It just appears to be a gradual thing. i think there is possibly some imbalance in the muscle around the knee, either caused by the way i train or possibly because i'm a bit fo a flid. Either way the physio has suggested some stretches to do on a permanent basis to hopefully ward off any further occurences, plus suggested a few leg extensions be done on a regular basis too | ||

LOL, i didnt get that when i watched this comedy, bet he wasnt an aggressive cleaner | ||

"Possessing spasticity" was very hip at the time. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 29/09/08 Knee has been feeling better over the weekend, less clicking up and downstairs, and i even did a spot of hopping on it yesterday Off to Adlington with hope in my heart for a breakthrough!!! Bar x plenty, some full clean and jerks 50 x1 50 x1 not a happy bunny, movement feels weird, worrying about the knee, generally poo 50 x1 as above Not as much progress in the knee as i'd hoped  Power Clean 70 x3 70 x3 90 x3 100 x2 head went before even attempting number 3,  100 x2 as above. Worrying about the knee popping too much. Head gone, time to sit down, sulk, and decide what to do!!! 100 x3 decision was to get the f**k on with it and not be a flid (aka Joey) 110 x3 not too bad, not great but not bad 120 x3 better, still poor but at least i'm not fixating on the knee. Wise words from LittleA put it into perspective "Movement was a bit spastic but didnt look heavy, you've not lost as much as you think" 130 x1 relatively decent considering, allowing for temporary spasticity of course  Felt better by the end of these. Shows that the Oly stuff will come back whenever i want it and i feel fit enough. Plan now is to forget about the Oly stuff and just pull and squat the next couple of weeks... Squat 70 x5 70 x5 115 x3 145 x3 145 x3 145 x3 145 x3 Would've been 5 threes but as i went on i could feel myself squatting more and more one-legged favouring the knee. Ah well, not as much progress as i'd hoped, but definitely moving in the right direction still, what's another week for a good knee | ||

I doubt you've ever pulled those weights higher. When you're happy again you'll be rocking. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Cheers Rick Wednesday 02/10/08 Knee has been feeling better this week, day to day, Monday was pleasing, was hoping for miracles tonight, didnt get them but still improvement. First time i've been able to put any sort of drive into it from the floor. Sticking to the plan, pulls tonight. But not before: Bar x a good few, clean and jerk, just to move my weary joints somewhat Clean Pul 60 x5 100 x3 130 x3 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 160 x3 170 x3 180 x3 Plenty of work, knee stood up to it well, still not firing 100% but we're getting there... Press Not really worth talking about, very poor tonight, i think i've gone off them 50 x5 50 x5 70 x5 80 x5 90 x3 90 x3 80 x5 80 x3 couldnt be arsed And that was that. Current estimation is another fortnight and we should be back in the game, it's been a fairly long haul (it will have been 8 weeks by then) but at my advancing age i suppose recovery can take longer... Bollox talking as usual, and then a very pleasant trip to the local for a slap up 3 course meal for £6.50, quality food, quality company, and a plan was hatched for an Adlington Summer Extravaganza!!! | ||
