Knee pain is much better. Felt some minor discomfort on one random set in the middle of working up and it went away.

Squats
405x3x10 (PR)
* Well, this was something I wanted to work up to within the next few weeks but I found out I can already do it. Oops. Thinking about either upping the weight or seeing how many reps I can get on either the first or last set. 405x15 would be sweet, and I think modest enough to be doable soon if not now.

Good mornings
150 x 2 x 12

Banded leg curls

I'll get back to squatting in the 500s soon but I'm liking these higher rep but still heavy squats right now. Give my joints a break too.
Have been doing fasted morning cardio before breakfast the past 2 days. Typically starts with 10-15 minutes on the exercise bike, followed by 25 burpees and shadow kickboxing. No structure, just doing what I feel like really. Also finished up my deload week. Knees are feeling better.

Having a cheat day today. Breakfast was a bowl of quinoa, ground turkey, veggies, and avocado and olive oil, then a handful of mixed nuts, whole milk, and two coffee cake bites. Good start.
