Paused bench 275 4x6
CGBP 315 2x2
KB row 88 5x10

I've lost my identity. I'm not really training. Just going through motions and feebly trying to stave off atrophy/death.

No. For a true example of this, see my training.

I trained last Friday. To the best of my memory...

Bench (paused) 275x5, 295x5
CGBP 245x10
Pullups 3x10
Press 95 3x15


Yesterday

SLDL 315 3x5
Regular deadlift 155 3x5
BW squats to a bench (somewhat painful but no damage done) 4x10
Sled walk 40 yards x 5
CGBP 315 3x3
Pullups 3x10

--At least I got to throw 315 on a pull yesterday. Dr. Petrizzo told me it's past time to start strengthening my quad, even if my doc wants to continue being conservative. So I started in with some light deadlifts after the stiff legs as well as some partial BW squats. I go back to the surgeon this afternoon.

Good to see everything went well yesterday, Kyle.

Good to see everything went well yesterday, Kyle.

I got my op report from the surgeon yesterday, but there was really nothing interesting about it. Don't have it in front of me right now, but it was noted that I had a near full thickness quad tear, they drilled 3 holes in the patella, used a couple of implant anchors, and sewed it up. The doc told me I could start actively extending the knee, deadlifting, and doing light presses. No weighted squats at least until I return in 6 weeks.

A bunch of young lifters were in the gym today, some of them pretty good. They all come up to me and shake my hand and tell me they barely recognize me and introduce me to guys who don't know me by saying things like this guy used to be a freak. Makes me want to vomit.
