Very similar to what I have going on. Pushing off, such as walking up stairs with weight in each hand really brings out the lain. Mine was more concentrated to the back of the knee on the inside but has recently spread down to the bottom of my knee as well. I also have developed cramps hamstring glutes etc all in my left leg only. Does your knee pop more than normal? I was able to box squat but I had to give up on that even because that started bothering me.

Yeah, definitely more popping that usual. Which makes sense - the damage causes inflammation, which causes everything else in there to move around and snap in and out of place. I should really be hitting the NSAIDs harder than I have been.

Conditioning - Week 26 ME Day / Hudson Week 2
BW: 205
Color code:
Estimated 1RM PR (weight + 0.033 x weight x reps)
PR for reps/weight
Squat - Starr Protocol
45x25
45x25
This was rough. Working on the hamstring injury and trying to get as deep as possible on each rep. Most of them were right around parallel. Second set was a little better than the first, which is a good sign. ROM seems to improve as I get the legs warmed up. I think in the future I'm going to do these last. Going to try to 55x25 and 65x25 next time I do these (perhaps Saturday), and will do them at the end of my workout. After I had finished my deadlifts for the day I was able to get down almost to an ATG squat position with little to no pain, so I'm pretty excited about that - especially considering how stiff the leg has been the past couple of days after playing Frisbee on Tuesday.
Bench Press
45x5
45x5
135x5

365x1
420x1
420x1
420x1 (vid)
I can't find my chalk bowl, but I did find my chalk. First set I didn't use it, and damn near dropped it at lockout, second set I carefully opened it and grabbed the smallest piece I could off of it without it going everywhere, and still nearly dropped it. Last set I got a decent amount and was able to hold for a little while, but grip strength has obviously suffered lately.
Incline Press
45x5
45x5
95x3
135x2
155x4
Thought I had done 5 last time, so I was bummed about only getting 4. I almost went for a 5th but knew it would be a grinder so I racked it. Turns out I only got 3 last week, so this was actually an improvement.

Notes:
Good day today. Feeling pretty good about the knee, but going to take it slow. Special thanks to FCC for recommending the Starr Protocol for injury recovery!

Yeah, I love my rack, but it was kind of a budget rack. Now that I have the space, I would love to have a larger one with a lat attachment and some plate storage.
Once I start squatting heavy again I think I am going to need to find a way to bolt it to the wall - it shakes quite a bit as is.My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

Shrugs
155x10
245x25

First set was super easy compared to last week so I bumped the weight a bit. I'll be happy to move away from these 25 rep sets.

Got some vids of these, but only included the first few reps. Depth is close, but not there yet.

Notes:
Been busy all weekend. I finally got my deadlift platform stained and the mats glued down. I'll post some pics later in the week. Started working on a chalk stand and it was taking longer than I thought it would. One of the legs is like half an inch longer than the others, so I need to trim that a bit so it doesn't look like it was built by a blind retarded monkey. It should be nice enough though.My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

I'd be going a fair bit lower down (more rom) on those RDL's... no straps? impressive grip man. will take a leaf out of your book, need to get some serious grip strength for BJJ. Looking thick, solid and tight. strong v taper and facial aesthetics brah.

Conditioning - Week 27 Ultimate Frisbee
BW: 205.2
Avg Heart Rate: 160 bpm
Max Heart Rate: 185 bpm
Notes:
Knee was feeling MUCH better today. Probably about 90%, with mobility up to maybe 80%. I was pushing it pretty hard playing Frisbee, and had a great time. Won all 3 games, and made some really nice jumping catches that I would have missed last week. The very first play of the game I chased down the guy I was guarding for a deep pass and it took everything I had. It hurt, but he never ran deep on me again after that - good thing too, because I probably wouldn't have been foolish enough to follow him again.
I've been better about taking the ibuprofen at least twice a day (sometimes 3 times if I remember) and I think that has helped. I'm interested to see how my high rep squats are on Thursday.My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

A little harder than it probably should have been. Looking at the numbers coming I'm starting to wonder if I am crazy for starting this high. Considering dropping to 10 lb jumps each week. First pull was DOH with about a 3 second hold, others were with straps.
Bench Press

Pretty easy again this week. My buddy spotting me thought I was going to attempt a 4th and didn't even help me rack it.
Squat - Starr Protocol
65x20
75x20
ROM is better, but I'm still not even close to 100%. If I work at it I can get down to close to an ATG position once my legs are warmed up, but going through the squat motion is still painful.

I did take vids, but don't have the cable to upload, maybe I'll post them in a couple days.
Notes:
Pretty good day today. Got to use the new platform and it was just as good as it has ever been. I'm excited to see how the chalk patterns develop over time so that it looks like it actually gets used. I was going to do some DB incline press, but my bench in the seated position is too low to really get the DBs in position with my limited knee ROM. I was too lazy to switch back to BB press.My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

Meh. Frisbee was cancelled today due to rain so I went to the gym with a couple buddies to play basketball. It held up well enough. I have been slacking on my squats though so I need to work on that. Had a super busy weekend so I skipped the Hudson accessories this week. I'll just move on to week 4 deads on Thursday.

Figured the deads were enough of a warmup. This was the appropriate weight for these I think.
Bench Press

Decisive. Feeling really good about my bench considering my weight loss. Bench has stayed constant for months now.

I used a lot more weight, but the difference between 20 reps and 25 reps makes a world of difference. Will probably start with 315 next time.
