Pat G Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 blobby on the bottom indeedspent 15+ minutes going up and down our stairwell. 9 flights of 9 stairs, not too sure how many times up and down.

aj_rock Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I need to keep a Pat dictionary to understand some of the things you say.Shonky. Skadoosh. Blobby.Actually, I feel most of those terms could be placed in a Batman comic as sound effects and not look entirely amiss. Quote Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment

Pat G Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Back in the gym after a 5 week hiatus.I thought the smile woudln't be wiped off my face till i got home, but... just dealing with a foolish customer has dented that slightly.SQUATSsets of 5 @: 20kg, 30kg, 40kg, 50kg, 60kg, 70kg, 80kgPoints of interest: - Lifted with orthodics in my shoes today, made to stop my feet therefore my ankles rolling in, seemed to work quite well. - Internally Shouting "KNEES OUT, KNEES OUT, KNEES OUT" helped. - Unless i concentrate ridiculously hard on it, my feet end up at a wider angle than when i start, and my left foot will be further angled than the right. Figure that one out. While that weight is a full 30kgs under where i was prior to re-exploding my knee. I'm satisfied with what i got out today.Bit tender now i've cooled down, but no pain. Also, if anyone knows if i should be icing it after training, let me know. *FIST PUMP*Then OHP, Pendlay Rows @60kg: 5Limited both to 1 set as was struggling for form on my rows, not because of any weakness other than my legs and glutes were shaking from the earlier workload. Bench: @80kg: 5, 8stretching, hip flexors, hamstrings, gluteals Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

70Kel Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Good to hear you are back lifting:)No expert, but I have known lots of people with knee rebuilds/ops where they ice their knees after playing hockey but only if the knee has swelled up/painful & swelling seems to be very common post op. Not sure if ice would help for just tenderness though...Funny, even though I'm a novice re:lifting I could really relate to your knees out scenario!

Pat G Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Everyone should be thinking knees out! Staple a sign to the wall infront of the squat rack to remind everyone else as well. Not icing my knee yet, squatting, thankfully is low impact. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

Lachy Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Havana deal, winner gets a Cuban cigar You what? 90KG working weight on the bench? You crazy! Who are you? Wildross with a bench bigger than your squat? Also, 5KG is a big jump on bench, why not 2.5KG like us mortals?How are knees out coming into play on the PCs? On the landing of the jump to get under? Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Pat G Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I wouldn't have the faintest where to get you a decent cigar from, but next time i'm near you i'll buy you a beer or 2. Haha, maybe only 2.5kgs each time. Rusty. No i'm not wildross, i can't handle his volume of work. Cleans, knees hurting just in general, wasn't thinking knees out at all, ankles were probably rolled in a bit as well while i was only thinking about bar path and racking it properly.

Lachy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Cigars are available in bottle shops, tabaconists (sp?), but I don't actually smoke 'em. I'll take you up on your beer offer though!Careful with those knees boy; slow, steady and safe is how I want your progress! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
