Thanks for visiting dunkbonds.com, the dormant Rails app I built to gamify charitable contributions toward personal goals, piloted around my goal to dunk. You'll notice I have made zero effort to update its style, so it still harkens back to its original 2011-era mint.com inspiration, when it was likely already looking pretty dated. Have a click around!

Injury and Training Update


On 10/4, I went a little overboard at the gym and tweaked my lower back, erector spinae, piriformis, etc.  I'm no stranger to this injury.  I probably do it several times a year, and it usually sets me back a few days to a week, so it's not very newsworthy.

Except it's still bothering me.* 

Fortunately, I'm still getting my jump work in, and I'm feeling springy.  My lower left leg pain seems to be gone for now as well. 
Unfortunately, I don't think I can properly load my spine (squat variations, deadlifts) until it's better. In the meantime, I'll see if I can get by using variations (goblet squats, etc.). 

September was rough with travel, and October's been screwy because of this.  I just want to get back to a normal pattern of living under the bar. 

*Granted, I re-aggravated it on 10/16 with some light front squats when I thought it was better.
