Blog post #712/22/2023 Basketball season is underway and so far my knees haven’t hurt. Which is a huge win. My knees feel stronger than they ever have. I haven’t been able to do the holding quad extensions at all just because of not being able to get into the gym, but I have been able to do the ATG split squat holds every day and I think those are benefitting me a ton. The only problem right now is my shins. I’ve had shin splints just about every year but lately, these have hurt worse than normal shin splints. Shin splints develop from repeated stress to your shin bone by the pulling and tugging of the muscles and connective tissues in your lower leg. Growing up anytime I’d tell an adult or coach that I had shin splints they’d just tell me to rest. It. But as an athlete in season, you don’t have time to so that never really helped. So I usually would just take some ibuprofen and hope for the best. But my travel basketball coach helped me out a lot. He played college basketball and plays on a minor league team now. He told me to squat against a wall, hold a basketball, and slowly bring my toes up and down over and over. While it hurts extremely bad it works. So I’m definitely going to start doing more of that. I thought that since I had been working on my explosiveness a bunch during the break from football season to basketball season I would be able to tell a difference during the season. But really I haven’t felt any difference if anything I feel like I can’t jump as high as I normally do. This really confuses me as I’m really far into the project and haven’t noticed any changes whatsoever. I’m gonna spend a lot of time thinking about what I’ve liked that I’ve done so far and what I don’t like. I’m going to adjust a lot of my routine.
