Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Recovery from quadricep tendonitis
« Last post by jumperer on November 29, 2024, 05:35:23 am »
am back again. sprained/snapped my ankle 3 weeks ago playing soccer, so have been resting since then. suddenly excited again though about dunking/increasing vert, so will get into it more exclusively once i'm back.

past few years i've been mostly focused on basketball though, playing focused and joining leagues. can still snap the rim off both plants though.

think i'll give it 2 more weeks of rest and then i'll start training to jump higher exclusively again. biggest problems i think will be finding lower rims and a gym where i can properly squat and deadlift though. will have to do more exploring/research to find more resources for jump training

Stopped training due to pain and tenderness on the back of my head, cervical spine, left trap, left collarbone and left shoulder, and a weird feeling in my body.

Notes

Few nice days of training. Feel full all the time for last couple of weeks. Traveling for a couple of weeks, so that'll be a nice reset from a forced eating pattern. Likely will end up eating a lot regardless, thoguh, but less systematically. Shuold have some gym access so will try to do a lil bit of training while away, but won't be a priority.

last night

- dreadmill intervals
-- warm up
-- 5 x (3 min @ 4:13, 1 min @ 5:52)
-- cool down
started to feel like an actual workout on the fifth rep. i should note that the gym is warm and very humid.

today

- climbing x 45 mins
walked up to what seems to be a brand-new bouldering gym about a mile from my hotel. the routes were not that fun and the holds were extremely rough. that + not climbing for two weeks = hands rubbed pretty raw. but glad i at least tried it out! heading to the airport in a couple hours, door-to-door it should be about 31-32 hours, a bit shorter than the way over.
