stop jumping if you have osgolod schlatters

stop jumping if you have osgolod schlatters

Thats kinda bold to say. I have been conditioning my leggs so that i can jump i have been working my quads and hamstrings. I also can't just stop beacuse then i will lose everything i have worked for like they say if you stop doing what activty you were doing when you have osgood it will actualy make the osgood worse beacuse the muscles will tighten and will make it worse also i do plyometrics at my school, Also i have been working on my percisons. And i now what i am capable of and what i can do so to an extent what i have been doing is a decrease in what i was capable to do before osgood. So i have stop jumping to an extent so i can't just stop completly i know my body better then you i now what it tells me i listen to my body.

Today as another really good day i went out and trained for 2 hours. I did mostly precisions and stuff like that it was a really good day but i was sore from yesterday. And also i had a workout for 75 min. I did mostly pull ups i did some chest and some fly's. and i worked on my forearms and stuff. Also downtown theirs this totem poll and i could only get to the second animal usually but today i persisted on getting to the top so i did and when i was up their i thought that the totem poll represented my training so far because the first one was easy to climb and the second one was really hard and i got on the last one and its an eagle so now i can sore to new heights and i can express myself more through my movements it was really epic It felt like i became a new person so now i have the eagle by my side

Philosophy Journal

OK i think i will sometimes post in this section when I am having a change in my philosophy of Parkour. So anyways this is what is happening since i really started Parkour its been almost a competition between me Dana and Tyler but its not a good thing and since their is this competition we mostly try to learn the same thing as the other person its more of a thing between me and Dana. But i am changing my views of Parkour lately and i am trying to well find MY way of everything. I think this will be really good and also I will progress faster because i won't have to worry about Dana getting 10 muscle ups in a row because that's what he wants to do and its not what i want to do if i want to do something i will learn it not caring about their views about it.
