So today was leg day and I squatted for the first time since my last knee surgery. Which was a year and half ago I know I could have gone back sooner but after having to have the 2nd knee surgery because I went back to early after the 1st had me leery. I was still doing leg day for the last 6 months but just machine work and started dead lifting again about a month ago. I am super happy cause I had no knee pain at all and still squatted up to 5x245 with no issues. I know that's nothing compared to Erick and most of you guys but still happy

 

congrats man that must have been seriously scary my dad has had knee surgeries and its something I hope I never have to do

 

Yeah i obviously started with super low weight 135lb lol and worked my way up to 245 but I can already tell I'm gonna be super sore tomorrow. Aint no burn like a deep squat burn

 

yeah for sure. those are what make me fall when I try and get off the shitter.

 

Yeah I waited 6 months after my first surgery and went back to playing football senior year of high school and tore the patella tendon again 2 games into the season. So after the second surgery I was in no hurry to do anything straining on my knee. And that's how I got fat

 

I had a donut, bacon, burger for lunch. There are no words.
see my IG for pics.

 

seriously????? Maybe its just me but that doesn't sound good at all??? ditch the donut for a bun and I'm all over it hahaha That would be like putting skittles in a breakfast burrito

 

It was a lot better than I anticipated. So much perfect. I even dipped it in syrup.

 

They had them at the la county fair this year, but I didn't try it. Kind of seems like the combo that doesent sound or look very good but is probably delicious. Especially if it had an egg on it

And for anyone without IG

 

Do you guys ever feel pain or discomfort in your elbow/joint area after lifting weights?

 

When I first started lifting 5x a week my elbows would always be the first thing to give out fatigue wise. But it went away after a few weeks of lifting. Now my shoulder bothers me very once in awhile though

 

I cant do butterfly with dumbbells because of my shoulder, unless I go low low weight don't know why but its been like that for a long time

 

Always after bench, incline, or military press.

Taking fish oils and glucosamine helped alleviate it somewhat, but its still there.

 

Oh ok. I've been working out at the gym for about 1 1/2 months now(before that I did free weights at home. I've been doing certain exercises to build up my forarms and I think it's contributing to the tingling sensation in my hands and possibly the elbow discomfort. I do something like this with dumbbells, but, I rest my arm on my leg at a declined angle and hang my wrist & part of my arm off my leg.

 

I used a bar and let my arms hang and did that. Love that crazy vein in the forum hahaha

 

I love watching my forearms get bigger & dig all those veins popping out as well! heh

 

Good to know. I think it's time for me to start taking glucosamine and chondroitin again. I'll look into fish oils as well.
