My knee felt ok squatting but I noticed that putting the knee sleeve on the left leg was tight!  So there's been some swelling going on, but nothing compared to this morning!  Big difference between left and right tree stump ;)  Put the heating pad on the back of my knee last night with warmed castor oil but it didn't seem to do much.  Ice pack wrapped around it on my drive into work this morning.

It hurts.  I'm limping.  Sad face.  Tomorrow is heavy deadlifts, but that shouldn't bother it.  We'll see what Friday feels like and if pause squats will be a go or not.

Training

A) Treadmill - 5 min
B) Mobility - 5 min
C) Bench - bar x 10; bar x 5; 35kg x 8; 42.5kg x 5; 47.5kg x 3; 52.5 x 5, 52.5x5, 52.5x5
D) Bench - 2 board - 62.5 x2, 62.5 x 2, 62.5 x 2, 62.5 x 2
E) Bench - 3 board - 67.5 x 2, 70 x 2
F) - DB rows - 42.5 x 3 x10
G) Treadmill - 5 min



Bench felt really good.  Went wide grip for the 1st set of 52.5 and felt a little bit of shoulder issues, so moved in a finger for the 2nd set and back to wide for the last as I was videoing and wanted to see how I did "under pressure".  2 board was easy.  I should have upped the weight for the last 2 sets at least, but will know better next week if they are programmed again.  3 board - went for 70 to see how it felt in my hands.  Very cool.  Yep, it was heavier but that's good for the CNS.  That's the goal lift for nationals!

Out of my element training in the garage but distraction is good.  Took 2 minutes between sets.  Despite my daughter thinking otherwise, I did not feel "badass" training in the garage while all the moms walked their dogs or their kids.... ;)  I did however set off a few car alarms in the ritzy sissy cars on the street!!

...they should be afraid.... ;)
