Fuck squats anyway, just fuck them. Knee hurt enough on the 2nd rep of the 3rd set that i had to rack the bar. Tried another set and just about got to 4 before i had to rack again. The fact that the pain subsided enough to allow me to squat after a few minutes proves its just a mild inflamation. I feel like doing less sets would be benefitial because i could get the work done quicker ie 5/3/1. Sets across just fucking kill my squat and any chance i have of progressing and keeping good form.
Bench was just shit aswell. I shouldnt have even done it, i just got greedy and wanted to get 67×6 so i could move onto 70. Maybe i was depressed after the failed squats. Recorded it aswell but since its not a PB im not gonna bother uploading it. Instead i move onto close grip. Did 50×1, 55×1 and then 60×5 which is very much a PB. My close grip is about a hands width in closer than my wide grip, which is pinky finger on the ring. Then did back off sets and it turns out 50×10 is also a PB because last week i got 9 when i thought i got 10.
Deadlfts went well enough. After such shitty squat and regular bench i wanted to PB in at least 1 of the major movements. Video below. Form felt a lot worst than it looks, specifically my back. Looking at the video, my stance seems an inch or two wider than it needs to be. Recorded 60×27 aswell if anyone is interested..which puts my max DL at 83kg lol. Anyway…
Press, nothing of note here other than done with fat grips and the very last rep wouldnt lock out so i kind of push pressed it when i got stuck about 3/4ths of the way up. Dont flame me, bro. This might also be a PB, with fat gripz obviously. Finished with 3×20 DB rows using straps. This workout turned out to be almost like cardio. I was absolutely exhausted after both deadlift sets and the rows aswell. Now i know why most serious crossfitters have no fat..semi srs.
Dude… if your knee is in pain every fucking time you squat, you gotta DO something about it, rather than just “push” though it. Seriously. How high do you think your squat is gonna get if every goddamn time you experience actual pain while squatting? Something is wrong. Sort it out.
Also, it sounds like your general conditioning is shit. 20 reps DB Rows and your heart rate is up?!… I remember reading that you almost passed out after 10 reps on DL… do some cardio ffs.
Seriously. Stop fucking squatting if your knee is in genuine pain while doing so. If an exercise is causing you more pain than benefit, stop it until you can figure out what’s wrong. Seek advice. Sort it out. Repair. Then maybe start squatting again. Nagging is pain isn’t going to allow you to get anywhere. Gahdamit, this shit is basic.
lol yeah good points. My knee only hurts at the time, its fine then after a few minutes. I will see about a doctor appointment though.
I would cardio but its boring. I’ll do some complexes
