when you recover you will find that some concepts have increased in consistancy by like 50%...trust me, injuries are like a magic pill sometimes.

edit: new page, sorry!

No, it's not swollen Ben (S). It feels like my whole knee is just aching. Right underneath the patella, a little bit on the inside and anywhere from right below to above my knee on the outside. Ugh. I'm hoping it will be fine after the weekend. I'm also hoping it's not because of blenders, because I like how mine look.

I can't sleep, so I've just structured a session for tomorrow. My knee will be fine.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 25 Jul 2008 12:01

lol, it looks like I just got back from the pool. Ew.

Anyways. My knee is most definitely NOT fine, which kind of sucks. I played anyways. The hardest I've played all summer, probably. Here's how the structure was:

Warm-up:
- 2 attempts at Mirage>SS Mirage rpt (33 c, 65 c)
- 2 attempts at Illusion>SS Illusion rpt (10 c, 31 c [new record])
- 2 attempts at Legover>SS Legover rpt (22 c, 28 c)
- 2 attempts at Pickup>SS Pickup rpt (19 c, 20 c)

Trick drilling (do the trick until you drop, pick it up and start again):
- Ripwalk x 100 (17, 4, 11, 10, 8, 10, 13, 5, 24)
- Whirl x 50 bs
- Strong: (19, 11, 7, 22)
- Flip: (10, 11, 10, 17, 8 )

>Switch to lavers

- Drifter x 100 (didn't keep track of attempts, it was way too many)
- Gyro Clip x 50 (mostly 1 at a time)
- PDX Whirl x 50 (also mostly 1 at a time)

Fearless & stringing
- Phoenix>Blurriest bsos
- Phoenix>Blurriest>PDX Blender
- Blurriest>Blurriest like 4 times
- Fog bs
- Blurry Drifter bsos

Then I just cooled down. Tomorrow I'm going to work toe sets and double downs. Probably drifters again.

Seriously Zac, if your knee is not feeling good don't push it. I am 99% sure you wont listen to that advice, but in the long run even taking a few days in a row off wont even be a blip on the radar.

Then again, you can judge your knee's severity better than anyone. And 5 fearless would be nifty.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 25 Jul 2008 12:32

I agree Jay. It was pretty stupid of me to play that hard.

I'll try that challenge Josh, but there are a couple other 5 fearless strings that would be easier. I'm not very good at Fog yet.

Ok, as long as you get them on tape!

Post by **Zac Miley** » 26 Jul 2008 00:49

I just stayed up until 4 am drawing.

I haven't done that in a really long time.

I challenge you to hit 25 consec drifters before I do

You really don't want to keep playing on a hurt knee without getting it checked out. The damage your doing could injure you for a year or more.

Also, I'd recommend stop doing whirls 20 times in a row on one side, let alone repeating that drill. I can't see that being good for your knee, despite what people on here may say.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 26 Jul 2008 10:34

Thanks for the concern Chris. My knee is fine now though.

Probably from all those same side whirls!

And you're on Mathieu.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 27 Jul 2008 14:14

Played today. First time since that last session. Skipped a day then?

- Riptide bsos
- Flip atomic is much better, thanks to those atomsmashers I did last time probably. I'll try rubberman next session.
- Blurry Drifter>PDX Blender, almost bs. Off my foot on flip.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 28 Jul 2008 14:07

Tiny session. My legs felt rubbery after like 20 minutes.

- Drifter x 17
- Spinning Whirl>pdx DLO. Not even close on flip.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 29 Jul 2008 12:27

- Quantum Drifter bs
- Whirr
- Blazing Legover (can't get flip whirling yet, working it though)
- Plasma bsos with pdx blender in the string
- Slapdown>PDX Whirl>Dyno bsos

Post by **Zac Miley** » 30 Jul 2008 16:53

PDX Egg bsos.

Nice, props on that.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 31 Jul 2008 10:28

Thanks Ben.

I need a new bag soon. I really hate buying stuff... I want a camera first. Maybe I can wait 'til Cody gets back and steal some fabric from him. Bwahaha.

- Whirling (set) Rake
- Maelstrom
- Spinning Ducking Clipper bsos
- Stepping Swirl>Ripstein (inspired by Jorden)
- Phoenix>Riptide (other riptide in the seal

)
- PDX Blender took a step back because I haven't been doing it the past couple sessions.

I hope it's back tomorrow. No not tomorrow. Break tomorrow. Saturday.
