College Football Training Log

[LuckSide]

Scrimmage went well today!!! My cut blocks kind of sucked, but for it being the first time ever attempting them it wasn't too shabby. I did have two plays that I had the ball, one was an inside zone run which I took for 18 yards and was barely brought down by my foot, and the second was a check down screen which I took for 11 yards and dragged the first tackler 2 yards before being brought down by the second guy. I did mess up my foot. On the foot tackled it got trapped underneath the tackler with my toe pointed, dragging my foot. It is swollen right now on top and hurts to walk but I'm taking advil and keeping it elevated. We have a two a day tomorrow.

[LuckSide]

Foot update: It is more swollen this morning and does hurt a bit more. I've already taken 4 Advil so hopefully that helps with the pain, but we'll have to wait and see. Going to talk with the trainer before practice.

[LuckSide]

Spoke with the trainer and I could have a fracture or it might just be a sprain. I am over at the hospital getting and X-ray done now. Hope this goes well.

[LuckSide]

Luckily it looks like it's just a sprain. Hopefully it'll be good enough to practice on in a couple days.

[LuckSide]

The swelling has already gone down tenfold from yesterday and it is starting to look normal again. It still hurts but not nearly as much as it did. Just gotta keep resting it and hopefully I should be good to go either tomorrow or Wednesday.

[LuckSide]

I was able to practice during our first practice today. It was still feeling like a pinching on the top of my foot so I had it taped to hell, and my foot actually started to fall asleep. I guess we will find out how it holds up during the second practice shortly.

[LuckSide]

Ended up getting cut today before they finalized the roster. I thought I had a pretty good camp. Even though I didn't make it for this season I plan to continue training and come out even stronger next season and get that starting spot.

[DCSpartan]

Dude, I was impressed that you saw it through all the way. Keep your head up high, get that foot healthy, and keep at it!

[mikeyluwshs]

Damn man, i've been following and reading your stuff for a while. So sorry keep working and don't stop.

[LuckSide]

Thanks for the support guys! Even though I didn't make it this year that isn't going to deter me from my goals. I don't quit things when I start them and this is just a minor speed bump. I'll see if I can get a couple plays from the scrimmage uploaded.

I will be in the gym starting my training again tomorrow!

[LuckSide]

I decided to skip Friday and just let my foot rest. It's still hurting but I will be back in the gym today.

[LuckSide]

Today was a weak day at the gym. I guess that's what happens when you don't get to lift like you normally do for almost a month. Good starting point for the next months though!

If anyone wanted to see some video from camp I am going to post a couple clips here. The first one is where my foot gets sprained when I am tackled. The second video is after my foot is sprained already. I end up missing a stiff arm, but for those being really my only who plays where I saw the ball during the scrimmage I thought it was pretty good. Not too shabby for not playing in 8 years!

[LuckSide]

Changing up the routine a bit, calling it my big gains routine. Incorporating some things from previous routines which should help me keep gaining how I want to. I think this will help a lot. Today is technically the second day of the routine, even though I didn't start yesterday. But yesterday was pretty much what I'll be doing Mondays anyways.
