Day Two, Week One: Squats

Day two of my new return-from-competition workout has me squatting again. I was worried my knee problems, which seem to have persisted—if not worsened—despite two weeks of break, would make it too painful to squat, particularly because I'm returning to a higher number of repitions per set. Fortunately that did not turn out to be the case, and I had no pain at all. However, the higher reps certainly taxed my cardio, and I was exhausted for pretty much the rest of the workout—so much so that I could not, as planned, do cardio intervals afterwards.
