You loved it!!!

hope you didn't skip a workout for it though
 
Pretty good workout...

for someone with a sand-filled vagina.
 
not funny....:mad:



12-29

Upper body DE

BW: 190

Yeah, I barely ate yesterday cuz I was hung over as shit...so I think that affected today's workout...eh...

Push Press..8x3..155...kinda tough actually...still good speed and lockout...

Dips...3x8...+35...kinda tough....will hit the 40 again next week though for sure.

Chins...3x8...BW...yeah these were still kinda tough...I thought this would be the week to add weight too....eh

Bent rows...3x8..155..135..135...yeah 155 was do able but form wasn't strict so I dropped back down...



Overall not too shabby considering the circumstances...next week it's on!!
 
do you train anymore?
 
Strange...I was going to bump this thread as well today.
 
Hrmm...we must be connecting on an astral plane.
 
heh, I still train, but I'm pretty off the program because I'm trying to get these knee back to 100% before really sinking my teeth into another leg workout.

I kinda didn't want to update the journal because of the shame associated with saying "I can't workout legs, I have a bad knee"......mike boyle wrote an article about how lame that is. :laugh:



I have made some good progress with a few lifts though...


Weighted Dips: 70lbs x 8...I did this today, I could've done more...I think I've been sandbaggin.

Weighted Chins: +20x8 then 7....also did this today. When I finally stopped being a pussy and pushed the envelope, I got some work done.

I think I'm doing weighted pull ups for 5 triples with a 35lb dumbell hanging from me...

I hit 245 for 3,3,2,2,2 on monday on bench.

I haven't progressed much on incline dumbell presses in quite a while, but I've been doing this exercise for quite some time. I may drop it or make it a high incline press for a change of pace.

DB rows haven't gotten better really either, but grip is what's holding me back in this department, but it is improving.
 
Why do you give a rat's ass is some asshat doesn't like your journal? If they don't like it, fuck 'em!

I know I shouldn't internalize, but...

did you read his article on anterior knee pain? Might help you out.
 
I really think there may be some soft tissue damage. I'm letting a chiro friend of mine have at it (it costs me nothing and it is very convenient at the moment) right now....but if it shows no improvement any time soon, I'm going to see an ortho friend of mine (works with dr. andrews....the guy is good)

Thing is. I can't do any of those exercises listed without pain. Sometimes I have pain just walking around. That's what it's come to.

:(

you could find a good PT place that will do some Astym treatment on you.
 
Verrrrry interesting article...

now this brings a whole new basket of things to think about. I am beginning to wonder if the pain in my glutes I was getting a few weeks back is connected to my knee pain. My glutes felt really tight, and the article suggest that tight glutes can cause the IT band to pull on the patella right?

Also the fact that is could do with hip stability, then it talks about how unilateral movements like Bulgarian squats have a lesser ROM of the hip...and Bulgarian squats were one of the very few things I could be pain free even when my knee felt like shit. I am wondering if it could all be connected...hrmm...

nice dude! Now you are marinating on that shit!!

Read up that article I just emailed you. More good shit!!
 
Yeah I just read that, it is good shit. Alot of those things I was familiar was but it wasn't till now that I realized the importance of the sequence they must be done in in order to work.

edit: i will stop whoring this journal now.

Keep whoring my journal....Otherwise it get's boring.




Patrick...they can do astym at my chiro's place. They used it with me a couple times, and ultrasound too....and the cold laser. They've been using astym right around the knee though.....should I have them use it on my adductors and IT band? Which muscles exactly you think?

I may have the guy do PNF stretching with me on a regular too...A girl I know went to see dugas about her knee (her shit would actually swell) and he just told her to stretch, that there was no damage.

I will also be going back to an upper/lower split next week I think....doing some hip dominant movements and playing around with quad dominant movements that don't hurt. (or TRYING exercises to see if they don't hurt, bulgarians being at the top of the list) And with the extra time on my hands I will be doing grip work as well...anybody got any good articles on building an iron grip? I've never really read much about it.

What other movements do you recommend patrick? The ones in mikes article mostly? I can actually do BW squats without much of any pain at all. (I still have to show clients how to do them at my job LMAO. Imagine ur trainer going "alright we're going to do squats now, but I can't show you how to do them cuz I fucked my knee up!")

right around the knee should be good as that is where the inflamation is occuring. Just because that is where the symtom is does not mean that is where the problem stems from. Enqiure about using the Astym on your ITband if it is tight. The procedure is called "scrapping" or "stripping". It can be painful!

BW squats don't bother you? I thought it hurts just walking?

Are you icing?

As far as exercises go, you need to find out where the problem is steming from. That will tell you what to do. Do you know anyone that can assess you? Look at ankle mobility and flexibility and glute strength, lateral hamstring tightness, IT band tightness, TFL tightness, etc....has the chiro tested your flexibility? Do you know which way your patella tracks? Does he know what your knees and femur do when you move?
