Still around

Nobody can figure out my knee pain

5 physical therapists
5 chiropractors
1 hijamah expert
1 biomechanics expert
1 massage therapist
1 accupuncturist

Crazy stuff

Reading through my old posts and i miss being so strong and cut. I can still squat but not jump much else my knees act up. My dunking days are over unless someone can figure this out

Currently getting back to being serious in the gym. I barely made any net progress in like 7 years

Need to cut a bit. Im doing some bodybuilding style stuff now (which i should be primed for after doing strength training for like a decade!) maybe for a year before going back to strength training

Training via mike mentzer’s principles right now (1 set to absolute failure) and loving it

Need to start logging my workouts again!

Still have to update a few more workouts, but something i noticed using mike mentzer's training principles:

- It's nice shortening my workouts. I dont get as stressed and annoyed. Usually after a longer workout, I have to take my headphones out as I get irritated. Might be cortisol rising. With these short workouts, I don't get that. Instead I get that amazing endorphine feeling!
- I feel accomplished after these workouts
- I didn't know how far from failure I actually was. This workout is teaching me that I actually have more reps in the tank than I thought for things like calf raises, db shoullder presses, curls, etc. however, I was pretty accurate with the squats.

Thinking to do this for around a year before i switch back to traditional strength training and amping up my CNS.
