Squat: 140kgx7x5
OHP: 40kgx10x3, 6x2
PBN: 20kgx15 (I'm so bad at this is laughable)

Shoulder seems almost healed.
I'm prolly the only person that feels the work on squats in his lower back (wearing a belt) but feels deadlifts on his quads (without wearing belt).

Edit: I'm quitting chocolate, only reason I'm not ripped

The strongest guys are usually the nicest and most helpful!

Morning squats up to 225kg were super easy. Snatches up to 130kg were PERFECT (almost forgot what it feels like to hit a heavy snatch flawlessly). Then a miss and a slight pressout at 135kg. Clean and jerks at 100 120 140 150 160 no problem. These will probably be my openers for the local meet this saturday. Have no idea why i'm feeling so fresh, I destroyed my body with 16 hours of snowboarding + drinking this weekend. On the bright side since my roommate is a chiro he popped back into place everything i fucked up boarding ^_^

This really isn't generally true. My ghetto gym is full of huge meat heads who basically live there and they are morons and jerks for the most part. I wish it was different ....

So I am still struggling with significant imbalance from my knee injury. My left leg is still visibly smaller and weaker by a lot, which stops me from doing serious squats and deadlifts.
So far I have been doing a lot of single leg exercises (leg press, extension, etc) and basically did what I know: 3 sets of 5 with increasing weight. However progress is incredibly slow, and it almost feels like my healthy leg is getting further ahead.

My PT suggested to end all sessions with an exercise to exhaustion. So I should do (for example) single leg presses at a weight that completely exhausts me within 30 seconds. If I can do more reps after 30 seconds, increase.

Opinions on this suggestion?

I was humbled by wide stance deadlift today. I had my feets all the way out to the plates (sumo dl?) and pulled a max single. To my big surprise I maxed out almost 40 kg below my max conventionel deadlift. I'm surprised there was this huge gap between the two.

Other than that training is going well so far.

Played basketball for the first time since like 3 years. Hadn't played a running-around sport for about 2 1/2 years. Holy shit, my cardio has literally gone 'to pot' as we say in England. I was completely fucked. Gona have to start sprinting and shuttle running to get myself in better shape, having to sub myself off after every 6-7 minutes and almost dying is not a good feeling :/

Basketball is really freaking tiring.

Nice and sore today after my first real workout in a while. Also subbed for an indoor soccer team as a goalie and it was a miserable experience lol.

GoTuNk!

Seems fine. I have not tried, but rowing (on a rowing machine, if u have one) with only one supporting leg would be pretty good way to pump the weak leg. Just make sure not to overstress too much it in the long run and injury it.
