Holy shit!!! What a fight. Say what you want about Conor but he's an amazing fighter.

guh that sux about the knee pain.. you think it's from squatting or just training in general?

I actually overstretched my quad yesterday and made my patella tendon insertion bug out for a few hours then it just disappeared.. luckily. so easy to wreck ourselves.

making so much progress on squat - looking like you will hit all of your goals in december.

I think the knee is a combination of too much volume and too little taking care if myself outside the gym. I may have hyperextended it at some stage too.

Yeah its looking promising. Just need to do some more work to keep the body loose and I should be fine.

Loving the goals, cues, theories, etc in your log. Good reminders.

On the goals front, how's the getting up at 5am one working for you? The reason I ask is it's a goal of mine. One that I met regularly last year but have been unable to get my head around this year for some reason.

Bodyweight- 93kgs

10 mins hip opening stretches and playing around in bottom of squat to relieve the knees. Worked pretty well.

Squats-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 90 x 3, 115 x 1
belted- 135 x 4  , 122.5 x 7, 7 
*Edit- forgot to mention these are rep PRs. The 135 is officially the most I have ever squatted for more than 1 rep.

Hip Thrust-
Did not do. Had no juice after squats

Decline leg raise-
bw x 8, 8, 8

Inverted Row-
bw x 10, 8

DB overhead press-
10kgs x 10, 10

Jefferson Curls- 2x5@10kg

Hanging- 1x60s

Front split rear knee taps- 1x10 each side

Legs were tight AF all day today. Loosened up nicely after the hip openers and some time in the bottom of the squat. Squats felt good and had additional ROM without even trying. The sets of 7 are hard!!!!! It feels fantastic but I have to sit for a minute after each set to catch my breath.

Went slowly on the upper body stuff. Stopped the inverted rows once I felt the left scap winging and even on the DB presses I still felt the left shoulder a little. Get the scan results tomorrow morning so will see what, if anything, comes from that.

another aborted workout, i almost went for a 150kg single but put it back, my heart and mind were absent. Im taking this week pretty hard, think events from last week have drained me. I dont know how you even deal with that situation, im putting training on the back burner, think i will opt out of bball games for a while too. will post back if i get my mojo back

Hey mate. Sorry to see you're dealing with shit again. Certainly makes it hard.

Is there anyway to get more light and shade to your training? It seems like it's a bit all or nothing. Try and keep your toe in the water so you don't slide back to far. Your mojo is probably closer than you think

Bodyweight of exactly 93 this morning. Going to revise my sub 90 goal to Christmas time. That gives me 6-7 weeks so 0.5kg per week. Don't want to fuck up my current momentum by doing something stupid.

Also, right forearm is pretty bad right now. Note to self, no deadlifting till it's better.

Bw - 93

SMR,  stretching, dynamic warm up

Squats
Bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 5,
Belted - 120 x 3, 142.5 x 1

Deadlifts
60 x 5, 100 x 5, 120 x 3, 130 x 1

Decline ab curl
10 x 15, 15

Push press
40 x 3, 3

Squats felt great. Warm up definitely helped.
Deadlifts were shit. Forearm and wrist is strained from hitting it on rim last week. Swollen and killing me. Used straps above 120 but just didn't work. 130 was ridiculously hard.

Push press no good either. Shoulder is hit and miss. Getting an x-ray and ultrasound on Friday just to rule out anything more sinister.

Still need to do more work on food intake and more mobility type stuff.

Planning to slow the progress on the squats to aim for 150 at end of November and fingers crossed 160 by the end of the year.

Mate that windmill at 33s was sick!

Also you jump and land so quietly. not sure if noise is lost in translation but super quite. Damn.
