My Diet Log

[chewyxrage]

it's feeling much better right now, but I was limping for a few days and I'm still wearing a knee brace/support. I'm just going to let it heal on it's own sincce it seems to be doing OK (so far) but I probably won't do legs for a while again and I'll probably go back to the rehab process of high reps, low weight, no squats or deads.

Were you wearing a knee brace when you deadlifted?

no

I had jsut started doing squats for a couple of weeks at low weight, but just the fact that I could bend my knee that much with weight and have it not hurt made me feel like my troubles were over. So I decided tht it was probably OK to dead lift too.

The more I think about it, the more i feel it was the dead lifts because I did SLDL's which put a lot of strain on the hamstrings and back of the leg/knee and that is basically where it hurt.

any idea how much 4-5 big handfulls of shelled nuts is?

got to go with the shelled version......wayyy more fun, plus you eat a lot less!!!

no idea bud, I'll try to count how many nuts are in a 1/4 cup later on today

Hmm...You should think about maybe getting a brace to wear while performing deads/squats....either that or when you heal maybe only do one per week. Like squat one week, dead the next week - untill you're sure you're healed.

Re-injuries are so disappointing

there were 61 nuts in the 1/4 cup I just consumed

so that would be about 30 normal, 2 pod peanuts
