Squats weren't as bad as before.  Didn't feel as heavy and definitely didn't feel as tired after the core sets were done with.  Did some leg accessories.  The leg pressing was fairly easy, but definitely burned my legs pretty well at only 155 lbs.  Leg curls were awkward and I wasn't too fond of the feeling like my knee would just snap back the other way.  Did some treadmill sprints for conditioning.  About 2 months prior, a knee doctor I met with prescribed avoiding any impact based (running, jumping, etc.) activities and heavy squatting to see if my knee conditions were get better.  Can't say they really have and so I decided to start with some intervals on the treadmill again- no incline yet.

Week 38 - 5/3/1 - Day 121

Cycle #3 **Week 3 Day 1**

** 5/3/1 Press:  5x70, 3x80, 3x90 **DB Military Press:  4x12x25lb Side Laterals:  4x12x10lb Barbell Curls:  4x12x30lb Preacher Curls:  4x12x25lb Conditioning:  15min. elliptical

Press felt a bit better than usual.  Slightly narrowed grip and engaged and tight lats throughout entire movement really helped with the "wobbliness" inherent in my pressing technique.  Also, tried to keep the forearms and elbow underneath the bar instead of to the side.

Been all over the place with my gym time.  Missed first 2 days.  Did bench day on Thursday last week.  Missed day 4 and did squat + deadlift workout the following.  Didn't do 3rd, top set, of squat 5/3/1 to save some juice for the deadlift (I like doing deads way more than squats at this point).

Laziness is getting the better of me again.  Really need to focus and get my ass up in the morning.
