Knee Rehab Workout #2
 
Stationary bike- 20 min
Leg Press- 3x10@200 with both legs, then each leg seperately
Straight leg raises- 3x15
TKE- 3x15
 
Notes:
 
Felt good, for the most part. I have a little bit of popping at times. It doesn't have me overly concerned, since it's not really painful.

Boom!
 
Knee Rehab
 
20minute stationary bike
Stretching
Leg press - 3x12 each leg and both legs
TKE- 4x20
SQUATS!!! 1x5@135, 3x5@225
RDL - 2x10
 
Feelin good, yall. I wasn't gonna squat, but there was a group of four bro bros in one of the racks making a total mockery of the lift. I decided that someone had to please the gods of the squat rack, so I slid under a bar. Depth was good, pain was there, but tolerable. I think I'm back! Next week, 245x3x5.. Baby steps.
 
Now, its NSAIDs and RICE.

DE Bench
Warmup stuff
 
Speedy Bench vs mini band
 
Bent over row, wide grip, pulled to xyphoid process
1x6@135, 155, 175, 195, 215, 225
 
Press
 
OH Lockouts
2x5
1x4
 
Front raise
4x10
 
Face pulls
5x12
 
Lesson to be learned here... I have a weak press. Fresh, I'm doubting I'm good for 205. Just goes to show ya, kids, benching does almost zilch for oh strength. I can lay down and bench 365 at any given time, but I can't press 60% of that.

Knee is feeling good. Based on that, I will squat again Friday, along with the rest of my rehab stuff. If that goes well, and I don't  swell up, I will continue to squat 2x per week for the next 5 weeks, then take a reload week for all of my lifts before I undergo a 6 week meet prep for my meet on March 24. Hopefully, my last heavy squat workout will involve somewhere close to 5 wheels and my last deadlift starts with a 6.

So true on the women's press carryover to OHP.  Although the opposite is most certainly true. 

Glad to hear the knee feels good!

2x1@355 PR stuff
 
Bent over rows

Felt good. 355 felt good in my hands. I might have gone for 365 had I not just worked for 12hrs. Either way, holding 400lbs in my hands is nice, and doesn't feel heavy at all, really.

3x5@255

Single Leg Press

Elliptical hurts less than bike- 10 minutes
 
Squat
 
Single Leg Press
 
Didn't have time for anything else cuz I'm now training one of the football players I coached this summer.
 
Does anyone think it's a bad idea or too early to have some ART done to break up scar tissue around the knee and some clean up in my quad?

Apparently I set a PR a few weeks ago, and didn't know about it until the other day. Hit a home run and knocked my wife up. Found out on my birthday, so that was kinda cool. This will be our first child and I'm pretty thrilled about it.

Somewhat rushed on this workout. Got up late, and I work tonight. No big deal, though. I got the work in and set a PR, fueled by the rage of GB playing horrible football and losing. Old PR is roughly 8 weeks old, which seems to be par for the course lately. Since I've started using the Westside method, I've been increasing in strength on an 8 week schedule. I'm pleased, and hopefully this helps with my throwing.

Knee has some swelling and some pressure in the same area as the initial injury. Not thrilled about that. I think I'll take it easy tomorrow.

Trying to get the Squat back
 
Warmup/foam roll
 
Squat
 
Single Leg press
 
Treated the squats like speed squats. They felt good, with only a slight amount of knee pain.
 
My trainee(14 years old, 6' 170) is coming along. He did 5x5@115 on squats today. His depth isn't there, but I think that will come with increased hamstring strength in the future.

As I set here, thinking about my future in training, I wonder what it will be like. How hard is it going to be to maintain a consistant training schedule with a newborn around? Will I still be able to accomplish my life strength goals?
I think it's important for me to continue. I certainly don't ever want my kid to feel neglected because I'm in the gym. That's really my only fear, in the matter. Hopefully I can raise them to see my training for what it really is, and not as something selfish that I spend my time on.
Sons always idolize their fathers' strength. In many cases, it is almost mythical to them. How often do you remember arguing with your friends about whose dad was stronger? I want to be the strongest of all dads. As boys get older, they often challenge themselves to be as strong as their father. Hopefully I can give him something to work for and be proud of.
For my girl, I want to be strong. I want her to know that I can protect her from anyone and anything. Yes, I do want to be the intimidating father that she brings boys home to. I want to be a good example of they type of man that she wants to marry.
In my future, I'll have to have a whole different type of strength than what I've been building. I'm now going to have to carry the entire world of at least one individual. I look forward to the challenge.

You will still have plenty of time to train, but there will be decisions based on time with the family.  I had to make them many years ago (and continue to make them currently as mine are 10 and 11 now), and I don't regret adjusting my schedule or missing a highland game one bit. 

I'm amazed by the guys that have young ones and still do 20 games per year and train 4-5 times per week, as I know I couldn't and wouldn't want to do it. 

Good luck!

I think it definitely takes sacrifices, and it can be difficult.  That's why my alarm goes off at 4:30 am each morning; not because I want to go lift then, but I know that it's the only time I can go if I want to spend time with my family after work.  By lifting before work, I know that I won't miss anytime with my family.  

Just an example.  You'll know what to do.
