How can I do that user?

By being reasonable and listening to your body.

Thank you based joint of femoral extension

I was taking care of my knees, but I snapped the shit out of my hip flexors

Idk my knees used to be shit then I started doing high rep banded curls ed like Louie Simmons advocated and now they feel great. Oh and dbol

Is glucosamine actually good for knee joints?

>tfw Osgood–Schlatter kicks in for the second time in just 3 months
>tfw was just back in to training for a few weeks and just yesterday the knee started to hurt again like fuck

Well, this time I take medicine, last time it took me nearly 3 weeks untill I could walk down stairs somewhat normal again.

has anyone here dealt with excessive lateral pressure syndrome?
basically my patella is maltracking because of muscular imbalance / tight IT band or something
I can only do half ROM squats and have to skip deadlifts with this condition and I'm probably damaging my knee anyway

Never ever do leg extensions

I've had something similar, I mainly just squatted but I it's from quads being weaker. Try direct exercises for them, it seem to help me

I did this today. I skipped doing legs today because I hit my knee on a dresser. Can’t work them if they’re injured.

Knee injuries are memetier compared to shoulder injuries, thats why jeff unironically shills the fuck out of facepulls
>dislocated left shoulder three times, regained almost all mobility after daily facepulls and being conscious of internal shoulder rotation

>t. still a manlet after doing them

my quads are stronger than ever. I've had this problem to some extent in the past, but never to the point where I can't do full ROM quad exercises

I feel like shoulder injuries are much more often a result of poor form while knee injuries are very often happen due to infavorable genetics and accidents while exercising properly
people who never struggle with knee injuries are so lucky

I've been using a trap bar instead, could see if that helps. I was able rep 315 on squats then I had the issue after trying to change my stance. I know people rag on leg extensions but I noticed the effected leg was quivering due to it being difficult. Also I was not able to do anywhere near the weight I could do before I stopped doing leg extensions. Not say you have to do those but try hitting the tear drops of your quads more. But try the trap bar if you can't do deads/squat

Massive cope

My knees are broken and I'm only 18, I can barely walk what do I do? The doctor just told me to do stretches

What's the best exercise to specifically target the quads?

Bonus point if no machine and possible to do with dumbbell or barbell.

1. Don't allow any of the surrounding muscles to become imbalanced/tight
2. do low impact cardio
3. wear supports if doing anything strenous

Joints aren't muscles, they don't get much stronger after heavy usage, have limited usage and take forever to recover, treat them wisely

>tfw recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery

Good reminder, user.

Strength training and soccer can fuck your shit up. Listen to your body lads

Don't you outgrow that? I had that 10 years ago when i was growing in middle school. Shit fucking sucked.
