Incline Bench in Smith Machine/Rack(bench at 3 setting):
1-45/side: 10 reps..paused
2-45s/side: 10 reps....paused
open belt:
2-45s&35/side: 5+0 reps...TnG
closed belt:
3-45s/side: 4+0 reps....TnG....barely locked 4th out
Sitting Leg Extensions:

Leg Press:
4-45s/side: 20 reps
5-45s/side: 20 reps....much easier than last week
Sitting Leg Curls:
3-45s: 10 reps...
---------------
Wasn't motivated to lift but coworker talked me into doing something...
After 10.5 years I finally did an MRI on the right knee after my squatting fiasco. I was thinking it was either ruptured PCL and/or LCL due to double pop and knee wobble as well as knee giving out on me at least twice during basketball to the outside. The doctor was so confident it was my ACL he jokingly made a 'gentlemen's bet' with me saying I can have an office in his department if I win. Turns out we were both wrong. I have a tear of the lateral meniscus. While rare, knee giving out is one of the symptoms of a torn lateral meniscus. Now I am going to see a surgeon next week to see what my options are. This makes both knees with lateral meniscus tears. My left has a complete rupture down the middle thanks to stupidity with heavy lunges 15 or so years ago. But I don't feel it much unless I bend my leg all the way back.

I spoke to surgeon and he recommended holding off surgery indefinitely unless the meniscus starts causing day to day problems outside of basketball.
