Good news. Back feels ok.

Bad news. Knee does not. I'm so pissed at myself. I KNOW its from being careless Thursday.

Anyway, went to workout last night and knee felt ok during jogging warmups but when I tried some very submax jumps I'm getting a sharp pain just above my kneecap (left knee). Body weight squats, walking and normal movement is no problem. No pain during light stretching either, only when its 'loaded' per se. So I iced it as a precaution and am going to take a week off and try it again. If it's still hurting I'll make an appointment with a doc. This sucks.

I did do some core work...

If I remember Friday I'll try to get someone to take some on my phone. 

I forgot to update with Saturdays workout.

BW: 172-174lbs.
Had good energy, decent rest previous night so body felt good as well.

warmups+jumps

Deadlifts:
(Warmups) 225x3 275x2 315x1 345x1. I felt like I hadn't deadlifted in forever so I expected the 345 to be much harder but it almost felt easy. Weird.
(Worksets) 315x5 x5, x5 225x8. Felt a pain in my right lat area on last set of 315s. Dropped weight for safety and to get some more volume.

Jumpsquats:
50lbs x3, x3, x3. Each set supersetted with 2x BW jumps.

Ham curls:
140lbs x8, x8, x7, 60lbs x12.

KB swings:
45lbs x10, x10.

Upperbody was chest/tris and core stability.  Finished with a typical shoot around.

Woke up Sunday with severe discomfort where my right lat comes into my mid back area, not sure what happened in the deadlifts but it hurts lol! Skipped doing squats/back work yesterday (monday) as a precaution. There's no pain there now but it is sore. I may attempt some light deadlifts tonight to test it. Definitely going to focus on keeping tension in that area, I may have let the weight down a little quickly Sat. We'll see.

I've seen this clip a hundred times and every time it makes me laugh. Laugh at every fool who says players from those days were unathletic, slow, ground bound, set shot shooting scrubs. Name one center in the NBA today that could do what Russell just did? There isn't one.

I swear this was posted already? Still cool lol!

Tis. Can't fall in love too much, gotta keep getting stronger as well!

Right. The more I think about it the more I believe it very well may have overloaded me. I don't really pay attention to how much it is when I'm in the gym...I just knew 405 felt easy-ish lol! Will definitely do some quick calcs next session and keep top lift down near 2x BW and see how it works. Thanks for pointing that out Vag!

BW @ 172-175lbs. (Lower abs look like crap tho, gotta clean up diet a little more lately)
Energy....well it started off good. Serious CNS crash partway through workout.

Warmup+jumps

Squats:
(warmups) 225x3 275x2 315x2 365x1 405x1 425x1
(Worksets) 335x5 x5, x5 x5 225x3(speed/jump squat almost)

Paused calf raises:
640lbs x8, x8, x7 450lbs x14 superset (and begin crash...)

Hypers:
25lb x12, x12, BW x12

Some lunges.

Did half my back/bicep/shoulder circuit and 75% off normal core work. Quit when I just couldn't 'function'. I felt fine but my coordination was off, body wasn't 'responding' the way it normally does, I just felt fried. Got increasingly pissed off  at myself and raged out on a punching bag for 15 mins. Felt good even if it didn't 'help' lol! Went and shot around 15 mins, handle sucked, jumper sucked.  Guess this happens every once in awhile. I'm going tonforget about it unless it happens again tonight. Bah.
