A pop sound is always disturbing when it comes to knees. I hope all is well today.
yeah - it’s cool. Thanks for the concern y’all. It’s just the tired body sending warnings to shut it down before damage results. I listened last night and all is fine.

I was really surprised you found my video, that was from a couple years ago.
sorry about the knee popping. I always worry that mine’s going to explode when it does that. since no bones were jutting out of the skin, you’ll prolly be okay. did you do some ice and ibuprofen?[/quote]
See, now THERE’S some imagination!
The video is actually of Ernie Beath, record holder in USAWA for some pressing. He was screwing around with some USAWA lifts - the one-handed clean and jerk being one of them.
No pills for me. Haven’t taken aspirin or related in a decade or more. I treat stuff like this with food.

Glad it wasn’t anything serious, now rub some steak on that knee!
shoulder pops, ok, neck ok, knee’s scary.
Glad your ok…
nice work all around.
425 for a pulling deload.

I am wondering whether anyone on this site works harder at this lifting thing than you.
Thanks guys and kimbakimba.
I think it’s only work if you don’t like it. And others do much more than I, certainly.

Still run down from DLs the other day, so I just did a PR on box squats and dropped weight for a couple more easy reps. 335 felt heavier this time than 355 did the last time I did them. Still gonna make some muscle however.
I’ve got a technique problem on push presses. I have the strength to get 215 above my head, but I won’t go under the bar when it gets heavy, so the darned thing ends up out in front of me.
Each rep on KCGBP was slow but solid. Just putting the work in.
Windmills really work the muscles all over the shoulder blade, so I’m going to keep adding reps and do these each session till I get to 5’s

Nice Work. I like the new log name. Just like James Brown. Sans some pigment.
