A short Story...

Slept in a tent Friday night on the South Rim of the Canyon (it was 33degrees)

South Kaibab trail is over 8 miles long

Bright angel campground is 1/2 mile long and leads
into Phantom Ranch and then to the North Rim

The trail out up the Bright Angel Trail is over Ten Miles long and rises over 4500 feet in elevation to a top height over 7000 feet above sea level

and tried too much weight

Whatever, enough for first day back
Even though my energy levels are way up...
I am sluggish/off because of the low fiber diet, the past week
You don't wanna go off hiking for 5-6 hours and have to poop

Its tendonitis, because if I totally lay off high angle deep knee bending motions it goes away, or when I hike...
as long as it isn't steep high stepping with a pack it actually feels better
as if it gets the juices flowing or something


And I still have plaenty of cartilage...
they just smoothed out the crusty flakey stuff

okay, just to be clear:

1) deep kneebending (greater then 90 degrees of knee flexion) hurts

2) 45 degrees of knee flexion or less does not bother it

3) it doesn't hurt on long walks as long as the walk isn't to steep

4) you think you have some inflamation or you know? It could be that greater amounts of knee flexion hurt because you have like zero cartalige....ie, this could be articular (two joint surfaces) and not muscular (tendonitis).

Not right away, but after some abuse, just squatting one time doesn't hurt

2) 45 degrees of knee flexion or less does not bother it
If it is not already inflammed, then no it will not bother it

3) it doesn't hurt on long walks as long as the walk isn't to steep
Correct, and usually the steep doens't hurt either unless I carry a pack (30+lbs)

4) you think you have some inflamation or you know? It could be that greater amounts of knee flexion hurt because you have like zero cartalige....ie, this could be articular (two joint surfaces) and not muscular (tendonitis).

Why do joint surfaces rubbing cause pain?
unless there is connective tissue inflammation?
 
The Monkey Man said:

Click to expand...

joint surfaces still have receptors that sense pain. Also, the joint surfaces may get inflamed and ache (like osteoarthritis).
 
The Monkey Man said:
OK... So whats the plan?
Click to expand...

1) there is nothing you can do about the fact that you have no cartalige in your knees. Unless modern medicine figures out how to get some in there.

2) what you can do is ice you knees and stretch things that are tight and figure out why the connective tissue (tendons) keep getting inflammed when you do things.

as far as training goes, I would need to see what it looks like when you do things now and you need to do things that are safe and in a pain free range of motion...if it hurts....don't do it.
 
FRI 13OC061545

After Souping up fo the grand canyon I didn't feel like going to the gym this week...

I think I suffered a bit from the same altitude exaustion that I got after climbing Humphreys peak?

Well after no lifting before Vegas, and the Lo-Fiber Hiking diet, which really screwed my system up

I am finally coming back to a routine again...

I would like to start a new diet on Monday
I was thinking of modifying the original wasting diet, but may as well
do some homework, and just make a good solid organic whole food diet

I got the olympic bug to practice lifting again today, which put the hurt on me, not to mention doing strength before technique?
(probably not a good idea, but IDC)

This was a good WO...
I knew my grip would be tired so I started right in w/ the straps

I knew I had more back strength than the past few WO's have shown
I might even be better if I wasn't so fumbly w/the straps

I woke up 0630 felt tired came on here, checked my email and went back to bed
Didn't wake up till 1050 - :eek: guess I needed it, and it payed off in the gym - :)

I am going to sort out a new split and post it 2nite, you are all free to constructively critique it
