Training from earlier in the week....
The knee has gone bonkers since my last squat day. It's ginormous, looks like my bursa is going to burst wide open like a giant pimple. Every motion and movement has once again become very painful. That's my sign to get back on track and do my rehab program faithfully.

360 -2x2 This was my target weight at 80% for 6x2 and I was forced to back down since the knee wasn't feeling too hot. I hate that. Tried to get some GHR in but I was not able to even get into position with the pressure on my knee.

I was trying something out on these and for each rep I held it for a mental count of five. It didn't fry me like I was hoping it might.

As you can tell, I did not compete at the LA FitExpo. I am not completely sure on my next competition. I received an invite for the 2015 Arnold Classic Mas Wrestling Cup a few weeks ago. I am trying to determine if it is possible to make the trip although my heart is in competing.
Once we opened our facility a few years back, my life as a competitor changed. At the time I had no idea the changes I was facing. Not only has my own training been dramatically impacted in terms of accessibility and scheduling, my ability to travel to competitions has also been significantly impaired. I struggle with these things because first and foremost I want to train like I used to which is basically whenever I wanted and could walk out the door into our home gym. Competing was always on my terms and what I wanted to do and when. At the end of the day it is an excellent problem to have.
