11-5-14 – Dynamic Effort Squats

Today I worked on speed squats for dynamic lower body day which means 10 sets of 2 reps as fast as possible with keeping good form. I stretched out really well before hand and even stretched out my shoulders so they wouldn’t cramp up as I pushed my elbows under the bar. The day started out really well and I waited around 45 seconds in between my sets which I used to observe my new training partners form. During the third set I noticed a pain above my right knee which I assume is work related.   Before I continued I used the foam roller on it some more and the pain was lessened but not completely gone. Despite the knee discomfort I was still able to keep a good pace through the workout.
