hey fellas/felletes (if thats a word)! my first time even looking at this part of the board. ive had my share of injuries over the years of training/wrestling, so have a grasp if things are likely serious or not.
2 weeks ago doing squats, started with 225 x 20, then 315 x 15, then 405 x 6, and the next set was 405 x 6 again. nothing new here, have been heavier than this before, but usually with less of a warm-up. throughout this squat routine i could feel my right knee beginning to ache alittle, but nothing to concern me. during my last mentioned set of squats, it got worse each rep, until like the 4th rep it got so bad i had to stop training and go home, very annoyed. i struggled to walk down stairs for 2 days. i took the next week off training legs, and this week, as it has imrpoved slightly, i did some very light sets of real slow squats at 135 x 20, underneath the kneecap still hurting, but again, bearable. its not really getting much better now, altho not as bad as it was. i really need to be squatting heavy again ASAP, any suggestions on what this injury could be? i dont believe it to be serious, but think it has good potential to become serious if i do not sort it now
