22 Aug Ken Whetham: Back to Light Squatting
It’s been just over 8 weeks since I injured my right knee at the CPF Canadian Nationals. My knee has been feeling better and I started some light squatting today and everything seems to be on track.
I will definitely be taking it easy and light over the next few weeks to make sure everything is solid before starting anything heavy.
McGill Warmup
SSB Box Squats:
Bar x 10
125 x 8
165 x 5/5/5/5/5/5
Conventional Banded Deadlifts off 2 inch mats with Light Bands
235 x 5
235 + Light Bands
2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2
Beltsquats:
290 x 10/10/10/10/10
That was it for today: Simple & Light
My knee felt fine after squatting today: A few more weeks of light training before I’ll plan on doing anything heavy.
