Bodybuilding.net - Bodybuilding Forum

I have jumpers knee in both of knees so unfortunately when it comes to training my legs it can be tricky. Idealy i want to be proportional when it comes to bodybuilding but with my knees im stuck. Any kind of squatting kills my knees. Right now im able to do leg extensions, reverse hamstring curls ( never get pain on that ) , leg presses are normally good. I have recently read you can increase your leg size by doing intervals on a treadmill. Any advice that could help?

taking a week or 2 of the legs it usually helps to allow the tendon to heal. ice and advil after workouts just like the NBA ballers do after their game. you can also get a knee band or brace that puts pressure on the tendon will help. if it hurts then rest.

I have the same problem mate and I train for soccer twice a week and play once-twice a week. I'm also a keen gym goer, generally 3-5 times a week depending what routine im doing. I've found that plenty of stretching, before and after any exercise is essential and that if they're sore after exercise, icing them and massaging the tendons minimizes the discomfort the next day. Yet in saying that, all those things only work for some people, have a search on the net, there's plenty of advice and different views on what you should do. I wouldn't suggest having to take an ibuprofen to squat though, it's only a band aid solution and won't be good in the long term
