702 Squat

305 Farmers

Calf and Ab superset...

I don't feel too bad. I'll be taking ibuprofen before bed and icing my knee for the next 24 hours for sure. Right hamstrings feel pretty taxed...but they should be. Hopefully I'll get better...

Big effort! That load has got to feel uncomfortable on the back!

But are sure your doing the right thing by overloading your knee so much when it's not 100%?

Of course I'm not sure...lol.

My knee really didn't feel anything in that position(it is actually my hamstring that hurts...where the tendons come across and attach below the knee and on the shin...). I did warm up with some box squats with my bodyweight and they felt strange. It might be in my mind though...

My girlfriend lives on the 2nd floor of a building with no elevators. I walked up and down several times yesterday and my entire knee joint area feels week...but it hasn't had ANY work in about a month...very little movement at all to be honest. If I didn't move my right arm for a month it should feel weaker too I'd think...

I dunno man...I see your point. I just have to push it as hard as I can (within reason and with using my head as much as possible). I can't just lay down and accept an injury...

Hope that makes some sense....

Yeah but only by a little. And I believe you still out-skwat me.

No problem

perhaps you need to get it moving more, lots of reps, get the blood in there, a bit of walking.
Walking is great - I started doing 12 min walks a few tiems a week, that has helped my reocvery and foor/ankle muscle strnegth as well.


Although i don't know what your injury is like

I spent 2 hours cutting the grass yesterday...without a knee brace. It wasn't FUN for my hamstring tendons...but I survived. I probably need to do some sled dragging (VERY light) 3-4x per week to increase the work load that it can handle...
