back to it
so i finally got the confidence back to try squatting heavy again. Earlier in 2006, i damaged my knee REALLY badly and couldn’t use it at all. Stupid thing is i didn’t even go to a doctor to have it looked at since i don’t have medical. i just found crutches and kept it in a brace. it took 8 months before i could jog at a steady pace again for a few minutes before it gave me any trouble. It still messes with here and there, but it can take some punishment. Then i chipped a bone in my ankle just before thanksgiving last year so needless to say, i’ve been out of the barbell squat for a good long time. i’ve just been doing hack squats and leg press machines, but today i decided to lay it on the table and try for it. I left high school hitting 370, so thats what i tried for today…no problems and i got the weight up relatively easily. No time to go heavier, plus my back is really giving me crap this morning (my bed really sucks). I’m just happy i’m good enough to head back into 100% good old raw squats. 370 for now, gonna try again soon and get a more accurate measure for my max. Wish me luck!
