Things were not so happy this past week. Even though, I had resumed training, I was not doing the movement I absolutely love. Squat ! Last Saturday, I tried empty bar squats and still could feel a very mild discomfort on the top of knee. That and the fact that I had a lot of stuff to take care of, forced me to take 2 days off. I did and I guess it was the best thing to do. Today I felt almost 100% if not exactly 100%. I squatted 275 lbs for 2. It wasn't hard but also wasn't easy even though this is 55 lbs less than my 3 RM but I the important thing is that I am happy. Happy to be Squatting again !!

T+8days and still no Squatting !
It has been more than 9 days since my last squat ! And I only trained twice in the last 8 days. But in the same time, I have been working my ass off on trying to recover. Which basically means endure upto 8 sessions of icing for 20 minutes. I never believed much in the healing power of ice until now that I have seen it myself.
I can finally "see" my left knee ! I couldn't a few days ago since the swelling was so bad. The rate at which I am making recovery, I *should* be good to atleast start light squatting in 2-3 days !
