huge problem

5600000 Posts: 44 Joined: 2003/09/28	2004/08/24, 10:30 PM Unfortunatly i have hurt both my knees and now it is unbelievably painful just to stand up let alone do squats, so my question is, how much harder will it be to cut/bulk without being able to do legs?

I've hurt my knees before so many times, I just do somthing to get them stronger, I'll take a week off from the muslce or joint I hurt, then go back and do some light leg preses and squats, 2 or 3 sets tops. Slowly work my way up. -------------- if you kick a tiger in the @$$ , you then have to descide what to do with the teath end. any guy can hold a girl by the hand, but only the select few can hold her by her feet!

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this but the pain in both knees, is in a bone that sticks out right below my knee cap. Im not quite sure if i can do leg extentions but i know that squats and leg presses are out of the question.

If so it may be possible that you have a fracture in the tibial plateau or some other damage that can be fixed. See the doctor if you haven't he may be able to help or suggest other alternatives to the exercise dilemna. If this is an old injury and you have already been down this path than I apologize and the best of luck. Daniel Love

I don't know if your young or not but you get it when your young like 10-16. I had it but it goes away as you get older. That might help look it up on the net for more info

She said its not osgood slatter, its a case of one part of my knee being over developed and one part of it being under developed. so i was wondering of anyone here has ever had this problem and if they have then what exercises can help it.. thanks in advance
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/09/01, 12:28 PM you focase too much on a certain excercise. Example, you squat with feet close together, and leg press close together. This hits the top, and lower part of quads well, however the outer quad, and ineer quads suffer, this is why i try to do different excercises for my quads, Sumo squats, sumo deadlifts, feet high up on leg press, crab leg presses, lunges, one leged squats. Also make sur eyour hamstrings are close to strength as the quads, this may cause problems too. Your only as strong as your weakest muscle. -------------- if you kick a tiger in the @$$ , you then have to descide what to do with the teath end. any guy can hold a girl by the hand, but only the select few can hold her by her feet!
