Here is something I noticed.

I have jumper's knee in my left knee. My right knee doesn't give any pain anymore.

When I flex my left quad, the VMO and the VL flex at nearly the same time.
When I flex my right quad, the VMO clearly flexes before the VL.

It is my understanding that the VMO works to stabilize the knee. I have a hypothesis that part of the reason why I have jumper's knee in the left knee is because of this firing pattern. I think I need to work on getting my VMO to fire first, like it does in my right quad.

I guess when I jump, the VMO contracts slightly before the rest of the quad, acting to stabilize the knee and prevent it from injury. Could it be that since my left quad's firing pattern is a little off, it is aggravating my injury to some extent? Or rather, could it be it is letting the rest of my quad put more tension on my patellar tendon?

I've made a video to show what I mean below. It should be at 1080p once it's done processing:

I'd appreciate any insight, and maybe some of you will find this interesting.

How many hours of sleep do you usually get at night, and how many in a pre-workout nap?

Where is this Dan Pfaff vid posted? Would like to see it.

Good article Joel.

yea it's not like he's overanalyzing like I used to do back in the day... i think raptor is more known for that, simply because i didn't post my over analyses as much 

i buy tubs of whey discounted at ~  $16-18/ tub..

Lol I've had them for i think 2 years and don't know what to do with them. they're small on me too. a 9.5 would be perfect for my feet, even a 10.0 is fine.

Are olympic lifting shoes supposed to fit VERY snug?

What are your recommended weightlifting shoes? Is http://wlshoes.com/ a good review site for weightlifting shoes?

rogue do-win have done me right so far and they cost less than $100 when i bought 'em. that website looks solid, actually, thanks for the link. might try for those wei-ruis when the do-wins die.

kingfish can address higher-end shoes if he feels like it.

I'll sell you my 2011 do-wins for $85. Only wore them once. They are literally brand new still. You can even smell it.
