<p>Did a circuit today - Using short 10kg barbell with 10kg bumper plate on each end. Did 45 seconds each of clean and press, rows, front squat, deadlift and then pressups. Hadnt done this for a while and 4 times through stuff me good. 2mins rest between circuits</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finished with abs - weighted crunches, weighted side bends, hanging leg raises.</p> -
<p>So......my right knee......it's no good. Tried to squat this morning nothing but bad times. Gonna take things very easy on legs for the rest of the year. Maybe even go see someone about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Started with 5min ride then stretches and step-ups on to a bench. Felt good enough.</p>
<p>Squats - 10xbar, 10x60kg (bit sore), 6x90 (sore all the way through), 8x60kg.</p>

<p>EZ bar curls - 12x27kg, 12x32, 10x32.</p> -
<p>definitely go and see someone bro - even if they just tell you to rest it. If (worst case) you needed treatment then best to get it on record asap - ACC can be a pain to deal with!</p>

<p>Cardio and abs today. 30mins on cross trainer and then stretching and foam roller for legs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Abs work was bosu ball crunches, cable chops (3 sets of 12 per side), decline medicine ball twists (3sets of 12 per side), decline cross over crunches (3 sets of 12 per side) and reverse crunches (2 sets of 15)</p> -
<p>just a thought, based on my recent conversion to flats rather than runners for squats/deads etc. Are you squatting in your runners? Do you get the same pain if you are squatting barefoot? maybe that is worth a try? I was getting twisting through my ankles and knees due to the heel compressing. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Gonna take it easy through xmas and mainly cycle for cardio for now plus keep working the foam roller hard. He said I really need to warm it up and get in to working in over with the hardest roller I can handle. Will see him tomorrow when I do it.</p> -

<p>Managed to twinge the back a bit this morning while casually trying to free a jammed cable prior to starting upright rows. Didnt feel good so I took it pretty easy after this happened, maybe even should have stopped but dont think its too serious just a bit uncomfortable now.
