I was being a spaz! Member 2961, 1580 posts SQ 195, BP 120, DL 255 570.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	bas***d patella tendinitis has flared up again. Serves me right for hitting a PB. Pissed me right off. Anyone got any quick fixes? How can I still squat/deadlift on it?

I was being a spaz! Member 2961, 1580 posts SQ 195, BP 120, DL 255 570.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Cheers Owen. I had it earlier this year, had physio, but I reckon this time it's purely due to poor flexibility following my squat session on Saturday. The DOMS I had prevented any bloody stretching. Nob.

I was being a spaz! Member 2961, 1580 posts SQ 195, BP 120, DL 255 570.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Well, I stopped doing the single leg incline squats the physio prescribed as the pain had completely subsided. More fool me. So should I stop normal squatting completely or, just go light again?

Member 38, 6253 posts	After the initial period of a week or maybe two where you stop exercising and let any inflammation wear off, you really need to look at getting back in the gym. Try and figure out what exactly is making your knees hurt. Unless you're completely f**ked up, squatting is a very natural movement for your body. So if it's causing pain then it's something you're doing or the way your body moves while squatting that's causing issues. Use a video camera, compare yourself with other people who are built like you and see if you can spot anything.

I was being a spaz! Member 2961, 1580 posts SQ 195, BP 120, DL 255 570.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Ok, good shout. I did some Zerchers which I haven't done since my last lay off with the same problem. Didn't figure it was those, but but I did them light and with speed/explosiveness so perhaps they over loaded the tendon too much?

Perhaps yeah, I was thinking it's more likely something to do with your squat form.

Might try wrapping below the knee and see what happens.

The PB I hit on Saturday required a lot of hip drive on the way up, so perhaps my form faltered somewhat? I'll get some vids done.
