Did chest yesterday.
Started with some pullups then tried to 1rm flat bench 200 lbs, but didn't get it. Close but I know I'll get it soon. My 1 rep max is 195 I believe.
5x5 Bench
5x5 Incline
5x5 Decline
Superset With incline dumbell press and flat dumbell press. Did this with a buddy. While your buddy is lifting, you are doing decline pushups to failure the whole time, resting a few seconds after failure and keep going.
Superset
Dumbell Press 30 reps
Incline DB Press 30 reps
NO REST!
We did 3 rounds of this. So it's nonstop movement, you do the presses then bust out decline pushups (decline because I tried doing normal pushups and couldn't get 1
) until your partner finishes presses, then you hop on the presses. The only way to get through it is to grind away at the reps, no way in hell you're gonna get them unbroken unless you're doing pussy weight.
Then did some High cable chest presses and some low cable chest raises. Finished up with dumbell flys
3 sets of each, except flys which were 4 sets.
Abs
4 Mile run.
Ok last week after leg day I've had some pain in my knee, left knee. I think I may have done something to it when I was squatting. It wasn't hurting at all when I wasn't performing a squatting motion however. It is a strong pain but it still feels kind of dull if that makes sense; in other words, the pain is not sharp. It hurts when I bend the knee, go into squat position, or stand up when I've been sitting in a chair.
I'm really hoping it isnt cartilage and I really dont think that's what it is.
But yesterday I went for a 4 mile run, and it felt fine. Felt fine all day unless I bent it or anything like that, stood up, etc. I woke up this morning lying in bed, however, and it was throbbing pretty good. Took some advil and that made it feel a little better, but it's still aching as I'm sitting here right now. I'm not going to run on it. The knee hurt on Sunday when I was squatting but after a few sets the pain subsided, and it didn't seem to feel worse the day after.
Anyway, it hurts like a bitch today even when I'm sitting on me arse, which it wasn't doing before. And of course it hurts when I stand up. I've got a high pain tolerance thankfully but it's something I need to keep an eye on. I think it's just an injury or some kind of flare up so I'll give it a few weeks. I intend to keep squatting on it and fight trough the pain because, though it hurts when I squat, it didn't seem to get worse. Running I think made it worse, though it's not what caused it. I'll keep yall updated in case anyone has any ideas
