I'll give that a try though I have given them about three weeks off as it is. Maybe some work would help them.

I'll do as you suggest and go light and higher reps.

It's most likely due to the Max-OT style workouts. Alot of people find it esp. hard on their joints. I wouldn't recommend the program to anyone with under 4 years experience. Try and stick to the program, but for legs, take the high rep route and over the course of 4-5 weeks, gradually increase the weight and decrease the reps.

I'll do that. The pain started a few days after an especially intense leg day that included a balls to the wall calves workout. It's possible I overdid it but with three weeks gone by I'm a bit worried.

I'll probably have to amputate.

Also try some joint stuff from CNW. I heard it pretty good combo.

Update: Over a period of time it didn't seem my knees where improving. Then I started to notice them getting better, slowly. Now I only feel some pain if I twist my knee to test the waters. I'll give it more time before doing anything other then really light work.

I guess the one day that I worked calves really hard and then caught for a few of our pitchers strained them both pretty bad.

Could be a sign of hyperextension. When you do leg workouts try not to overextend. Lay off the heavy weight for a while and go to a specialist. Just to make sure. Take glucosamine, MSM a,d conjointrin to help with joint pain as well. It is easy to over extend your knees while doing squats or presses. Wrap your knees also if you plan on keeping on with your routine.
