Happy New Year!

OK, so I am a little late... but hey, Chinese New Year is next week, so I'm still on time, technically.

Anyways, just an update for 2009. I have pretty much been inactive for about 2 months. Working a new job and going through physiotherapy for my whacky knee. It's a bummer but I need to rest and heal. Since my last post, I have switched gyms... from a leisure-type gym for executives (Seasons Fitness) to a musclehead gym (Physical) close to where I work and live. So far, I have been doing mostly full-body routines and rehab exercises for my bad knee. Deep squats and lunges are out of the question. I did lunges last week and felt pain in my knee for the next few days.

Starting today, I will be switcing to an upper-body/lower-body split. With the lower-body day focussing mainly on rehab exercises and cardio. See how that pans out for the next month or so. I will be posting my routines for my own reference.

Today's workout:

Decline bench press, 5 x 5
Bentover row, 5 x 5
Standing military press, 5 x 5
Underhand grip lat pulldown, 5 x 5
Dips, 5 x 5
Hammerstrength rows, 5 x 5
Hanging leg raises, 2 x 20

Stationary bike - 20 minutes HIIT

I will post my knee rehab routine later.
