MOM's natty training log.

[ManOfMuscle]

Almost done with the god damn antibiotics. They're not allowing me to digest food as well as I usually do, so I feel a bit drained. The plan right now is to try out some dermacrine and also some digestive enzymes to get me moving in the right direction.

Knew I was going to be a complete bitch today after 10 hours of work on 4 hours sleep so I just supersetted everything.

I fucked up my left knee at work doing a front flip onto a giant pad (we're setting up for the olympic trials). It hurt to bend it for a couple hours, similar to how it feels when I tweak it lifting. I really really want to squat tomorrow, but I probably shouldn't. I'm just going to play it by ear.

Listen to your body bro

take it easy big boy, you can't lift injured

 

[ManOfMuscle]

I've lifted injured hundreds of times, it's all about how you work around your injuries. I understand what you guys are saying though, and thank you for the good advice.

it's just the weight you can squat...on a bad knee...i've seen vids of knees giving out

I'm not "pushing it" on the weight, that's why I'm going no belt no wraps, and working my way back up slowly.
