Good training Devil, are you not playing basketball because of the back injuries?

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

Yes I quit basketball because of the knee and slew of other injuries. I managed to get in a short 1 3o3 game not too long ago but I was definitely horrible and out of shape plus I was sweating any possible injuries which is not a good mindset to have while playing. I am thankful I can still lift for the most part.

 

[XTrainer]

Wow, nice set of squats there.

I missed the knee injury (?)

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

XT yes. I am pretty sure I ruptured my lcl in right knee.

Feeling a bit better after being sick with flu for a week and half. I am down around 10 lb. Appetite has been nonexistent. I have also not been taking creatine during this time but I doubt a week and half would have much impact on my creatine levels.

 

[MIDMOBOX]

creatine will make your chest muscles get their swole on

Nice training Devil, good to see you back to playing ball.

 

[MIDMOBOX]

Nice basketballing

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

3/11/11 3+ hours of bball
-bw:215 lb, i was 224 lb in gym with shoes/clothes on

-had about half a teaspoon of chocamine about 2.5 hours before gym
-was coming in to do a squat workout but my forarms were pulsating and grip felt like that of a 10 yr old which is like my telltale sign my cns is still fucked up

-played 10 3o3 basketbal games with only 1 game break between 3rd and 4th games...I played fairly well today, had 2 games of 8+ points in games to 12 and was mostly doing it against people my own size with various hook/scoop shot underneath(sorta the much uglier version of what antawn jamison does)....was fortunate to play games with people who could shoot well, even one 50+ yr 5'5 140 lb asian guy who was a pretty good shot and played very unselfishly....
-sprained my right thumb(mild/moderate) poking ball away) , got a blister on on my left big toe and a few scratches to boot but overall i didnt sprain any major joints so i call this great success...
-did a token ab workout of 3 sets of 20 reps decline crunches/sit ups

 

[MIDMOBOX]

WAR Asian midget man who could shoot. Sorry ran out of Sexy Leprechaun pics

 

[MIDMOBOX]

OK so maybe I have some actaul sexy leprechaun pics, but I couldn't let the holiday go by with out posting a midget somewhere
