    Okay, may you shouldn't have posted that. Because now I'm jealous! Damn D, y'all had a shindig of epic proportions!

    Took today as an off day. Because of the weather it's taken me 3 days since Friday to finish my yard. Spent 4, maybe 5 hours pulling weeds and trimming bushes from the flowerbed yesterday which left me sick the rest of the afternoon. And still not done.

    Finished mowing this morning but still apparently under the weather because I got weak pretty quickly.

    It's gonna be an early night.

    Years from now, when I've everything paid off and I'm heading to Laguna Seca for some track time, I couldn't imagine a better pit stop than dinner and drinks with you, D. :)



    So, I've been having knee issues off and on for years. Seven months ago, I heard my latest "pop" while doing squats. I felt a searing sharp pain in my right knee, above and slightly to the left in relation to my kneecap. I stopped doing deadlifts and squats altogether.

    Four months ago I started my leg day with "Petersen Step-Ups". About four months in, I can say without a doubt, this has helped my knees tremendously. If you've knee issues, or just want to prevent yourself from having knee issues, I highly recommend this exercise.

    I highly recommend watching her do whatever the hell she wants to do.

    Thanks for posting the video and ruining any sort of productivity I had left for the day........been watching it on a loop and have no idea what he is talking about but completely agree with Scotty........

    Related: What has saved my knees was to not go past 110 degrees when doing leg extensions (assume 180 degrees completely extended, 90 degrees lower legs are pointing down) as going past 110 degrees will put way too much pressure on your knees..........

    ok - back to watching the video :)

    LOL

    Thank you for the heads up, Lukas. Leg extensions is where I started getting knee problems. Makes hella sense now.

    Going a lot slower on squats and deadlifts today. It's all I did for legs before I hit core. Did 12 second downs, explosive ups. Going to train like this for my next six leg days, then I'm switching it up to 6 second downs, 6 second ups, more in line with the Lukas way. I'll tell you one thing for sure... I felt like I owned that mfing gym when I walked out. We'll see what it does for hypertrophy. :)

    Today was a nice mix. 30 minute light cardiovascular this morning followed by a 45 minute bike ride.

    Got some time this week so it's been great.

    Today's workout was 15 minute run 15 break, 10 minute run 10 minute break, 5 minute run and a lengthy cool down. Once that settle a little hot tub to relax my muscles.

    I finally used my converse on leg day yesterday.

    Now I see why they're so popular. My first hack squat rep was noticeably different, more linear feeling. Same with the leg press.

    Strangely, I felt it harder to feel my calves contracting. But when I started walking to the locker room, my legs could barely hold me up. So maybe it did target them better.
