Long day at work...a lot of time driving. Only 2 meals before workout and did not have time to squat. Better to have touched the bar today than to have missed a workout.

[stephan marcella]

Clean and Jerk portion of the workout was a smoker. We should have gone heavier on the snatch. Trying to stick with a new program but family visitors and work have a way of getting in the way.

[stephan marcella]

Tested the waters with my left knee and squatting. Stayed conservative with 5 x 3 @ 70% of what I was doing for 5 x 5 over 3 weeks ago. Knee felt ok during sets, but became extremely stiff with slight pain when extended (either weight bearing or no weight). Iced after roll and stretching.
