They can't seem to get a good diagnosis. They always seem to miss something. I mentioned the back surgery in the previous post. There was a typo. They missed Bob's herniated disc that should have been diagnosed 6 months earlier. How many times did they look at him, while treating his knees and not see it. They missed Yao's ankle fracture, when it was examined and determined to be only a sprain. They had him running and practicing. They also missed his previous stress fracture in his foot, and had him playing. They also missed Steve Francis's torn quadriceps tendon in December and determined surgery was needed in January.
To the staff's defense: Some fractures do not show up immediately on a radiograph, only after a period of time will they become. So if the xrays come back without any obvious fracture, they have no reason to say it is fractured.
Maybe if the strength and conditioning coach could adapt his muscles they could adapt to help the bones though?
my theory is nobody knows what yao's limit is and nobody knows how to train yao properly. in someway it's understandably. yao's one of a kind, and it's unlikely we will see another skilled 7'6 footer anytime soon. but it does speak about training and coaching staff's lack of foresight and imagination. they didn't know how to deal with Yao so they just used their old training method on Yao, maybe thinking in the line of if it's okay with other 7 foot big men to play xx minutes and y hours training, then it "should" be okay with yao. Yao's a hardworking guy and he plays his heart out on the court, and he will play till his feet are broken into pieces, it's coaching and training staff's responsibility to be professional and cautious, and they failed miserably.
Umm...it said he got it looked it when he felt the pain. Why would they check his back before that, if it was pain free, during a knee check up?? You dont know if the disk was immediately herniated when he suffered the injury. He could have simply had a flare up later or favored it and caused it months later. Again, things like that pop up on EVERY team. No team consistently scans the whole body of players throughout the season for no reason. As for Yao, they said the fracture WAS NOT in the MRI they performed right after the sprain, so the fracture happened later. A fracture can happen over time or immediately. They could have performed an MRI today showing nothing, then have yao run and fracture the bone during the run and it would show the next day in that MRI. Therefore even daily MRI's won't prevent this. Are you saying they're lying and either didnt give him an MRI or ignored the fracture? What do you want, to hook up a real-time MRI to his foot as he runs to make sure nothing starts cracking? They didn't miss anything on Francis' injury. They just thought he could rehab it back, which wasn't a wrong treatment to follow: "It's definitely tough and disheartening," Francis said Thursday, 90 minutes before the Rockets played Cleveland. "Despite the way the season started, I thought I was making progress. But after rehabbing for a while, it still didn't respond in the manner I wanted it to."http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3235647 He was forced to have surgery because his muscle didnt respond further into the rehab, not because Houston missed something. It's not uncommon for players to try the rehab route in hopes of avoiding surgery, only to realize later it's not working well. So they've only really missed Yao' fracture last season, which isn't hard to believe considering he didnt have pain. Trust me when i say this happens all over the league... Bynum pushes back his return date a month: The news that Bynum could be out until December means the center is pushing back his recovery timetable. Last week, Bynum said he expected to be playing in November, but now he is talking about a December return. http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/feed/2010-10/andrew-bynum Bucks can't give a timeline on Delfinos injury...Skiles says it probably won't be much longer, well guess what, that was a month ago and he still isn't back. Not even cleared to practice yet: Bucks SF Carlos Delfino, who missed his fourth straight game with a strained neck Tuesday -- an injury that dates back to the second game of the season -- likely won't miss much more time, coach Scott Skiles told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, but he added the team didn't have a timetable. http://sportshizle.com/fantasy-sports/player-news/carlos-delfino-delfinos-return-date-unclear Kenyon Martin has had microfractre surgery on both knees.,...he's developed tendonitis because of it, late last season he had a knee injury and it was determined he wouldnt need surgery and could take the rehab route. guess where he is now? Rehabbing from SURGERY beacause he had to do it afterall this summer.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ed-surgery-will-return-to-nuggets-this-season Please just take my word for it. You haven't really been on point in any of these scenarios.... where did you hear or read that?
