able to test it out then and see how I go for the rest of the week.

Ball game last night. Was interesting that I didn't go in with the usual fire. Being out for a couple of weeks with the chest infection and my sore ribs I basically just wanted to get a decent run in. Game ended in a draw though in the most frustrating way. Our guards had an absolute refusal to guard their main and only scorer who dropped 6 3's. Even with that we're up by 1 with 30s to go and one of our guys shoots an unnecessary 3 from the corner, misses but gets his own rebound and then proceeds to throw a behind the back pass that goes straight out of bounds. They go down and hit a 3 with 10 seconds to go and we managed to scrape a bucket in with a few seconds left. I know it's not the NBA but people can be frustrating to play with sometimes.

I felt ok. Ribs hurt like a bitch for the first 5 minutes and then didn't feel them again till after the match. Happy with the run although I had limited hops but that's to be expected on recent training form. Feel like I should be pretty much back to normal by next week and will be able to begin my run at it again.

damn.

is there an explanation for people who don't play hard defense? I never understood it.. I took so much pride in defense. I mean, what fun is scoring etc, if you're letting some dude just score all over you ... not sure how people don't take more pride in defense than offense.

as for the behind the back pass that went out of bounds, really late in the game.. remember this?

nice! being sick sucks.. just trick yourself into thinking you took a nice 2 week deload.

rib/intercostal injuries can be a real pain in the ass.. i've had a few of them. When I get them, I can't run at all. I would have been complete toast in that basketball game you played.. Jogging/running is completely impossible. Just be careful with it, don't want it to become "more chronic".

Yep. I don’t get it either.  It’s the most frustrating thing to me when playing. Heaps of guys can knock down open shots but just get a hand in their face. Make them put it on the floor and those same guys don’t can’t make the more difficult shot.

Hahahaha. That is pretty much the exact same thing except my team mate was in Klay’s position and was trying to pass it to where Steph is.

Yeah I’m being conservative. Going to attempt to train tonight and see what I can and can’t do. It’s still tender to the touch but I don’t feel it moving around so much. It’s around the floating rib on the left hand side so in a weird location.

Fucking ribs!!! Didn't train last night. I'll do something light tomorrow and try to set myself for next week.
I sneezed before and it felt like I took a shot from Tyson. Ridiculous.

Did nothing over the weekend. Not a thing. Absolutely nothing.

Body feels ok and the rib is pretty good but just lacking the motivation to get started again. I've basically gotten lazy in the last two weeks. Have been watching a shit load of the Olympics though so now that it's over I might get some sleep again.

Will get back into it this week. Did meal prep last night so have all meals for the week done so there's no stress on that front.

23/08/2016 - 7pm

Daily mob circuit

Squats-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 4, 100 x 4

OHP-
bar x 8, 30 x 8, 40 x 8, 8, 8, 8

Really short session today. Ribs are still restricting me. Squats felt good and legs were great. Ribs could not handle the load. Far better than it was 2 weeks ago but still limiting me. Couldn't do chins, slant bench leg raise and didn't even try hip thrusts.

24/08/2016
Ball game tonight and will lift again and get a track session in before the end of the week. I'm going to start setting myself goals for my ball games. Not like I'm playing for sheep stations but doing this will at least ensure I'm focusing on playing better each time.
Goal for tonight: Work on post moves facing the rim. I have a few go to moves with my back to the rim but want to work on turning to face the defender then the fake and drive or just the jump shot. Will report back.

Yeah I'm surprised it's taken so long. Sneezing still hurts like a bitch though.
