Holy fuck I'm sore

[Phoenix Dark]

My shoulders feel like they've been fucked with a big dildo, my legs are stiff, and my feet hurt. I guess this is what I get for not stretching before playing basketball with a bunch of little kids yesterday. We had our shitty winter family reunion yesterday; an entire middle school building was rented for the event so we had access to the gym.

Despite not having seriously played basketball in months I was still very sharp. I'm a pure shooter and can hit anything within the 3 point line with ease; my very first coach told me "it's not in the shoes, it's in the wrist" and ever since then I've been a great jump shooter. But damn, all the jumping and running really fucked me up 

I'm not gonna take any pain relievers though. Anyone else having physical ailments?

Being out of shape is a physical ailment?

I'm in shape; I work out weekly. I've been severely slacking on cardio though; well let me rephrase that: I've been blowing off cardio. So my legs were pretty much gone after an hour of basketball.

[CajoleJuice]

So that's out of shape. Weekly isn't much. Better than me though.

I'd be done after like 15 minutes of basketball at this point.

I tried some suicides yesterday but only was able to do 2. Oh shit, back in the day we had to do 4 before every practice and 4 after practice. And even more if we were coming off a bad game. I sure as hell don't miss AAU

[CajoleJuice]

oh god suicides

I was able to run a 5K in like 28 minutes a few months ago, though. That's not horrific.

Did you do any of your weak barely-dunks?

Get down here and play some real basketball.  I can't jump, dribble, or shoot but I have the intangibles.  I'm the x factor, baby. 

Are you old?  Old guys always win the pickup games because they know how to cheat.  For example, the old guys would rather foul than give up a layup.  Also, older guys don't need to jump because they know how to prevent the young'uns from jumping.

There's nothing worse than the Uncle Rico-esque dude in a pick up game. He's usually in his 40s, still in shape, and totally obsessed with recounting stories about how awesome he was two decades ago. Those guys hit HARD, body check like porn stars, and love pushing from behind. Perfect example: my dad. Everytime we play he wants to talk about how he was an all star in HS/college, used to dunk at will, etc.

I don't drive to the basket if an old dude is in the pickup game. They'll try to break your leg or something. Instead you've gotta fake them out with post moves - but even then they're liable to push you after the shot lol

[Phoenix Dark]

Is Maj as good as he claims? 

[Christopher]

Man I always sucked at Basketball - Football is much better.

But it's good that your sore, keep doing it.

[Himu]

I feel sick today...

I rested a bit and I still feel awful. Ughhh. This can't be happening to me now. I have so many projects to do and I can't do them sick.

[Christopher]

why not just do cardio every other day then?
