I'll start with the easy stuff first. Friday I squatted. Knee didn't feel good, but I went ahead anyway. The way it's been working is that it hurts at first, but once I warm up I don't feel any pain whatsoever.
It followed that trend, and I managed 4 sets of squats, and then a few weak sets of chinups.

Back Squats - 4 sets
135x10
185x5

We usually do chinups on the smith machine bar, as it's a little thicker and works the grip nicely. Unfortunately, it was taken so we were doing them on a smaller universal type machine that had some hand grips to chinup or pullup from. I didn't like it.
Sunday, I was supposed to do the trifecta. Clean, Press, Front Squat. It didn't happen. I went to the gym, tried 2 warmup sets of cleans, and instantly my right wrist was in pain. Starting from the thumb side of my hand, going halfway down my wrist. Even now, if I make a fist, I still feel that pain. Instantly knew I wasn't doing any cleaning, or anything with my wrists for that matter.
Instead, I found my friend John in a back room of the gym with his ipod plugged into the stereo system. He was doing a semi cardio/sprint workout and I joined in with him.
We did 4 rounds of:
Hitting a punching bag
Mountain Climbers
Jumping Jacks
Jumprope
Only 30 seconds on each item. Afterwards, I felt great. My legs were still sore from Friday's squatting, so they were nicely on fire from the mountain climbers. Plus, hitting a bag was the shit.
So there you have it.
