Not The Mama

I quite often get a bit of knee soreness from doing push-presses with the log, my patella tendon doesnt seem to like it. Anyway tonight I sort of did a "mix and match" workout. I started with a couple of sets of squats, then I did the log. NO KNEE PROBLEMS!! And my push-presses were much more snappy and explosive! If I had let go of the log at the top of the press it probably would have flown another foot higher! lol Now I think of log as "upper body" and I spend ages warming my shoulders and triceps up first. Do I usually warm up my legs? Noooo! I'm a dumbass! I should have realised this ages ago - it is hardly rocket-science. From now on I'm always warming up my legs, ideally with some light squats, before log. |

Did some front squats the other night followed by log and i actually found it harder,so like you say Colin, log is not just upper body. Hope this puts paid to your knee trouble mate. |

Fuckin' SLAYER!!

I always did better on overhead movements when I warmed up with some light cleans or box jumps. As Sean says, warm joints are happy joints. |
