It's Always Something...

So the quad has still been hurting, but definitely improving. I can jog with no problem, lifting my leg up/down/side to side doesn't hurt, and I can rep out on leg lifts (abs). I still feel a little stretch when I hit my squats, but nothing too bad. On leg day, I was fine squatting 240 (10 reps) for 4 sets. I was planning on going into front squats after, but right before my first set I dip below the bar and I feel this pain & burning in my left knee. I try a practice squat w/ no weight, and a pain like I've never felt before. The pain persisted after I came up into a standing position, and anything I tried bending my knee would hurt. No squats, hack squats, leg presses, leg extensions, etc. I hit stiff deads, adductors, abductors, and lying leg curls and got out.

The knee still hurts, more than the quad now. I am bracing it 24/7 so I have some compression on it, and have been icing on and off. Not much else I can do about it.

On the plus side I weighed in at 187.0 this morning. If I can just get healthy in the next couple/few weeks I'll have enough time to make a few adjustments before the competition. Only 8 weeks left!
