Woke-up today and did 5 minutes on the bike, 30 burpees, and some Muay Thai kicks to open up my legs and hips.

I have two different styles of burpees. The first is using my knuckles on the floor and not squatting all the way down (those two traits don't have any relation or bearing on each other, it's just how I've done them. The knuckle support is just from my martial arts background).

The second is more contractile and less ballistic, squatting all the way and doing a push-up.

Both are hard in different ways but I can definitely do more the first way. Today I did the second, and felt a little knee tenderness but no pain.

 My thigh pain has been bothering me to the point that I could not squat without pain yesterday, and that was a light day. After a lot of experimenting and some knee pain I was able to do high, narrow-stance SSB box squats with 225 for 20 reps. Still had thigh pain but it was manageable. I will always find a way. 

Super-setted that with 225x20 deadlifts. First 10 regular, last 10 stiff-legged. Attacked next the upper-body with heavy band presses for 4 sets of 15-20 and super-set that with pull-ups. At the end, I did a 40-second pull-up. I have a minute in me, but the eccentric part started to strain my biceps as they lengthened and that'd be the dumbest thing to injure one of them on.
