My left knee was not in pain today and for the past couple of days I have been taking glutamine with my protein shake after my workout (which I will explain what glutamine is in another post) and it has helped quite a bit with my muscle recovery. The barbell shoulder press was hard today, that is the heaviest i have lifted while seated and I have to give myself credit because it wasn’t easy by any means. My barbell squat was good, I took my time with it because of the past few days of my knee being dumb and it worked out okay. The leg press, I could have gone higher with 2-5 rep range but didn’t today so.. honestly, I should be hitting 370 for that range .. by now for the leg press. I like that this program implements calf exercises because many people overlook them!
