Yes, I am human. No, I am not the most genetically gifted human on earth. I get a lot of comments about how I am a genetic freak. I started working out 5 days a week, with insane intensity and strong desire to not be the smaller than my sister, on my 13th birthday. And have not missed many days since. I was 121lb. at 5'4''. My mom was worried about me because I was so skinny. I have a brother 2 yrs. yonger than I am and when I was 15 (having worked out 5 days a week for 2 yrs.) people thought he was older. Probably the most accurate compliment I've ever gotten was from a judge at the 2012, Mr. Universe where I placed 2nd. He was an old man who had been a bodybuilder since he was young. He shook my hand and said it was amazing how much muscle I've managed to pack on this tiny frame. Ha! I fought hard with blood, sweat and tears for years to get where I am. So, with that being said, don't be shocked at what I'm about to say:
My knee hurts. (And while I'm on the subject: my back hurts, my neck hurts and my shoulder hurts too.)
Today I had to back out of squats. Today was a sad day in the life of Levi. So what did I do? Front squats and lunges. That was pretty much my whole quad workout. They were pumped and tight. It got the job done.... BUT NOT LIKE THE SQUAT.... The squat shall indeed return to my arsenal of quad exercises to reign supreme. Until then... Squat low to get high.
