Starting a log, training like a madman to work out my anger!

Mixing high reps and low is the way to go. High reps are the best way to grow, low reps are the best way to set your potential higher by building a greater strength base.

Did all this in under 2 hours. I was moving nonstop. Going back to the gym later tonight to get in my third hour ;) cardio and abs. I am cutting back on carbs I'm getting love handles again. I know it's not a real big deal but it fucking bugs the hell out of me lol.
 
Fuck guys yesterday I ran just like 2.5 miles. Today when I was squatting I had this sharp shearing pain in my left knee. Just bending my knee hurts insanely bad. It's aching terribly bad right now and I'm just sitting here.

I think it was the running that flared it up and leg day just caused the shit to hit the fan.

It doesn't look swolen or anything.. . when I extend my leg sitting down it actually is more of a dull aching pain which is odd. Like almost a bruise kind of pain inside my kneecap. Standing up and going into squat position is what causes the sharp pain.

It's happened before and it always seems to be after I run. I am going to quit running altogether :(
Hopefully that's going to solve the problem. It's so depressing though. I'll do whatever I can to work around it but I really hope it doesn't get to a point where I cant squat or anything.

I'm going to ice it tonight. I took 4 ibuprofen (spelling? lol) as well.

It might be cartilage, but I'm also flat footed which causes me to walk and run oddly almost. That's why I think running is the culprit. My stride is probably improper.

Regardless, the pain hit early in the squats, about set 3 or 4... Squatting didn't seem to make it feel any worse and it didn't actually hurt WHILE squatting, just after...

I'm pretty pissed

Probably shouldn't have done those leg extentions. They did not help with the problem I'm having with my knee that I stated in my last post. Lesson learned
 
Dudeeee I had this happen a year ago.. For me I was running alot and one day after squatting I couldn't extend my left leg... It was a stress fracture for me.

Took 3 weeks to be able to walk again without pain

Took another 4 weeks before I could leg press 1 plate on it. This was about 1 full year ago. (This is why my squat is kinda low- basically had to start with just bar February 2012)

You really wanna get it looked at if tomorrow it starts to hurt to walk. And don't lift on it (like squat/DL/leg press)

A stress fracture is minor, but can worsen if you keep at it
 
Fuck I hope that's not it lol I had a stress fracture in the ankle about 8 months ago... It feels completely different though man like a cartilage thing. Makes this really gross noise when I extend it. But fuck I didn't think about a stress fracture, that's another possibility. Definitely will get it looked at if it keeps hurting. Thanks man. Grrr lol

It feels a lot better man, now it feels like bruised. Squatting, stair stepping, deadlifting nothing makes it hurt. It's gotta be the running. Thanks for askin
