Absolutely walloped my knee due to a "failure to unclip" cycling fall and it has swollen badly... As a result, no heavy squats for a while. :eek::mad:

(Just in case anybody is reading this, pulling exercises are fine for my knee at the moment because they are not putting the joint into anything like full flexion like squatting would)
 
Had to run in Chelsea boots yesterday, and my knee got pretty uncomfortable. More ibuprofen and less legs in the gym. :(

MUSCLE SNATCH: 45*6
STRICT PRESS : 50*10
PULLUP: 12*8
PUSHUP: BW*15

Pumptastic session.
 
Chest day. Again. Knee is much less swollen (but still carrying fluid), and has now started hurting, which is "good."

SINGLE LEG GOOD MORNING @ 30*5 Figured the legs needed some non-flexional love...
BENCH @ 80*6 then 60*16
ROW @ 80*8 then 60*12
 
Moar beach weights...

OHP @ 50*11
CHINUP @ 12*7
KNEELING PRESS @ 20*8
SAR @ 20*12

Had gentle bike ride today and my knee didn't explode. This is progress.

Shame I have been helping with my employer's COVID-19 response this week and been too exhausted for anything else. And then they closed the office gym, too.
 
Some actual weights for lifted...! After a bit of self-diagnosis, I am also restrict my upper body after finding some seriously untapped pain in supraspinatus that will need resolving.

POWER CLEAN @ 70kg (5) First set was great; last two sets... Not so great.
BACK SQUAT @ 100kg (5) Surprisingly easy. Thank you, Joe Wicks.
 
Power clean @ 80kg (3)
Back squat @ 110kg (3) then 80kg (10)

Felt good. Very good. Particularly after Emily's Short Mix yesterday @ 247W FTP.
 
Odd working patterns meant a weird squat session this evening...

Topped out at 110*6 which was amusing (ramped up in triples m from 60-80-100). Will try and do Alex Dowsett's TT session on Zwift tomorrow, even though I can't do it live (work meeting sitting right on top of it). :rolleyes:
 
Alex Dowsett's TT session on Zwift was brutal, but just about doable enough that I didn't have to skip anything.

Two days later, and squats...

BACK SQUAT @ 120*3 then 90*12
SNATCH GRIP RDL @ 70*10

Silly jump in volume achievable simply by squatting regularly. As strong as I have been in the past three years and weighed in at 85.6kg this morning, too... So not far off the lightest I have been in 9 years. :eek:

Still not training arms, however, as my supraspinatus keeps reminding me, so that might account for some of the gains.
