@tamtamrod I’ve given these recommendations to a few other people but the MAPS programs (made by the Mind Pump podcast guys), stuff by Jeff Nippard and stuff by Coach Eugene Teo and his Ganbaru Method app are all good options. Some women (and men I guess) also like the programs by Brett...

@mel101 Depends on how heavy you eventually want them to be able to get to and what your budget is.

@christianwife123 I actually did a course of both specifically for my knee. Didn’t seem to help all that much, I know TB500 is supposed to be systemic and 157 more localized. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t get exact enough to the spot (and the knee has less blood flow than, say, a shoulder) but I...

@lee1009 Ahhhh. So giving it rest seems to have helped reduce the (possible) inflammation?

@lee1009 Mine seems to almost be the opposite. I get almost no pain during or after exercise, only when kneeling down (onto, with pressure) the knee.

@dawn16 Yeah, his stuff is great. However, not to discredit the fact that it does work, I don’t think the issue is strength, tightness or stability of, or surrounding, the patellar tendon, quad, glute or IT band. Worked through most of his style of exercises with my PT with no success.

@mikeb34 If I’m honest, I tried a whole slew of isometric leg exercises including these, and it didn’t seem to do much, maybe if anything aggravate it. After I’m done giving it about 6 weeks of reduced physical activity I may try these again, tho, as they are still great for that tendon.

@borisv Yeah, I don’t remember ever having a ton of redness and swelling, and I never really had to stop deadlifting or squatting (though “noticed” it a little bit when going heavy). I wonder if continuing to workout, and hike and treat it normally created some chronic inflammation over time.

@pgobollan Thanks for the information! This is going to be similar to my approach moving forward, I think.

All the way back in Feb I started having pain in my left knee when I would kneel down on it. I THINK it was from kneeling down too much while doing some house projects but I am not sure. Knee pain is on the top/center of the patella, just underneath the bony knob, near the patellar tendon and...
