Yeaā¦ Did too much. Both quads feel strained and sore, pain again in going down stairs in right knee. Backing off for a day or two to let it recover.
20160123 - Hockey
League game after Company Holiday Party. 1 Hour.
I thought I played pretty well for having had a bit of whiskey and other pain inhibitors. And a 24 oz Ribeye.
Spent some time in the sin bin, all because I shoved a guy on the other team too hard and he hit the boards and fell down.
Itās not my fault he canāt keep his balance.

I was ātradedā back to the white bench to balance out the sides.
The white bench said they didnāt have enough āsalary capā to have me on their bench.
1 goal, several good passes.
Goal was timed perfectly with me telling my bench that Iām scoring the next shift.

I could have gotten more reps on the last set, but Iām still dealing with knee issues.
That was it, with a pending league hockey game late tonight.
One thing that made Sunday morning at the gym āinterestingā was the different group of people at the gym.
Like the guy maybe a little older then me curling 175 lbs using a full body whip motionā¦ At least he wasnāt doing it in a squat rack.
20160131 - League Hockey
1 hour, won 3-1
Game winning goal came from my line. with me drawing off both of the defense men in front of the net for the other winger to score.
Usually goonery in front of the net with the other team Seems no one likes when you fuck with them so they canāt score.
Go figure.
Knees felt good in the game

Back on the dark side, we could not get a puck in the net for anything.
Dark side finally scored literally seconds before the Zamboni doors opened to end the skate.
So we declared it to be āLast goal wins the sessionā even though the white bench had 8 goals and headed out to a bar to rehydrate.
Um, how did you do all the skating with a bum knee?
I just got back on inline skates after a 12 year break, and while itās not the same thing, I donāt have to worry about 200lb men bashing into me, or an object flying at me at 100 miles per hour, although I do have to worry about treacherous twigs and oof the other day f-ing wind.
My knees are achy, my left cankle is cranky, and my right lower back cramps us. I forgot that it actually works your obliques too. So far Iāve done 4 sessions x 6 miles, and Iām so tired. Still much better than walking.
Yay MT is back!
I have to watch out for treacherous ātwigsā too, lol.
I have been fortunate, my knees are slowly improving. Iām making sure i take recovery time between things that stress them. Knee braces on for every hockey skate, still throwing them in on squats.
What has helped a lot with them is getting back to lifting with decent depth on the squats.
Iām hoping in another couple of months to be just wearing them during hockey for a safeguard.
