Do you think it is a good idea to squat 5 times a week considering your recent knee issues.

strong question. seems like a lot of frequency to jump into.

^nah, it's fine a couple of inches below the wrist but beyond that it's not easy to tell or gauge progress .. plus no one wants to jump up and touch a target with their forearm, that's dumb.

lol check your journal.

why does BSS make your groin tight? for me it's a loosener.

lol florida is flat as shit.

ESPN 30 for 30 is great. also the OJ documentary is epic.

but yeah the talking head shows are infuriating. even kornheiser and wilbon, who i loved at first because they were the washington post columnists when i was growing up, are just irritating now.

long trips in cars, planes, buses -- anything that forces me into a fixed, seated position -- are problematic. specifically, if i can't move my right knee around it gets uncomfortable (although not stiff) and stays that way for hours or even days if the trip is particularly long. that's why even being sedentary at a desk job or on my couch isn't as bad: i can get up and walk around/extend the leg at will.

i can see how a really long walk could hurt. still, i took a leisurely and medium distance (~3.5 miles) walk yesterday and don't think that is problematic. but a really long walk is sneaky fatiguing. and extended standing/slow walking, like a trip to a museum, can also induce knee discomfort.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none (!)
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 10-12
both better and worse than saturday. wasn't getting as high -- residual fatigue from the squats and all the time in the car yesterday i think -- but approaches were much more aggressive. that is what it's supposed to feel like.

- SLRVJ x 5/leg
got up really good on a couple (for me), ~31 range. inconsistent, but as with the DLRVJ at least a couple of these were reasonably aggressive and fast. improvement.

- MB OH toss x 5,5

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- RDL 185 x 10,10

- DB press 40s x 8,8
very strict, dead stop

- DB row 80 x 10,8/arm
DB touches ribs on each rep but i should drop the weight a little and get even fuller ROM like kf

- leg lowers x 20,20

- stretch

okay workout. it's beautiful outside, will probably take a longish walk after lunch.
