@JohnStrasser How do you know if it's straining the wrong part of the knee?

2017-12-09 21:26:02 UTC  

@Deleted User just a heads up as well I ordered 2 mediums and they shipped me a med and a large on accident

2017-12-09 21:26:16 UTC  

Might be worth going with sbd instead

2017-12-09 22:20:27 UTC  

@Deleted User buy either SBD, STrong, or Rehband knee sleeves.

2017-12-09 22:20:58 UTC  

If you buy the cheap shit, it will do a shit job and won't last very long.

2017-12-09 22:24:08 UTC  

i have rehbands, they're good quality

2017-12-09 22:35:26 UTC  

@Nick-NJ How do you know if the sleeve isn't assisting the knee in load balancing?

2017-12-09 22:41:47 UTC  

I can usually tell by how snug the fit is and by the thickness of the sleeve

2017-12-09 22:42:30 UTC  

The best sleeves are all neoprene and are labelled in terms of whether they go on the right or left knee

2017-12-09 23:01:15 UTC  

@Deleted User know what's wrong with your knee and find the right brace for your issue

2017-12-10 01:03:13 UTC  

@JohnStrasser I'm not sure what's wrong with them, they just hurt in the joint when I squat or walk up stairs etc etc

2017-12-10 01:03:25 UTC  

Been like that for a couple of years now

2017-12-10 01:03:37 UTC  

would you say the pain is directly in the middle of you knee

2017-12-10 01:03:40 UTC  

My family has a history of knee replacements

2017-12-10 01:03:42 UTC  

Yeah

2017-12-10 01:03:47 UTC  

also does jumping hurt

2017-12-10 01:03:49 UTC  

Its in the joint

2017-12-10 01:03:57 UTC  

sounds like meniscus

2017-12-10 01:03:58 UTC  

Jumping doesn't hurt that much

2017-12-10 01:04:09 UTC  

Its not a lot of pain

2017-12-10 01:04:21 UTC  

But it's noticeable, like a bruise I guess

2017-12-10 01:04:28 UTC  

depending on how serious the tear is, its not always that painful

2017-12-10 01:04:34 UTC  

could be a minor tear

2017-12-10 01:04:35 UTC  

Interesting

2017-12-10 01:04:40 UTC  

I'll talk to a doc

2017-12-10 01:05:03 UTC  

research laterall meniscus tears

2017-12-10 01:05:31 UTC  

Thx

2017-12-10 01:47:12 UTC  

@Deleted User do you experience a lot of knee valgus when squatting?

2017-12-10 01:47:35 UTC  

Valgus? @Nick-NJ#9920

2017-12-10 01:47:58 UTC  

@Deleted User knees bent inward

2017-12-10 01:48:09 UTC  

"knocking knees"

2017-12-10 01:49:02 UTC  

Knees bent inward? Eww. That sounds like snap city

2017-12-10 03:11:52 UTC  

It's very common depending on your skeletal structure. I'm prone to valgus when squatting, and it's the main culprit of my knee pain

2017-12-10 03:14:25 UTC  

^^^

2017-12-10 03:14:43 UTC  

Gotta work on that hip strength. I started falling into it for a while But have largely fixed it bow

2017-12-10 03:14:46 UTC  

Now*

2017-12-10 03:46:46 UTC  

I have it but not much, may 3-5 degrees of it @Nick-NJ

2017-12-10 18:01:07 UTC  

@everyone Anybody here who went from being in pretty bad shape to being in pretty good shape? How long did your transformation take and what all did you do to get in shape?

2017-12-10 18:02:03 UTC  

how out of shape are you?

2017-12-10 18:02:27 UTC  

how overweight/underweight and where are your baseline lifts right now?

2017-12-10 18:16:44 UTC  

Went from being 230lbs with chest pain and a tobacco problem at the end of 2015 to 170 at my lowest a year ago. That was solely because of diet change. Sedentary lifestyle persisted for a while.
Since then I got more active, going through a few months of daily weight room work, but I lost interest in bulking and bought a road bike.
Ultimately bringing me to today where I’m more interested on cardio and endurance events and functional strength.
It all started by my feeling like shit daily and quitting tobacco and weekly drinking. Little steps and small personal victories work wonders on your willpower
