My knee has been killing me more than usual this week. As I work in IT and do have to do some kneeling in the server room from time to time, I think my knee is starting to tell me that "We can't do this any more mate, kneeling is really bad!"
Anyway, pain aside, I have been making some good weight increases on the leg press. I just noticed in the mirror there is some nice bulk starting to form on my tiny little broken legs.
As lunges hurt me, I am going to try doing some squats on Friday.
Yes I said it, I’m gona try it. But you see I am only in this position because I have spent the last 4-5 months on the leg press, and my legs have some strength in them and are used to such movements.
I am also going to try jumping to 30kg tomorrow on my OHP. That would be a jump of 5kg in one week. It will be a struggle but I think I have it in me.
As for the rows..... I tried bent over dumbbell rows, but still didn’t feel right.
I have options I can try:
1. T - Bar rows. Which I have never tried before.
2. Bent over rows using a smith machine.
3. Bent over rows using barbell.
4. Fall back is the low back machine.
I think I'm going to try bent over rows using barbell again tomorrow.
Over all things are going well enough. I’m going to work on sorting out my diet over the weekend and try and make it a bit more adequate for bulking.
I have two major problems as far as I see it, that being lunch and dinner.
If only i could find some relief from my knee issue, I would be so much happier, but there isn’t any. It has been bad enough this week for me to think, maybe the answer is just to go see a private consultant and see what a partial knee replacement would bring to the table. I.e. more mobility or less mobility...
For instance, if I can do what I can do now, but with less pain.... then it might be worth while.

The most important thing for me is to keep bloody going to the gym and making progress. There will be good days, there will be bad days, but with consistency I will make progress.
