Rampage's log

yeah, the hope the knee gets better. I found that I have to warm-up doing regular squats before doing pause squats.

so maybe something like this next time?

Squat:
barx5
135x5
165x3
185x1
Pause squat:
185x6
185x6
195x7
195x6

I do a few other warm-up stuff too, bodyweight squats, a couple-few sets with the bar.

It could have just been an isolated thing too.

Watch the knee. Talk to POB.

Good work here!!!

Thanks! My knees all good now after a few days of rest, will try what Chris said, I'm pretty sure I just need to warm up properly

What's up with the knee pain. Describe

Well it's gone now, but that day when I was squatting, i was only squatting 135x5 and after the second rep I think it was, I felt some discomfort in my left knee, it kept coming and going. I didn't warm up properly, well I did a little bit cardio but no stretching

 

[PillarofBalance]

Center, top, in the joint, behind the knee etc... if it's gone cool. If it comes back give me more specific info. Even a pic of you putting your finger on it helps

 

[Bullmuscle7]

Hope you are ok.
