Thanks.
No signs of the rack and bench yet. They're due Monday or Tuesday. It'll be interesting to attempt a bench press again. I can only hope that the floor presses I was doing along with the OHP work will have kept my bench pressing in reasonable order.
I'm pretty excited at the thought of having a rack and bench arriving soon.

Rehab / Deload
Just a short workout to keep the blood flowing. I'm still a mass of aches and pretty much everything felt heavier than it should have. Actually, maybe not heavier, as such, but just more of an effort than it should.
I think I just pushed hard for too long through these past few weeks. Even my deload wasn't really a particularly good deload. I'm also thinking that the attempt to widen my stance slightly on the squats ended up placing some extra strain on the knee joint that it wasn't accustomed to. It aches on the inside part of the rear of the knee, kind of inside rear corner if you think of the legs as blocks. Narrowing my stance today reduced the discomfort.
All weights in Kilos, +0.5Kg unless just the bar
Squats
20x10, 30x10, 60x5, 100x5, 120x3x3
MP
20x10, 30x10, 40x6, 60x3x3
BB Row
20x10, 60x5, 80x3x3

blut wump: Regarding the pain in your foot, I used to get those through overuse. The fibrous tissue that connects your heal to the ball and base of the toes tightens up and some times swells (plantar fasciitis).
Stretching it did not work for me, but what did, was almost a type of active release type massage recommended to me by a very good (and gorgeous) female weightlifter. Take a tennis ball or softball (if you are into pain), step on it and roll it up and down your foot slowly like you would with a foam roller. The pain will subside in a few days I promise.
