Knee is still bothering me. Mostly it's achy when I wake up. I can feel it when I'm exercising as well, but it's hard to tell if that's because of discomfort or because I'm hyper-aware of it. Anyway, it's time to get back to work, so we'll just have to see.
225X10 is solid I believe while being scared of the knee. 14 reps is my all-time best with this weight.
I was only supposed to do 3 sets of DB Bench. Oh, well.
Playing around with the complexes to see what feels right. I'd originally programmed for 5 sets; increasing the reps per set every week. But 5 sets of 2 here was just nothing, so I kept going until I felt worked and that was 14 sets.
* Strict OHP is the weak link in this chain, and I have to keep the weight down to be able to do it. But the RDLs and Rows just felt ridiculous, and the High-Pulls weren't much harder. After about 10 sets, I started pulling the RDL's with one-arm and switched from Rows to Cheat Curls. I'll try this from the top next week.
