Knee went back in today. It's been "out", or subluxed for the last two days. Not a lot of fun but now it's in and I can walk again. Too much kb dragging I'm afraid and I think the grip limitations of farmers,rack and waiters walks are a good thing. Too much direct work on the leg right now and its hard to know where the edge is when it feels so good when I am doing it.
The problem is not doing the workout, but surviving it,lol.
That's a problem with trying to rehab a limb with a structurally bad joint. If the muscles get too tight,even "good" tight, it tends to pull things in the wrong direction. Have to settle for being less strong and more mobile. Walking is good.Pain is boring.Knee pain anyway.
Going to use the two handed swing as a warmup for tomorrow snatch workout. The early start on Saturdays is not optimal and I tend to rush into the snatch as I always have a ton of reps to do.Problem is my hips take A LONG time to get warmed up and if I push it too early the arm gets involved. I will keep the reps low, 3-5 and use it to open up the hips.
Been trying to figure a way to put the two hand swing back in but control the volume. This could be it. Use low reps and really get the hips to get opened up BEFORE I start to warm up the snatch. We'll see. Will do some two hand swings all the way overhead too to open up the shoulders.
The shoulder feels great by the way and my body liked the idea of low rep heavier sets. I can tell because it didnt smite me down for even thinking of adding it back in.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
