Knees ever hurt before? Ghr's cause a little knee discomfort at first...ghetto ghr's anyway. One reason why I told you to build up very slowly.

Sorry to hear about the ear infection. Hope it doesn't hurt too bad.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

get better soon.

no, never had knee pain before...but i think it started before i started the ghr's...i don't think i'm gonna squat the rest of the week...or do ghr's...though i would like to do the ghr's see how they feel after that.


ear infection just feels like my head is an overinflated balloon. super full...lots of pressure...and i get dizzy at times...which is interesting...and i have hot flashes it never shows on the thermometer...but...probably just fever once in awhile...and everytime i swallow or yawn...my ears pop. yesterday was a real bitch....get out of the doctors office...driving to the pharmacy...car shuts off. buddy came by, we tried jumping it...nada...and ignition been acting funny anyways...so..he gives me a lift...get drugs...get some food...almost 5 hours without food....i was nuts. came home...made tacos...ate...then went back to car and called tow truck


weighed in at 151 today...so not bad percentage on the MP


thanks fellas.

Get well Pity.

Where is the knee pain then? Behing the knee cap or what?

My general recommendation would be to get off of squats for a bit...or cut down frequency and do step ups for a little while. Also anderson step ups can help. It's a guess but that will probably get your knee back in line. Also things that may need to be stretched: the iliotibial band, hamstrings, and calves.

This is by no means meant to be comprehensive or for sure...it's just some things that can help but I can also feel pretty sure won't hurt.

Sinlge leg stuff in general, btw, can help get the knees better but when mine are acting up I generally go to step-ups and it fixes things right up...but I do step-ups and sinlge leg stuff and the right stretches so I don't really HAVE any knee pain to speak of anymore aside from the occasional ache when I mess up dong power stuff.

Have you ever tried ear candles. You can pick them up from any health store. They might help with your ear infection...Worked for me.

i have heard about those candles...i think it may be time to give it a shot...i've had ear problems for years...had them shot out with hot water...picked out....used peroxide....you name it. definitely gonna look up the candle thing now though...


knee pain is behind the knee cap and right above it...they feel better today...i may try some step ups friday...i always stretch ham/calves before and after workouts...but maybe i'll try that other big word you used that started with "i"

Stretching hams may be good if they are tight. But for this kind of knee pain a quad stretch is probably in order plus the calves and iliotibial band (just rolls off my keyboard ). Step ups help to get the VMO which helps keep the knee cap moving in line and not being pulled to one side so that is very helful. And step ups are just cool anyway. Try to go at with the platform or whatever being at a height that gets your thigh about parallel. That'll give you a pretty neutral affect in terms of hams/quads but will still do the quad thing (VMO).

probably should have not worked out today...but i only did two things...rest of the night is rest time...and i think if i do anything friday...it'll be step ups....and then i will sleep the weekend away and take drugs.
