The Do You Work Out Zone

Knee continues to improve as far as the weight it can handle without feeling like the side of my knee is going to tear open and spurt firey lava lol. Did leg day yesterday instead of Wednesday since Wednesday was crazy and could only fit in a quick grip/forearm workout.

Managed 10 reps at 175 lbs on the leg extension(plan to hit 190/205 next week if the acursed knee continues to improve) with only slight discomfort (weird few seconds post-workout when I was walking and suddenly had an intense shooting pain on the inside of my knee, but it quickly disappeared...don't know what that was about), 390 on the leg press with little discomfort (wide stance to try to hit the inner quad more), 210 deadlift with no discomfort (but the right quad around the knee seemed to fatigue very quickly) and can definitely safely increase that one a fair bit next week.

Jumping lunges were a no-go past 6 reps since had sudden feeling of having hyperextended the right knee, which did not feel fun. However, I did do my lunges fairly late in the workout (I usually do them first or second), so probably due to the right leg being easily fatigued in comparison to the left. Did backward lunges instead. Finished off with calf raises at 290. I feel like my numbers are all out of wack because of this, and I can't wait for them to get back into balance. Hip/hamstring flexibility still = fail.

Either way, this week really continued to increase my confidence that I'll be able to return to full lower body strength by X-mas, therefore, Ender = a happy boy

Thus ends the shitty knee report lol
