What happens if you try to hyperextend your knee. Like really really extend it and push the knee "back"? I have found out that when I do it the VMO fires much more intense (you have to be with your feet on the ground to feel it)

I do feel my VMO like that, but I'm wondering if it means anything if the VMO fires first (like my right leg) or not.

If I try what you said, it still doesn't fire ahead of time in my left leg.

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.

Higher? I highly doubt it. If they were to practice their running jumps more, they would jump higher that way for sure.

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

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  :P

ooooh for some reason i thought you were talking about 5lb tubs.

i remember when vitamin shoppe had Ginger Bread Cookie ON 100% whey and let me tell you... it was the #1 tasting whey protein of all time for me. And I mean, it was so good, even if it wasn't a protein shake I'd buy it over and over again.










And it was $12 for a 2lb 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?

I never knew that. Wow, this is like a slap to the back of my face.
