    my pos knee

    Well I finally hit a point were my knee has had enough.I tried training around it but nothing is helping.I even got a cortiozone shot with no relief,and tried many different sups.I can still do leg curls and half squats but when I break parallel my knee hurts like a bitch(swells and hurts for days).What should I do to get a effective leg workout or should I just hang it up and stop working legs all together for months and see if it heals.

    i should have said physical therapy, but if thats out of the question for now then I have no idea. Probably take some long time off, with long stretching everyday.

    Yeah physical therapy is probably the best bet. If you can't do that, take it really easy on your leg days (keep them in shape while avoiding any more injury). Definitely don't go near your max. Slowly work your way back up and if it still hurts, go back down weight-wise.

    You don't need to break parallel to develop or at the very least maintain good leg development. I would still stick to squats and go as low as you can without hurting or injuring yourself. I would also do deadlifts.

    Maybe I will try to squat to a bench on the smith machine.It sucks because at one point in time my legs were my strongest point.If I did deadlifts wouldn't that put alot of stress on my knee still?Maybe sumo deads been along time since I even attempted deadlifts.I don't want to be like 75% of my gym all upper body and chicken legs

    Bro I could not do squats for a long time because I have had over 3 full knee dislocations.

    I found leg press was a great sub for squats.

    If your on the gear side of things many people like deca for the joints, and hgh we all know is good but not something I am into.

    But give the leg press a shot bro it really is nice on the knee.

    Keep the ice on it bro. If it keeps swelling up, keep dropping the weight til you find your comfort zone. Stay there for a month then slowly build back up. If you are using any gear, during the month it should heal up good. If you start moving back up slowly and it still swells up, you may have some serious damage.
