Sorry if this has been asked before or the wrong forum.
Did about a 9 week var only cycle which ended around early april. I waited a few weeks to have blood work done and everything came back fine.
I am 55, but havent experienced any significant joint pains other than my torn rotator cuff but that was surgically corrected a couple years ago.
So anyway, was doing some weighted box steps a few weeks ago and my right knee started hurting pretty bad. Bad enough I couldn't continue. So I stopped doing those and moved to something else and finished the workout. My knee hurt pretty bad for several weeks following, so I havent done any legs for about a month. Been taking it easy and loading with just some duexis.
The pain felt like it was behind the knee cap sort of. But I could rub the top edge of my knee cap and it was painful to touch there.
My trainer said she thought it was from the tendons not keeping up with the muscle growth. I'm sure others have experienced this issue...maybe not on var specifically though.
Is this something that will present it self in any subsequent cycles I do now? Is there a way to mitigate it if so?
Thanks.
