Do you have pain in your patellar or quad tendon when lifting? This is one of the most common training pains for the strength athlete. The patellar and quad tendon are the two small tendons that run above and below your knee cap or patella. Tendon pain here is often caused by two things: an overload of too much training volume or intensity or an unexpected spark of training stress (such as jumping from 3-5 days a week of lifting or returning from a 2-week vacation and jumping right back into hea

Box squats are a great modification to the full squat, espeically for those who are dealing with quad and patellar tendon pain. Box squats allow you to load the body in a recognizable way while controlling for a few important factors. First, you can control for the amount of depth by setting the box to a predetermined height to limit pain (this will usually be around a parallel depth). Box squats also decrease the total tension placed on the quad and patellar tendons as a powerful turnaround in

In order to truly fix a quad or patellar tendon injury, we eventually need to expose the tendon to more and more load (i.e. more weight on the bar). We however, want to make sure we're loading our tendons the right way and not exposing them to too much force which could continue the injury process. If your pain while performing these exercises is at or below a 3/10 on a scale of 0-10 (10 being the worst pain you can think of) you should be able to start these.

The first step for treating patellar or quad tendon pain is a simple exercise called an isometric. This is an exercise where the muscle contracts but the joint doesn’t move (what happens if you have you leg straight and flex your quads). Isometrics have been shown to reduce pain for upwards of 45 minutes after performing.They also spark the ability of the quad to kick back on, as it is usually inhibited in strength output due to pain. An easy way to perform an isometric on your own is with a wal

How to fix patellar tendonitis. Key takeaway: the spanish squat isometric performed 5 sets of 45 second holds often decreases patellar tendon pain in the short term while you slowly rebuild your tendon capacity with HEAVY slow tempo strength exercises. If this does not change your pain at all or makes it worst - you likely dont have tendinopathy & have a different kind of knee pain. #kneepain #basketball #volleyball #legday #gym #fitness #jumpersknee #jumping

A more advanced thoracic spine mobility drill is the deep squat with rotation movement. This can be a great exercise to include in your warm up before any overhead barbell lifting like snatches. Start by sitting in a deep squat. Take your hand and grab your opposite foot while you rotate your upper body as shown. You should feel a light stretch in your mid back during this movement. Recommended sets/reps: 2 sets of 3-5 rotations on each side. Full video on how to improve thoracic spine mobility:

This motion is one not talked about enough. When you go into a squat, your tibia internally rotates and leans to the side (a motion called abduction). If you've got a side to side difference in this motion, it can lead to uneven forces on the knee and eventual injury. Today I want to share with you a quick case study of my friend Ed who was dealing with right knee pain and the process of uncovering his tibial rotation problem. Shout out to @edpilgrimdpt for being my patient in this video, @3bsci
