A little snow and ice, traction was not the best tonight. 16:09 minute miles. Couple of sketchy moments, going over on my cankle was in the back of my mind. Might have to give up the weighted walking for more cross trainer.

Training felt really good tonight. Cut my hand at work and the straps just dug in and opened it back up, so i was limited by grip strength on deadlifts for the last two reps.

I realized that the goblet squats that I do using resistance bands pretty much matches those landline squats. I love ‘em and are going to hug them later.

Edit: hug? WTF - hit them later

[stocky121]

I’ve seen them done with dumbbells but not with bands, think I’ll check them out.
I think I understand what cy means about raising the landmine because it feels quite heavy not get it up and rotate onto your shoulder, then it feels a lot easier to squat it.
I tilt my body about 20-30 degrees, I think. And my back sits into the plate. If I didn’t push the plates that the landmine sits into against the squat cage it would absolutely push back.

Yep that is exactly it. Starting off higher allows you to not have to basically clean it into place. And also avoids the odd angle of body to weight plate. You can kind of mitigate the latter by facing toward the barbell not away from it, maybe?

Yeah I’d prefer if I didn’t have to clean it into place. But I kind of like been at a slight angle, it’s a little different. I just need a little time to get used to it and possible make some minor adjustments, just like the straps

[stocky121]

Since training legs Friday my knees have been sore. i think it was the extra 11lbs of weight in squats, it felt more like 45lbs when I un-racked it. And when I finished work yesterday i just felt like shit, so I decided to skip training yesterday. Today i fell much better and so do my knees.
Just about to start training now.

That’s why I’ve been doing the cold baths, and to some degree it has helped. I think Friday I was feeling good and I just pushed that bit to far
Man I wish I was 20 again.

Those hikes with the heavy vest might be contributing too. I agree with CY, welcome to the times of oh crap what’s in pain now?!?

Very possibly, but I enjoy them as a form of cardio plus I limit it to once a week. On the plus side my knees feel fine this morning.

I’d say you’re too young for them now, but wait till you get into the 50’s and if the pain is intolerable & it’s limiting your ability to function, it’s something to consider (that is of course if your insurance covers it).
