Yesterday I ignored what my body was trying to tell me and I kind of tweaked my knee doing squats. I don’t think it’s a bad injury but for once, I’m going to try to be an adult and lay off of it for a day (or two).
Does this mean couch time? Nay nay!!! Just because I don’t want to load my knee while flexed doesn’t mean I’m throwing a pity party for one. It just means doing other stuff for a bit that in truth I should probably be doing more of anyway.
So today was putting all my joints through a full ROM (mobility work, yay!!!), then half an hour of handstand practice which I’m convinced will help my torso stability under load (sound like a jerk to you? Yeah, it did me, too). Then a little triceps and ab work. Because I’m incapable of being in a gym and doing nothing for lower body, I did some reverse hyper sets. A loaded back and booty is a happy back and booty. Or maybe that’s just me.
