Thanks Hopper.

Yeah your right it is a good idea to try and strengthen up the pc and try some new exercises. I didnt do the knees any favours this week trying to go abit heavier on the step ups. I will be more carefull next week and maybe use dumbells.

Gday Pity,

Yeah I will be more carefull in the futre. The other stupid thing I did was use a bench with a soft top as the step. So I didnt have a solid footing. I will have to go upstairs and borrow some aerobic steps.

Try to get it so the bottom of the working thigh is parallel or a bit higher. It would be better if you could start a bit lower to get used to it but for the knees that wouldn't be the best. But you have to give it time to get the balance and rhythm down with some lighter weight and it's best to start with dumbells so that you can concentrate purely on the balance, etc. rather than a weight on you shoulders. If you have heavy enough db's of course you don't need to arbitrarily switch to a bar.

Tuesday 11th March
Recovery Day

Squat 130kg 2x4
Press 60kg 4x2
DeadLift 192.5kg 1x1

I decided to go for a Deadlift PR today. Because it felt like a Deload on sunday. I wanted to film the Lift, but my camera switched off a few seconds later. Oh well next time.
