Pleased with session. BS was brutal, but I finished. Snatching went well, only 2 misses in 14 attempts at 90kg. C&J was great, nailed all 10 singles. The jerks were very strong. For first session after a 14 day lay off I’m pretty pleased.

I have been dealing with right knee pain and stiffness for about 10 days after suffering what I considered a minor training injury. My right leg is my back leg during the jerk. I dumped a snatch into my squat stands and it came back and hit my right shin. After about 2 days it swelled up significantly and I lost a good deal of end range flexion and extension. I have had a previous surgery on this knee about 5 years ago. At that time they removed approximately 75% of my medial meniscus and debrided a partially torn ACL. Today I finally had my employer, who is a Physical Therapist and ATC, evaluate it. He feels that I reinjured the ACL again and possibly whatever cartilage is left on my medial side. I have medial joint pain, effusion, lack of terminal knee extension, and most importantly a positive Lachman’s test. It this time I’m going to treat it conservatively with ice, high volt E-stim, compression, DMSO, and extra hamstring strengthening. I’m 35 years old and not wanting to stop training and get it fixed.
