Keep trucking? Somehow this comes to mind... :lol:

 

Oh seriously swampling! :lol: I laughed until there were tears! I can't believe you know that song! :D

 

I was born and raised in Texas and that movie and song were one of my father's favorites. I remember seeing it multiple times as a kid. Wow, that brought back memories. :tongue:  

 

Hey, I kinda like the words. "We're gonna do what they say can't be done!"  :triumphant: :triumphant: :triumphant: :triumphant:

Thank you, guys, and good morning! :)

 

Another WTP day, and I'm sneaking up on those 5 x 8 negatives:

 

- warm up

- 3 x 8 + 2 x 7 negative chin-ups

- 2 x 2 side planks 30 sec

- W&W mobility

 

Also: 4 Half Get Ups on each side, so far. :encouragement:

 

I'll venture into the Big City soon, for my PT appointment. Wish me luck! :nightmare:

I was neither born nor raised in Texas, but I remember that movie from my childhood as well. :D

I love the song, especially that quote!

Thanks, Ash! I feel I'm going to need all the luck I can get for this.

 

Don't get me wrong, I really like my PT (AKA "The Drill Sergeant"), he's a great guy. But it doesn't mean that I'm keen on spending another year under his watchful eye.

Oh the PTs.  :playful:

 

PTs and dental hygienists are people who being thanked for bringing the pains to you.

If you are sadistic, that's the job to have.

Thanks!

 

Unfortunately, it turns out not to be just a mechanical block of some sort (as I had hoped), the knee joint works beautifully except for that friction and cracking.

The PT thinks the cartilage might be damaged, which means I get to see Doctor Moviestar next week (honestly, the man looks more the poster boy for plastic surgeons than an orthopedic specialist). Not looking forward to the appointment. :(

Good morning! :)

 

Until I know what's going on with the buggy knee, I've decided to adjust my workouts to put as little strain on that kneecap as possible while still doing something useful. So I've replaced the potentially knee-unfriendly parts from the warm up (rocking, crawling) with half TGUs (two birds, one stone, eh?), and I'll stick to two-legged squats instead of the one-legged variety for the time being.

 

Today's workout ended up like this:

- warm up (cross-crawls, rolling, 6 half Get Ups on each side)

- 3 x 7 inverted rows (1 sec pause)

- 3 x 14 two-legged squats slightly below parallel

- 3 x 7 incline push-ups (hands slightly lower than knee height)

- 3 x 7 one-legged Romanian Deadlifts, phone book held overhead, 2 sec pauses

 

Have a fantastic Friday, everyone! :triumphant:

Making adjustments on the fly is mandatory once something like that happens.  Just be careful you don't favor one side more than the other- because then you risk the chance of aggrivating the opposite side.

 

Thanks for the necessary reminder! I admit it's very hard not to - I occasionally catch myself doing something stupid like that. Nothing huge, usually, just a little tweak here and there, and voilà: lopsided Swampling. :rolleyes:

Hopefully I'll make it to yoga class this evening - my first one for this year! :tranquillity:
