In Too Deep

Happy St. George's Day!  Winter training has gone well but because it was so cold and wet, my knees have been painful for the last 6 drug free months. The steroid Decadurabolin is commonly used to lubricate and ease joints but while I'm drug free all I use is glucosamine and fish oils. I've had to alter my leg workouts drastically, the days of "arse in the grass" squats have long gone but I have been regularly repping out at half a tonne on the 60 degree leg press, albeit with limited depth. I've now changed that though and cut the weight to just 300 kilos but I'm dropping the weight so deep that my knees are on my shoulders, hopefully that will shock the quads into new growth.  No such worries with the upper body as you can see from this "Repraw" pic.
