Knee isnt feeling better at all. This frustrates me dammit. Its been more than 3 months now. Going back to the doc I need to get this clear in my head.

 

[Anabolicus]

Sucks to hear about your knee bro. Hope it gets better. Still, nice session you had there.

 

[philosopher]

Thanks ana! It really sucks I can tell you that. Its been over 3 months now and i still cant squat properly

 

[Bulkboy]

im really sorry to hear about ur knee philo. sucks so bad when u want to lift, and something like that prevents u from it. i hope the doctor finds out whats wrong and is able to do something about it. anyways, i would stay away from anything that aggrevates the knee if i were u, could make things worse to put pressure on it.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Good session despite ur knee man, take care of it, u only got one man.

 

[Achilles]

Really sucks but be carefull. Like Prince said you only got one.

 

[philosopher]

Really sucks indeed but nothing I can do about it than just sit it out. But its taking too long now there must be something wrong otherwise it would slowy gets better. they already made X-rays and saw that the patella was broken but theres still a bump on it and the pain stays

for an "not so motivated" day, that was a good effort philo. u crushed the rep target, and should be pleased with the outcome

 

[Anabolicus]

Those MPs are really impressive!

 

[miamiracing]

good leg workout. nice to hear that your knee feels better

 

[philosopher]

Decided to stop using wendler for this year. My knee is bothering me too much! I'm going to give it some extra rest untill next year. Hopefully I will be better by than.

I'm gonna take this time to devote myself in getting some new bench pr's. I'm looking for some bench specialization routines. If anyone knows a good let me know. It really sucks but its better for my health I want to squat for at least 30 more years so better safe than sorry.

 

[miamiracing]

oh shit i misread, yea its better to take a break than seriously injuring something and being crippled for the rest of your life.

as far as strength goes, a lot of people had good success with a 5/3/1 routine, or a the russian power program. ben (freako) just posted recently a good cycle in the trainings section. i forgot the name but it looked very interesting.

[PrinceVegeta]

Solid session man, vraagje, you can still deadlift right? if not, u should consider rack pulls, help buff up that upperback, which would help with stabalizing in the bench and you would generate more power!

Yep but I wont do any LB movements before I get back from the physio. I need to get sure I dont mess things up. This injury is taking way too long to heal.
