The 250 x 3 felt fairly hard, probably as hard as 265 x 3 did two weeks ago so may need to lower my expectations for next weekend. | ||

Remove half your meniscus from your knee and see how you like "raw" squats  Not sure. Depends if I compete in Arnold Classic or not! If I am doing then very soon, every week until March... | ||
