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 Update


Following up on prior injury update.


Left adductor (pectineus?), hip flexor:  

This is still around and prone to aggravation.  Currently, it's quite aggravated due to yesterday's jump drills.  Appt with sports med doc set for 12/18.  

    Hip pain, tightness:  

    The break in training helped.  I'm feeling pretty loose and have been building back in some medium-heavy squat and deadlift.

    Shin splints:  

    Absent, but so has been aggravation.   

    Strategy post mortem:  

    What I said I'd do:
    I'm taking a week off of training, which is well timed to coincide with having wrapped up two four-week training program phases.  Reevaluate on Sunday.
    Myofascial release minimum of three times a day to hit the TFL, QL, and hip flexors, when socially acceptable to do so.
    I'm going to shoot for a minimum of 20min of yoga per day, and optimally 45-60.  Shout out to yogadownload.com and their audio & video podcasts, classes, and iPhone app. 
    Week off:  check.
    Myofascial release 3x/day:  Foam rolling, targeted with lacrosse ball, etc., probably only 2x/day on avg. 
    Yoga:  Got maybe 5/7 days, but some 2-a-days. That's ok, it was a stretch goal (boooooo).
