I honestly dont know mate i was doing a warm up set nothing more than 80kg and as i went down i got a sharp pain shoot right through my knee just under my knee cap it felt like someone had stabbed it up and through the center into my joint. By the time i got home it was like this.

I shudder every time I see this. Crazy swelling! Wonder if its somehow related to you fitting carpets?

Ah ok, I remember it being all swollen up, just wondered if you nailed it down to any one thing.

Mine was just 'tendonitis' another umbrella term. Last time I hurt mine was doing OH squats so they are out as well as lunges which I hurt it on before.
I'm wary of doing anything other than squats really!

The 180 looked fairly comfy I thought. Got a bit more in there. Knee ok again?

Yeah felt good mate i know iv got 240kg there but its not the best looking rep lol.

The knee is feeling good actually theres still a small bit of swelling but i doubt its going to ever go back to normal size now.
 
i seemed to have hit that wall im struggling so bad with motivation not one part of me wants to lift at the minute.
I had the option to be in the gym about 3:30 today and i just sacked it off so im not sure whats going to happen at the minute.
 
Make a point of going tomorrow bud, even just for a light session. Once the endorphins are flowing you will be feeling it.

How about setting yourself a challenge so you have something to work to? Enter a comp or something?
