Workouts Recovering From Knee Injury
« on: Jun 24, 2011, 11:56 AM »
I think I might have mentioned it once that I would try to post my workouts coming back from my knee issues.  This program starts towards the beginning of the year.  At the start I was doing Oly lifts but the knee started acting up again.  So I was told to drop to light intensity on Oly lifts so I opted to stick with focusing on getting my squat strength back and hopefully remove stress on my knee to get it to bounce back faster.  Following that I was cleared on the Oly lifts but keeping in mind starting moderate intensity and slowly increasing (only 2.5kg per week even if I was able to do more).

All weights are in pounds unless it is an Oly lift or pull which is in kilos

This section starts once I started back on Olympic lifts.  This will go up to recently, at one point in this section I get cleared with no more restrictions on weight.  Right now the knee is still not 100% but still no restriction.  I am to be mindful of it and if it starts getting sore for more than 2-3 days in a row I am to back off.  Sometimes when I had to Unload this was the case because of storeness.

Saturday was my first very challenging day coming back.  It was fun, snatch didn't go as well as I like but went well.  C&J just out right felt heavy so my jerks suffered.  Felt like the weight was making me revert back to my bad form.  I will post a video.

This week to sum up in one word was PISS.

WEEK #12 (6/27/11)------------------------------------------------------------------

WORKOUT #1 (Felt very lethargic)
Snatch  65x2  70x2  75x2-1  75x2-2  75x2-1  75x2-1
Cl. Pulls (3x3)  110 kgs
Back Squats 295x2  295x2  (275)

WORKOUT #2 (Felt very lethargic)
Bench  220#x2  230x2  240x2
Pull-ups (3x3)  35 lbs (-1 last set)
Shoulder Press  135#x3  140x3-1  145x3-3
Core

WORKOUT #3 (Felt better but still lethargic)
Cleans  90x2  95x2  100x2  100x2  100x2  100x2 (C&J on second rep)
Sn. Pulls (3x3)  82.5 kgs
RDL  225x3  225x3  225x3

Unsure the cause of feeling so misearble.  My 2 guesses are either still trying to rebound from last Saturday, that was a very difficult day; or (my main guess) we have had more camps outside so I am in warm, humid weather for about 2 extra hours of my day and my body is not accustomed to the heat since Wisconsin cannot decide if it wants to be hot or cold.  I think that just took a hit on me because I was uncharacteristically tired compared to last week.

WORKOUT #4
Back Squats 320#x2  320x2  320x2  320x2
Front Squats  280#x2  280x2  (245)
Core

WORKOUT #5 (rushed, stressed, no good bar)
Snatch  (actually got 77.5x1 for warm-up) 82.5x1-1  80x1-1  80x1-1
C&J  100x1  100x1  105x1-1 jerk  (110x1  110x1  110x1 DND out of time)

This day was complete and utter garbage and a waste of time.   Ok so here is what went down.  (Shaun I don't know how you keep your sanity out there at the fitness club.)  I go in to the fitness club I workout at on Saturdays to workout (gave myself 2 hours to get my workout done before my work shift at the club starts). I heat my knee, drink my drink, ride the bike to warm up, foam roll and go to "studio B" and do a warm-up set with the bar for snatch. I go to get my weights and lo and behold they are gone. I call my manger at the club and was like "where are all my bumpers" and he replies "we took them all over to Mequon (another club about 15 minutes away)." I asked why and he said for sport specific basketball and football camps. So I let him go because I have to rush up to Mequon now to do my workout.

This is where it gets good. On the way I call him and asked how long will they be up there so I know how many times I need to go there to workout. He was like September and then goes into this explanation about how he asked around (instead of just calling me of course) to see if I was using the bumpers for anything and everyone said I wasn't/no one was in my class. Except for the obvious fact #1 that he knew I used them for my own olympic weightlifting workouts but he has the right to move them because they are Elite's bumpers. Except for fact #2 I have a weightlifting class that uses them on Saturdays.

So BS point number 1, about a month ago the manager in charge of the cleaning staff made a huge deal about how I am training people for free in the studio without charging them. I informed my manager, in person that it fell under the realm of aerobics classes and informed and got approval of the aerobics manager prior to running the class; so there was no charge unless a non-member took the class. He said since there was no billing code that I wasn't using them. Which is utterly untrue since I told him about the class. BS point number 2, he knows I train in Olympic lifting so instead of at least infroming me of the move he just moved them without telling me.  BS point #3 basically everything Olympic weightlifting or use of the bumpers goes through me since the club bought them for me to utilize, so to not come to me is super shady.

So, anyway, I get to Mequon at 10 (I need to be back to my club at 11 for my shift/weightlifting class) have an entirely rushed and stressed workout that culminated in basially me only getting my warm-up sets. On top of that which made the workout worse is I didn't have time to take the weightlifting bar (pendlay) over there so I had to use a crap Mequon "squat bar" AKA the fat bars with basically no spin. So in essence I wasted my time running around and had a worthless workout.  I should have just went home.  Next week was supposed to be an unloading week, now I have no idea what to do because I do not want to end after such a crap week.  Perhaps I will treat next week as a regular training week and play it by ear on how I feel.

Andy, nice diary...

Do you mean you had 5 workouts in that one day?


It's quite frustrating when you work with idiots isn't? Especially when their in a position to call the shots..........

It is a 5 day a week split, M-Th and Sat, so that is the 5th workout for the week.  I do not put mon ect. each day in case the days need to be adjusted to a different day or 1 is dropped.

I stopped working out at that club for now. I have it still for a fall back but I talked to my boss at the HS and he said it was cool for me to workout there as long as I brought someone else.  Much better atmosphere and much less stress.
