Give it a few days of moving around. If it is torn meniscus, it may migrate out of your knee hinge and you won’t even notice it.

How are you feeling?
The same. Nothing has changed. Yesterday did a quick 10 min stairmaster workout and my knee afterwards felt great, no pain, nothing, even when I tried to flex it as hard as I could to try to reach full extension.
Otherwise still can’t extend and it’s a little bit painful and uncomfortable. Still gonna take the week off leg training, then resume it…

Sorry to hear that
That is very insightful of you, glad you realise that rather than just smash your head against a wall.
Something I’ve been mulling about and meant to ask you is, I’ve been diddling away some time looking at lifters in oly and powerlifting and olylifter seems to be able to generate a ton of IAP without nearly as much ceremony beforehand. Are they just better at doing that quickly, or are they better at relying on their tendons rather than sheer muscle strength?
You mean intra-abdominal pressure?
Yes, exactly.
I just think they have strong AF core. When you train olifting, you destroy your core everyday.
Squats, o-lifts, direct core work, EVERY DAY. I can tell you it works it a lot ahahah
Then when they are doing the max effort olifts, they are (usually) below what they can do in a squat, so their core isn’t “that challenged”.
Then again, if they have an olifter ideal morphology (not all of them do), their torso angle, technique etc makes it so that it will always be their legs that fail first.
And finally, they are super explosive kind of lifters, and they learn to lift that way. Everything is thought about it. Their training is made so that their core is made of titanium so that they can be the most explosive possible (because usually being explosive means less tension/bracing).

Hey man, sorry to hear about your knee! Did you get clinical tests on it that would suggest a meniscus tear?
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
That might be it. It might also be that I’m looking at elite oly-lifters but not equally elite powerlifts. Not sure. I started remarking on it when I saw a clip wherein one of the Japanese oly-lifters is “reacting” to a powerlifting championship and he starts remarking that he finds their numbers low for their weight class and interleaved were clips of him ATG back squatting similar weights if not more (my recollection isn’t perfect).
Ahahah yes, I saw that one. Toshiki Yamamoto. The dude is a gold medalist. Also he has a crazy high squat, even for an o-lifter. Not many are as strong as him.
Check his form BTW. He’s like torso completely vertical and his legs are pistons. Me, even when i high bar or front squat I bend forward lol
You and me are just built with long legs.
So 2 days ago I did a Meadows back workout with a girl:
A/ One-Arm Barbell Row with Chains 1 x 10, 1 x 10 + double drop set
B/ Straight-Arms Rope Pulldown + Band Pullover 3 x 10 + 10
C/ Straight-Arms Rope Pulldown 1 x 3 full reps + 3 partials, repeat to failure
D/ Machine Lats Pulldown 3 x 10
E/ Rear Delt Swing Destroyer Set 1 x 60 + 30 + 10 drop set
F/ Dumbbell Curl 15, 10, 8, 6
And today a little conjugate push training. Nothing crazy, but today I’m sore AAAAAFFFFF! What the hell? How? I just took three days off
@TrainForPain I don’t know what I’ll do yet. Fortunately a friend is working in a hospital and I can have a MRI on monday! So perhaps the surgery will come fast.
In any case, no running, jumps, olifting etc… So my cardio will wait. I think I’ll go either pure strength or hypertrophy (maybe Gamma Bomb? I have it and never done it)
Here’s a Conjugate Template I have devised. Well these are adapted to my weakness, so you probably would have to change exercises to focus your own (as I understand, you’re more of a squatter and bencher build when I am a deadlifter)

