Squats off 315 and 265 – following Cheek’s percentages and reps bc fcuk hitting 100% today.
All,
I’ve had some pretty serious swelling in my left knee ever since the “nasty girls V2” workout we did here. It’s been 2 or 3 weeks since then and I’ve been regularly working out with a knee sleeve (cheesy one from target) on but I’m looking to get your opinions on stopping the squat program and making all the Oly lifts power? I can work through everything and the sleeve makes me feel more stable but basically when I’m at home/work doing regular stuff it bothers me and is visibly swollen. I assume it’s just fluid, etc. I’ve had this issue before and just worked through it, and it took a long while to get better. So what do anyone suggest to get me through this as fast as possible. I went from 1300 in 2013 regionals to 700 and I’d like to give it a real shot this year as I’m 31. Any input is appreciated.
31 in 2 months… lol
Not intended to be a d!ck question, but have you gotten it checked out by a Doc or a Sports Med? If so, what have they said? If not, are you able to?
Is it all squatting, or just BS or just FS? Do you normally wear a knee sleeve or only when it gets like this? Do you prehab/rehab/stretch it at home?
Without the above, I would say to rest it. This is a sport, not life. If you don’t finish the squat program, you won’t die. If you don’t go below parallel for a few weeks, you will not wither away. Rest it, ice it, work on whatever you can that doesn’t bother it, and come back in a few weeks knowing you’re healed as opposed to questioning it.
I’d say go see a doc. My shoulder was giving me pain for about 2 months. I put off seeing a real doc out of fear that they would say surgery is needed. Even dropped a few bucks on some silly chiropractor. Anyway, went to the doc last week and they gave me a cortisone shot after diagnosing shoulder bursitis. Felt fine this morning and the doc said that with bursitis the cortisone shot will be effective as long as I clean up whatever mechanics lead to the impingement.
No I haven’t seen a doc recently. I tore cartilage in this knee back in HS and that acts up every now and again. The squatting itself doesn’t hurt, honestly, it’s worst when it’s stagnant. Sitting at this desk currently, etc. I try not to wear anything unless I’ve got issues – with the exception of wrist wraps. No belts, no wraps, etc. Currently have voodoo bands and rehbands in my Rogue cart…
I BELIEVE I’ve got a pretty good handle on the issue, it is just swollen but the fluid build-up is bothersome. Maybe I’ll take it easy for a week or two and see how it feels. Murph didn’t hurt it yesterday. Squats didn’t hurt this morning. But as I said it doesn’t actually hurt and never during workouts. Just feels uber tight and is swollen.
I hate not working out. Especially my legs, it’s my weak point from years or “chest & tri’s / back and bi’s”. I wish I started CF in 2005 when i found out about it…
Thoughts on going power with the Oly’s being less stressful on the knees?
Go get it checked out. Better safe than sorry, especially if it’s bad.
I try to always go with not wearing anything unless forced to – belt only if core is giving out, sleeves if my knees have been achy, etc. I use my voodoo bands though everyday. Helps to stretch and break things up. You and I both work desk jobs, as evidenced by our constant postings and lack of work to do, so sitting sucks. However, I use the bands while I am at work at my desk…if you can’t use them at your desk, take them into a handicap stall and stretch in there 2-3 times a day…I mean, you should be in there 2-3 times anyways, so take an extra 5 minutes each time and stretch the legs.
Finally, nobody said stop working out. Just stop doing things that tend to make it hurt after the fact. Get better at HS walks, MUs, Bar MUs, strict upper body, and then, if it doesn’t hurt, do Oly but just keep it Power. You can still workout, and possibly work on the accessory movements, assuming those don’t bother you. Get creative.

Did you guys walk on the plate carry?
No, I tried to move as quickly as possible because holding that plate overhead was the worst part about this WoD. Wanted to reduce time under tension.
