    Hey. Hows everybody doing in here. Been away for a while. Had a bump in the road. Broke my right ring finger and tore the tendon in a football practice incident. For the past two months i have been wearing a huge splint down to my elbow. Had to surgically repair the finger and tendon...

    I always got great gains from 1-Andro so I figure Alpha will be even better. So I have begun getting in more than one day of training this week. I completed my usual Sunday DL workout. Which I will detail. And I completed a Bench and Tri session yesterday. Not easy to get motivated right...

    So Football season has beaten me up so far. Extremely long days, early mornings, late nights. I havn't done much training. I did manage my Sunday routine of Deadlifts this past sunday. My knee isn't in pain anymore but I havn't pushed it yet either. I am going to give it another week off...

    Just a little update in my knee. Talked to trainer at school. He checked it for possible tears but said he didn't feel anything that might be a tear. He recommended an MRI to be sure. It may be like I thought. Just remnants of my previously injured knee. He doesn't think it's scar...

    Warming up and lifting is t the problem. It is the pain and swelling afterward. I'm on a football field coaching. Tough with a banged up knee. It has been hell this week.

    Anything that causes the knee to bend to far seems to cause the pain.

    I'm going to try high box squats first because I don't want to stop squating. Still going to take a few weeks off first. Might just need rest.

    No leg press at home. If I decide to trudge to the Gym I will use the leg press. But with limited time during the season I want to train at home as much as possible. I might make time for one gym day per week to use the leg press.

    Was able to train some chest and back yesterday between practices and meetings. Quick, hard, an short... Like my sex life. My knee has been a big problem lately. Every time I squat it takes days and sometimes weeks to be able to squat again. The pain is most likely due to scar tissue from...

    Sorry for the lack of posting. Football season is in full go. Two a days are hectic. I have been getting my training in when I can. Add to that it has been 100+ everyday the last three weeks. It has been hard to train in the garage in the heat. I'm working on my plan of attack for the...

  15. Smitty's Summer Log

    My knee has built up scar tissue from past surgery. I have trouble flexing much past 90 degrees. And when I squat a bunch below paralell it gives me hell. The pain is behind my knee. I'm pretty sure I need to get it scoped again to clean it out.