Insert discussion about how organization screwed the pooch here once again=__________. Then insert response here_______ about no its not. Rinse repeat. .......2 stars careers fade through injuries and bad handling by staff in each in some form or fashion as only facts in house
Rocket trainers are garbage. Look below at the guy named cheke64 comments. That guy nostradamus (cheke64) saw this bull**** coming all along but nobody believed him because he doesnt have a doctors degree or "connections". Somebody crucify me already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ2WilQ8nCg
This comment has received too many negative votes show hide In strength, training the same way for 5 days can be counter productive and lead to injuries. cheke64 7 months ago cheke64 7 months ago I saw that comment after opening it. The funny thing about so many negative comments towards you? Is you are exactly right. While you may not be a Dr. with a degree in college for strength and conditioning? I most certainly spent a few years in the military and weight lifting to know exactly what your saying is 100% true.
check page 7 for the LULZ . I speak from experience. Ive done everything from jumpsoles to deadlifts. Playing basketball is my passion, too bad I started too late (age 18). I go to ADARQ.org (training site)forum everyday, 3 times a day to see what I can do to improve or help out other people.
I see how they are training him and not impressed. They might want to ask Brian Cushing next time how to train. Minus the roids of course. They arent getting any results because that training is weak sauce. Thats how we used to get warmed up before we started to do the heavier lifting while i was in the military training like a body builder for two years straight. Then completely abandon that stuff for more intense workouts. its true though. Most people dont know there is a difference in weight lifting than just lifting the weights. They dont know the heavy weight vs the smaller more reps benifits. They dont know the faster vs slower more concentrated reps benifits. The difference between lifting to exhaustion and lifting to pump up quickly. Hey the "experts" with their degrees know more than body builders without their degrees though...
So youre advice is right because basketball is your passion? Maybe fitness is the trainers' passion? In that video on youtube you made assumptions and thought the training was bad, but purely based on your own assumptions. I don't doubt you've picked up some good info along the way, but you're mistake is assuming that's the only info out there and it applies to a rehabbing yao. A lot of the stuff he was doing was simply to gain his mobility back, so there's nothing wrong with doing it frequently. There's some core work there as well, which is necessary to get back the right firing patterns/muscle chain reactions after being on crutches for so long. You want him to do heavy squats and bench presses while rehabbing? Why would you suggest that? That's transfering too much force through his legs. It's fine after he's done with all this, but not at this point in the video. It really sounds like you watched tmac's famous workout video where he does sets sing momentum and utnil failure and you assumed the team trainers do the same, which is definitely not the case. That was tmac's own personal trainer, who he fired later. That guy should hve never been training him to begin with. First of all, cushing trains for football. not the same at all...second of all, it's "weak sauce" because these aren't to build functional strength, but core strength and stability. It's what your suppose to do to build someone up to the harder and more involved workouts after they come back from injury. You'd know that if you had a degree in a related field...
I also talked **** about tmacs workout.Where did you get that I agree with tmac's trainer? You want me to show you the evidence .Theres plenty of things he is doing wrong(yao's video). How will heavy bench pressing affect his leg rehab? Believe it or not it would of been safer to do heavy squats than slamming his foot hard on those hang snatches.
You wouldnt know since you dont have any kind of experience or degree to be opening your mouth about this subject whatsoever. I would know they are trying rehab training and it is still weak rehab he is having trouble with. Your obviously wrong for the simple fact his foot couldnt sustain any muscles strength down there for it not to strain and then ultimately break. A degree? A course in training as your lifestyle doesnt count and the various nutritional courses you learn in the military as well as training with others who are professionals at it and yes????? Sometimes have to go through rehab because of various injuries through training you moron? This is not one subject you have the depth of knowledge to even acknowledge me further on or pretend you have a modicum of some expertise over me on.
