I messed my knee up last Friday during the max clean and jerk. Nothing serious, but i now have a pain in my knee that occurs when I walk or use my legs. I stayed away from working out since Friday, but the pain still continues today. Does anyone have any stretches or tips to help me heal quickly?
Anavar
Josh,
Although the information you have provided gives little to almost no incite I will make an attempt to e-help you. First of which is the type of pain. Use words like shooting, numbing, pulling etc. Second, isolate the pain itself: example of which would be upper knee, patella tendon, lower, IT band etc (type in the anatomy of a knee into google for a visual aid). Third RICE is ALWAYS a good to go with any joint injury or stress. If the pain persists I would take a look at mobilitywod.com and do your research there. Tedious I know but if you really want to fix this then you will put forth the time into finding out what you did so you can mobilize it.
Hope this helps,
LJ
FYI: “Nothing serious, but i now have a pain in my knee that occurs when I walk or use my legs.” is pretty fucking serious in my book buddy. So get on this asap.
LJ,
“Nothing serious”, was meant to imply that I didn’t hear any cracking or pop, and I didn’t feel any kind of pain during the lift. But yes, you’re right, I didn’t provide much information on that. During my maxing out, I kept what I thought was proper form, but after looking at the video of my lift, I noticed that my knees extended farther out than my toes, which i didn’t notice or feel during the lift. Later that night, I felt soreness directly on the patella. The next morning, getting out of bed and walking around, I felt pulling below my patella. I know it can develop into a serious problem, which is why I’m looking for help. Never had Knee problems before.
Thanks,
Josh
Since the end of the season when we started squatting constantly I’ve developed a ton of ton of knee pain. For me, attacking the muscle between the shin and the calf on both sides has really helped. I like the double lacrosse ball, or two balls in a long sock so I can really get around the shin. It’s been the only thing that has worked for me. I’ve tried voodoo, ice and everything else. I’d say the lacrosse ball and icing after lifting heavy are the best… for me. Worth a shot
Yo Josh I got you something
http://www.mobilitywod.com/2012/12/knee-pain-got-full-knee-powerrange-of-motionpotential-terminal-knee-extension-part-3/
When I had some serious knee pain at the top of my patella I would always come after working out and make it hard to walk, too. Do you do any rolling on your IT, hips, or quads? At the time I didn’t really take care of my muscles as I should be. I spent everyday, about 15 minutes a day rolling on those areas and eventually the knee pain went away. If you’re not rolling out your legs, especially your quads, then that is where I would start.
PAUL ESTRADA!!
So I purchased the MDUSA competition weight set for when I get home and it is in kilos. Seeing as how we only have pounds out here, I’m just going to call them kilos (with some rounding), for my purposes so I can learn to speak Olympic Weightlifting instead of being confused all the time when I get home. Actual weights will be off some but for my purposes out here, it works for me.
1) 107
a) 140 (decided to get the reps instead of drop the weight, so front squats were singles and back squats were doubles with about 20s of rerack time in between each “mini” set … not feeling confident either squat max has gone up based off of today’s performance)
b) done C2B
Cond) 1.20, 1.25, 1.32, 1.31
#TheOutlawWayAfghanistan
Aw man Nick! I look to your score everyday as a comparison and now you’re gonna make me do math by putting it in kilo’s?!?!?!?
Lol real easy to convert kilos to lbs. Multiply the number by 2, then move the decimal over to the left one place and add that number to what you just got when you multiplied.
Ex.
140 kg
x 2 = 280
Add 28.0 to 280 = 308
I’ve been hanging out with some oly lifters from LSUS lately so I’ve had to do this conversion a lot haha
haha thanks buddy I do realize that but I wanted to give Nick some shit, I mean I dont want to actually do math work…
Make it easier and times it by 2.2, it’s what I was told and do
Finally someone else posting in kg!

Outlaw Progress Update
Started Outlaw on 130608, right after watching Ger barely miss the Games. Here’s my progress and testimony:
BS: 315# to 355#. Increase of 40# or 12.6%.
Sn: 160# to 185#. Increase of 25# or 15.6%.
C&J: 225# to 235#. Increase of 10# or 4%.
Before following Outlaw, I was following the gym’s programming. No attention paid to “offseason”, “preseason”, or the actual “season”. I supplemented when I could with some WL, but that was just me floundering. Any WoDs that were relatively heavy, as I’m only 170#, killed me both physically and cardiovascularly. Since starting Outlaw, “heavy” WoDs of the past are no more. I am not elite, and I will not make Regionals as an individual as some of you have and will. My goal is to make my box’s Regionals team, and thanks to Rudy, Spencer, Poppa, and all of you who post your times for making me better and hopefully closer to achieving my goals.
Hey J. Cheek never had a chance to introduce myself but I’m guessing you were the guy at the Outlaw camp last weekend in Columbus? Anyways, congrats on your progress- my girlfriend, Nicole, and I own CrossFit 248 in Farmington Hills and are Outlaw. Let us know if you ever want to drop in and do some work with us! (I am not trying to steal your business from PCF I promise lol)
Hey Nick,
Thanks for posting. I had been meaning to ask if you were from the area or just happened to be wearing a 248 sweatshirt randomly. Yes, you are correct in your guess that I was down at the Columbus camp, fuzzy pants and all. I would love to drop in and do some work with you two. I just added you, Nicole, and 248 on FB, so shoot me a message on there and we can try and see what works. I live in Plymouth, so FH is a little hike, but once a week or ever so often would definitely beat training by myself. Appreciate the post again, and I look forward to getting together.
