Whats your sport? Are you running with proper form? Squatting with proper form?

Just do leg press or box squats or something. Nobody says that you HAVE TO back squat.

Tell us what sport fag

Is his supinated arm flexed?

>>39576039
Yes, very bad form desu. Does he even lift ahah!

>>39576039
Yes

Bicep tears are the worst desu, never flex like that.

I've dealt with patellar tendonitis before. It's fucking annoying. I just dropped squatting except for one session of lower volume (working to a moderately heavy set of 1-3) paused squat once a week and it healed up okay

Did your pain stay with you days after your leg workout? I think I have what you have but I don't want to stop leg pressing or squatting. What do you advise? Knee wraps? Lower weight?

I mean, it may be his 1rm, but you don't expect that type of bad form when you are that advanced.

>>39576156
It did.

Like I said, I went for lower volume on squat so I was only getting a few reps in a week. I also wore knee sleeves (wraps would also work if you have them), iced it every night and took ibruprofen before gym

slightly poor form is to be expected on max attempts

Lol at the form police. When you start pulling as much as Franco you can judge as much as you want.

see the post i replied to? ok.

I mean, is this completely treatable? I don't want to become a habitual pill popper, either. Will I completely fuck my knees if I just keep up my routine? I foam roll and stretch and ice after each gym session, but the knee soreness is still there. I love squatting too much to stop
