fuck the quad part right above the side of my knee stings like a needle

[purenaturalstrength]

i was gunning for 6 reps on the squat with my previous 5 rep max

first rep felt awesomely strong

as i descend for the second i feel a slight stinging sensation in the right quad right above the right side of the knee, i finish the second rep


go down for a third but it increases so i dump the bar on the safety bars


i can feel it while squatting with no weight right now or climbing a stair, or riding my bike home was also noticable

not massive pain just worrying stinging feeling


what would your guess be this is? a tear? how long to repair? can it heal by monday?


sucks when your strength is up something like this happens, by the time you're ready to go again the strength is down again...

THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE BY THE WAY

maybe warmed up insufficiently

*2 bodyweight squat sets of 15 reps or so
*1  barbell set 10 reps or so
*5 reps 60kg
*5 reps 100kg
*3 reps 140kg

then the set i was talking about with 160kg, i like to take big jumps like this all the time but maybe it's a bad idea

Had something like this happen about two years ago, haven't squated or really done legs hard since 

[Darren Avey]

Funny enough i had this a little while ago, i just laid off squats for couple of weeks and all is now fine.

Sounds like the lateral meniscus is involved. Hopefully not torn, but irritated.
Resist the urge to squat until the pain is gone.
And don't go below 8 reps, better not below 12. Flush your ego down the toilet.

isn't the meniscus in the joint or something, this is more like where the muscle is starting. i took a pic and pointed in the area

back to full power on squats now?

it's weird how this happened right after my first very strong rep

in the past i've gone so many times to absolute 100% effort and never experienced this


let's hope it's an isolated incident

That's were you feel it, but the problem is inside the joint. It's referred pain.

i'm freaking out now, let's just hope it's all cured on monday 

[Dr Dutch]

Doesn't have to be that bad, just rest..

thanks friend

[Nomad]

just take a week of from legs, hit other muscle groups.

Clearly you need to change your workouts anyway as it's obviously not working

[GroinkTropin]

Pretty much this.

[purenaturalstrength]

that's your opinion.

While we're discussing squats... I squatted 140 kg for 12 and 180 kg for 5 today. Felt good, man.

Hope you recover quickly, bro!

that's pretty sweet, 180kgx5 is my long term goal. so far 5x160kg, could have done 6 today if not for this


i do them high bar full range of motion without belt or knee support


have you ever experienced something similar? i've been squatting hard like this for a good 5 years and never experienced it

Oh, I don't go ass to grass; just parallel for me. I used to go ass to grass, but I just fucked myself up.

And no, never had that. I've fucked my back and groin area before, but never actual pain in the quad... Hope it's nothing.
