Spin Bike-
Did 1 hard interval and had some lateral knee pain. Not in the usual area. Needless to say I stopped this.

Who needs DB incline bench when you're PR'ing everything in sight.

Squat looks solid.

Btw, may look a little odd but why not take a take measure to the gym and measure the point you jumped to?

I got a call from the police today and they said the man is now in a stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. He doesn't want to press charges or pursue any legal action so it's the end of the matter. I'm going to use this as a lesson to remain calm in the future because life is precious and I've worked to hard in my life just to throw it all away with some poor choices.

Mate glad this one worked out. Can imagine it would have been a pretty full on week for you.

Great lesson to take out of it.

Yeah I felt terrible. I'm relieved it's over and he's okay.

I can imagine. Good on you for your actions though. Takes a lot to think clearly in a time of need.

Hanging to see the sports doc already. Still have to wait another 12 days.

Speaking to a physio client of mine and she was giving me some good points of advice on meniscus tears and surgery (my biggest fear). Apparently there's some decent literature coming out around unnecessary scopes for meniscus tears in younger athletes leading to osteoarthritis. The trend is to focus on the muscles around the knee and strengthening the hips. Fingers crossed this is the way I get to go.

Cheers. I will.
I am guilty of checking the same 5-6 logs when I check in here.

Current plan is to get some upper body volume going on, actually do some core work and keep myself from going crazy.
Training 5 days a week doing - Back, Chest, Back, Chest, Shoulders, (arms done respectively on back and chest days)
Doing more volume for first 2 weeks, then more strength focus for 2 weeks. Rinse and repeat.
Alternating leg extensions and leg curls each session. Also need to do hard spin bike intervals (50 rpm) so doing those every 2nd day.

I have never prioritised upper body, especially chest, so I guess now is as good a time as any to do it. Already noticing a difference which is great.

Hoping to get some good news on the knee in 2 weeks and resume leg training but aware that I might have to wait a bit longer than that.

And....I'm back. That was a long absence 

Have checked in on some logs every now and then and one thing struck me which was the power of community is greater than going it alone. This came through clearly in Chris's log. I've been struggling with things lately (physical things) but that's nothing compared to what Chris is going through.

Anyway, I'm seeing a sports physician in 2 weeks about my knee. On the advice of my physio I'm off all load bearing exercises (closed chain) and free do to open chain ones. Basically anything that doesn't involve putting load through my leg whilst my foot is on the ground.

I've taken the opportunity to try and focus on getting some upper body size. I thought this would be a great time to be getting "jacked". Finding it extremely difficult to get motivation and momentum together though. Training just isn't as fun without squatting and deadlifting. Anyway, I'm doing some bro/brah training at the moment and fingers crossed I get the nod to get back to training without surgical intervention.
