Trap bar deadlift 280x5 320x5 360x5

Used fat grips for warmup sets

Overhead press 110x3 125x3 140x8

Dips 3x10 reps

I don’t think body weight squats really help barbell lifts that much but knees feel way better afterward

May I ask what a splat point is? Like Rotten Tomatoes?

:rofl:

A splat point is 1 minute where heart rate is 85% of the max for your age or higher

they recommend to stay between 12 and 20 minutes total at this level for a 1 hour workout

Still power walking rather than running will avoid running until knee feels 100%

Probably just overdid the past few weeks it after being inconsistent for the 2 months prior
