Dang bro, you crank out the sets! Good to see an upward trend on the squats. Are they feeling pretty good now? You should have your form nicely sorted.

Chubby13

Forms good, back to where it used to be. Even on the heavy sets I'm confident for the entire set. It's getting to the point that I think I can almost knock off a few of those warm up sets at the start. I probably would of gone to 150 had I had a spot. 
 
I'm also stoked that I'm handling the full leg sessions again, getting no pain and no swelling in the knee which is good, although I make an effort with the ice and anti inflams as a precaution. If I get through this next month without incident I'm going to look at re introducing super sets again

Paekakboyz

Awesome bro - good to hear you are still working hard on the ice/anti-inflam etc - last thing you want is to push too hard too soon. You must be so close to getting back to normal that it's tempting to really crank up the training. Probably one of the trickiest parts of the rehab cycle if you get carried away!

Chubby13

It's a constant test. I've learnt a lot through trial and error. Mostly error though. I'm starting to know my limits though

Chubby13

Went for a run tonight. About 5km in 23mins. Fatigue kicked in from the squats for the last 2 km. first long distance run I'm a couple months. First half was awesome, good stride out and everything. 2nd half not so much haha. Good loosen up though.

This was a late, last minute gym session last night. With doing the gym at about 7:45pm, I stayed away from the super pump max so that I would sleep afterwards. Considering both of those I was pleasantly surprised with the reps I pushed. It was the first time that ive managed to get both the flat and incline bench presses under 4 sets for 70 reps.

Went for a run tonight. Didn't go to well. Tweaked my hamstring half way around which made for a long 2 and a bit km back home. It's not bad, hamstring was just a bit tight after last nights gym. First half went really well, got a good stride out and got up the big hill really well. 
 
Ice and rest time now. Time to lighten the leg work for a couple days

Chubby13

Shoulders and Back Session tonight. 
 
Was absolutely wrecked after work today. Combination of starting studying again, training, and being busy with budgets at work the body was fucked. After a quick lie down after work, and a scoop of Super Pump Max I managed to drag my sorry arse to the gym and was stoked to knock out a decent session.

Always the way I reckon - when you're feeling low or stressed, the workout picks you up even more than normal. Gives you focus on simple things and leaves the brain alone. 
 
No matter how much I don't feel like going to karate, I always feel zen like a mofo afterwards

Yeah I was feeling great straight after the workout. Great pump

[b]Legs and Bicep Tonight: (120.9 kg)[/b] 
 
I ran to the gym tonight to loosen up the legs. I havent done anything on the legs since I tweaked my hamstring last Tuesday. It worked a treat as I started to loosen up just before I got to the gym. 
 
It was 2.4km to run to the gym, and 1.4 km run home.

The 160 didn't come easy, but with a spot to support my ribs I knocked out the 5 reps. I tried another couple, and got up but I needed to much of a spot.

Time for an update for the week: 
 
[b]Tuesday: [/b]Was my first non contact session post op. Didn't involve much as the team was preping for a preseason game on Thursday but did manage to get the 10 min warm up and two 5 min games of touch conditioning games. I was really happy with how it felt. It was a lot stronger than I thought it would be. The mental aspect will be big in the future though.

Today Was a 45 min knee rehab session

Chubby13

RPM Spin class this morning. First rpm in 4-6 weeks and my god did I feel it. Legs felt heavy and full of lactic acid and never really got any better. It's a different type of fitness and I need to make an effort to pick the sessions up as it worked really well for me last year
