Wanted to ask the hoopers something. I have sessions back to back days. Knee-wise, it don't feel great the morning after second day. Indoor courts so at least it's not concrete. But my question is, would you wear your more cushion shoes that sacrifice court feel on day one, and then your regular shoes for day two, in hopes it just feels like one session?

Or would you wear your regular shoes day 1, and then the ones with more cushion and less court feel day 2?

Kind of feels like maybe the second plan would help with the after-use stuff (soreness etc). But maybe if you wear the max cushion ones first, then session two doesn't even have that many negative effects. I dunno.

I have lots of options but the shoes are likely to be Cut Turbos for cushion and ja3s or sab1s for court feel.

Hooping back 2 back days? Lord I have seen what you do for others......

you’re probably cooked either way broadie, realistically the choice of footwear is not going to save your knees (unless you have a movement issue that footwear corrects or something akin to that)…in reality you probably have either too much wear & tear or you aren’t fit enough to handle back 2 back days…maybe both? so it’s likely you’d have to ‘load manage’ one or both of those days by either reducing/sacraficing intensity for one or both days that or attempt to build up your capacity to deal with & recover from such efforts

Thanks for the thoughts. It's not crazy bad, I'm just trying to think it through from a workout perspective. Like forget it was basketball, imagine it was your workout and you had to do arms 2 days in a row. Assuming for the sake of this example that free weights are tougher than machines, would you do the machines the first day and free weights the second? Or do the free weights the first day then machines the second?

These days the only real crushers are the occasional outdoor sessions running full. I used to try out shoes outdoors but I tried some Kawhis and tried some UA shoes (futr's or something like that) and the next day I was like Nipsey Russell in the Wiz

answer would be the same (leaving as an aside that arms can withstand more & recover a bit better from intensity than something full body like running games in hoops)…man would have to build the capacity to be able to deal with back to back days and/or vary the intensity…free weights are tougher exactly because they require more total body effort/coordination/stability as opposed to machines that allow for more isolation, so deciding to do one vs. the other IS ‘load management’ kinda…can’t really do this w/hoops if you are actually in competitive runs where your opponent is another person kinda forcing you to make movement decisions/react

if the consecutive days are whooping man, it kinda is irrelevant what the activity is there really are only a few paths as an option, build up to being able to deal, vary the intensity such that the activity is easier to withstand, understand #itiswhatitis & deal with the consequence & try to ‘optimize’ for recovery

You go with free weights to keep range of motion at its peak.

But the real question is are you stretching post game or after hoop sessions?

If not , that’s your problem right there. Stretch get some protein after to help aid recovery stretching is super important