POWER CLEANS
You like power cleans, you have several options there! I didn’t included them because of my knee.
- Max effort.
You can very well use them as a max effort lift. Because of their nature, I would probably a secondary lift afterwards if you feel good, something more hippy like Wide Stance High Box Squat against Bands - go to a moderately heavy set of 5
You could use several options there:
1RM Power Clean
1RM Power Clean from Blocks
1 Power Clean + 2 Front Squat
1RM Clean and Jerk
BELLA COMPLEX 1 Clean + 1 Shoulder to Overhead + 1 Front Squat + 1 Shoulder to OVH
- Speed work
Yes their nature make them amazing for speed work! Just do them in lieu of either squat or deads, whatever, i consider them both a pull and a push.
- Conditioning…
Let’s see this
CONDITIONING
I think we should do conditioning at least once a week, ideally 2 times.
We have several ways of going at it. here are some exemples that I like
- Aerobic training:
EMOM 4-6 rounds
Assault Bike
KB Swings
Rower
Box Step-up
Rest
2-4 rounds
5’ Bike
5’ Rower
5’ Treadmill
3-5 rounds
25 cal Bike
25 cal Rower
25 cal Ski Erg
3 Kilometer Bike
2 Kilomter Jog
1 Kilometer Rower
10 Cal Rower + 100m Weird Object Carry
6-8 rounds
- Anaerobic training:
4 Power Clean at 70% + 12 Burpees Over Bar - 4 mins rest - 4-5 rounds
Sled Sprint 8 x 10s - 2’ rest
Deadlift - Power Clean - Front Squat complex - 5-4-3-2-1 reps, 2’ rest between rounds (5 reps, then 2’ rest, then 4 reps etc). Add weight each set.
- Mixed…
4 rounds
20 cals Bike
20 landmine Thruster
20 KB Swings
3’ rest
If you’re low on time and don’t want to do conditioning on another day, you would use a finisher at the end of a workout:
1 Hang Power Clean + 2 Front Reverse Lunge - max rounds in 5’ - use a weight allowing you to complete 4-5 cycles without stopping
1 Hang Power Clean + 1 Push Press - max rounds in 5’ - use a weight allowing you to complete 4-5 cycles without stopping
8 Hang Power Clean + 8 Thrusters - max rounds in 5’
10’ of Treadmill walk holding a heavy KB: you can hold it however you want and switch position, but you can never drop it for the duration. Use a heavier one to progress
Sled Sprint 60 m + Loaded Carry 60m - 2’ rest - 5/6 rounds
EMOM as long as possible:
10 Push-ups
10 Inverted Row
20 Double-Unders or 40 SU
Tabata: pick 1-2 exercices and go crazy for 20 secs - 10 secs rest - 8 rounds

Dude, that was impressive. I’ll post more later, but wow!
Good news on your MRI! That’s a good friend to have - those can take forever.
Gamma Bomb was maybe my favorite Meadows program
Was this all for me? This is the kind of work you should charge for. I’m more than happy to run it and log it
Well yeah! I have been thinking about Conjugate a lot. If this motivates you by all mean go for it, I think I’ll be doing something like this albeit a bit less hypertrophy and more conditioning when i’ll feel my knee
The thing would be to use conservative weight. Even on the max effort. Keep the rest period at 3’ tops on the max effort. Trust the circuit are enough work and these should provide you quick efficient workouts.
Today I did a max effort leg day with one of my clients, a program I wrote for him (since I don’t follow anything right I said let’s do it). It was fun!

This was incredibly nice of you. I really appreciate it. You didn’t have to do this. I’ll definitely take a swing on this and report; if nothing else, maybe I can be a useful case study.
I know but I wanted to ahah

That’s really just incredible of you man.
I will give it a real go. My next two weeks will be weird timing wise, just because of schedule, but that’s how all programs go for me… almost like removing a variable!

It was a fun one! I did a bit of arms for fun, which BTW provided me with a crazy pump and size and honestly wasn’t as boring as I thought arms would be!
Then the conditioning felt excellent even though I was very tired
My knee felt good. As good as it can be!
Gonna do just pleasure stuff this week, no focus on performance. Then one week in the mountains to relax and no gym. Gonna rest. It’s been months I haven’t woken up fresh. i think too much sport + work + being too exigeant + lack of sleep + alcohol and bad food have been having their toll on my health. Going to reset hard. Performance is out of the question for a few months with my leg I think (well, I have no problems for deadlifts and bench, but I want my squat to go up!!)
Some personal stuff: well friday after this session there was a “christmas party at the gym”.
As my friends were arriving much later, I was alone at first so I was invited at a table made-up of cross training attendant. It was super cool and festive. There was this girl I had seen a few times at the gym and talked a couple times maybe. I had not seen her in a while, but even a candid simpleton as me could see the signs this time, like @wanna_be described to me.
We chatted the whole time appart from when I was checking on my friends. Just the way she would look at me, the physical contact and the laughs. Then we all danced, it was crazy. Then it was even crazier, we all went to the gym’s pool and it turned into a Project X pool party, with the loud music and alcohol!
After a while, I mustered my courage, encourage by my girl friends, and asked her out on a date and she said yes. Then my memory is a bit blurry but we made out several time in the pool and honestly it was the hottest, most exciting kissing session of my life. Even her was “WOW” as well lol.
Anyway, this is the first time I actually act like I want to do, go talk to her, flirt, ask her out, kiss her, when I don’t relaly know her, and in person, there, on the first night, like a confident human being lol! So I feel proud of myself.
So we’ll see each other in 2022 hopefully (our schedules were busy until then with the holidays). i’m not much of a talker by text so that’s anooying that it’s so far, but whatever ahah I don’t care I just feel proud.
Anyway, in the meantine, not gonna think too much about training or life, just relax a bit and have fun, guilt free
