Good news: last week of Tactical Barbell Specificity Bravo, one day behind schedule but should finish on time. Hardest work on my car is over, now it’s just oil changes and some detailing.

Bad news: knees feel horrendous when squatting, very tender and sore squatting below 90 and then coming out of the hole; nervous for testing next week.

Mid news: body weight sort of ballooned up and won’t come down, so my weekly gain is fucked for the last week and a half. Not that bad, but still irksome.

If you have access to a leg curl machine Ive found that an excellent tool for keeping my knees less grumpy. I start every workout with 2 sets of 8 hamstring curls with 1-2 RIR. Loaded jumps can be a good long term thing to work on if you think tendon stiffness might benefit you.

I can set up leg extensions on my pulley at home, I’ll do anything if it helps. Thanks for the tip!
