Notes
- My right knee was sore today because this past weekend I was stepping up and down a step ladder a million times (I was installing curtains. First time in my life installing curtains, and almost every time I stepped up, I forget tools, screws or something else, so I had to step down and find it, and then step back up. It was like a really bad aerobics step class). Because of this, I decided to do back squats instead of front squats, which, at least for me, is less stressful on the knees.
- Right knee felt fine after doing ass-to-grass low bar back squats.
Front Squat
Push Press
Pull Ups
- Body weight (190lbs): 12,7,7
Squat
Over Head Press
Notes
- Over head press seemed pretty easy. Maybe it's because I added push presses last week. I'm thinking the heavier weight used in the push press (225lbs) made it easier for me to handle a lighter weight (177.5lbs) during a strict overhead press.
