Good to hear the leg is okay! I had a similar incident not too long ago. Leg just popped - no injury or pain. I told my massage therapist (an ex-Olympian weightlifter) and he suggested that I wrap up the knees.

I told my massage therapist (an ex-Olympian weightlifter) and he suggested that I wrap up the knees. It was the strangest thing, but I think I just had the wrap too tight too high up on my leg and it just put things in a bind. A little sore today, I'll test it tomorrow on deads!

Power chest and biceps
bench press 135x10 185x6 225x3 245x2 295x2 (sucked!) 275x5 275x5
incline barbell 245x5 245x5
dip 70x6 70x4
barbell curl 65x10 95x5 135x4 155x6 155x5
incline dumbell curl 70x6 70x6
hammer curl 65x6
My bench presses are sucking big time! I think its got to do with not doing them for so long plus my bdwt. is down from being sick and feeling somewhat puny lately! But no excuses, right? I am going to bump up my caloric intake, mostly post workout carbs somewhat. I think I've probably been depleted too much lately.

squats 135x10 225x10 275x6 315x3 365x3 405x4 405x4
nautilus incline leg press 14plates x 8 14plates x 8
barbell lunge 185x6
leg curl 105x6 105x6
stiff leg deads 225x6 275x6
Another short and sweet workout! I was a little apprehensive about my leg today, I felt a twinge last week. I could feel it a little but nothing serious. Squats were down a few reps today I'll have to get them back up there!
I used a different leg press today. The nautilus incline leg press is a sled type machine but the foot plate pivots. I didn't like the feel of it at first but I've got the hang of it now. It really stretches the hams at the bottom of a rep. I'll definitely be going up in weight next week!
Started doing lunges again today, I do them with a barbell and step up onto a box about 6 inches high. I'm able to lunge really deep this way and I really feel them.

Joel, Don't get too concerned about the poundages....the main thing is you're pain free....those number will go up. The way you train that's about as sure a bet as there is!
