Braaq's Training Log

Yet another great session bro.DB presses are awesome

 

[Rocky]

For fuck's sake - those presses are just out of this world. I look at the numbers and just shake my head with incredulity. Truly mighty strength my man.

 

[Braaq]

Ok, I had knee surgery when I was 18 on my left knee. I have not had any problems since the surgery until now. When I was doing my front squats I started to get a pain in my left knee on the lateral, superior area of my Patella. It seems to be posterior (slightly under) to my patella which is making me think maybe I strained a ligament or tendon. Only time will tell, and it depends on how I wake up tomorrow. Im freaking out right now

Thanks for the concern buddy , my knee cracked really loud now the pain is just a soreness instead of acute pain.

Killer session bro.About those wraps braaq..Do you use them only in your heaviest sets or do you need them earlier?Hope everything is ok with your knees.

Heaviest sets only... it feels a bit better but I did damage some soft tissue I am sure so I will take it easy for a few weeks. 315 is not even that heavy.. figures I hurt myself like Vic Martinez did on light weight...

 

[Lionheart]

Yeah better take it easier bro.

 

[Daniel Andersson]

Is I said before.. I just hope its a bad strain. And that it will feel better by the day

Leaving legs for a few weeks will do you good bra. Heavy front squat weight, even if you don't think so I can never do them myself, can't get the weight comfortable. Good to see you do an equal amount of hamstring work to, I hate it when people will do 2 or 3 quad exercises and 1 hammie exercise

 

[Flex]

Those front squats are impressive, to say the least.

Thanks bro, I look at hams and quads as seperate bodyparts. My knee is feeling a bit better, just sore right now... but Im ready for the next leg day! I dont worry about pain, as long as its not an actual injury Im fine! In fact, I feel ready to go already! Thanks for the props bro, but I refuse to leave legs for a few. Unless my leg is gone, I love legs and to not be able to train them is my worst fear. Ill hit it no matter what.

Edit: I was really drunk while typing this

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Rest up the knee and give it your all my friend as long as u dont feel any accute pain u should be fine!!

 

[Maxmonzter]

hardcore and heavy is your name buddy. insane to pulltrough that set. i hope everything work well for you buddy. very good session

 

[PrizeFighteR]

those front squats are really out of this word braaq..but then again I guess all your lifts could be put into the same group

 

[Hypocrisy86]

your a strong mofo both in strength and punishment endurance braaq!
i hope the soreness is gone, and you hit those quads again soon..
still those front squats are very impressive, no way could i even hold 90lbs in front of me like that.. i envy you!! LOL

if I was a religious man this is the part where I'd say "jesus christ "

but instead I'll just say OMDISHI FUJITA AHH

take care of your knee, but don't immobilize it entirely. Some light extensions and bodyweight squats might do it some good

Yeah that was pretty heavy, my knees felt a little sore after that set (wonder why )
That is what I was thinking too, gonna take it light this week and try to help strengthen it instead of demolish it. Thanks for stopping by buddy
