PT disappointed that you stopped squatting = good PT
good news!
what's funny is, the alternating impacts (high vs low) is smart regardless of whether or not we're injured.
as for isometrics; no idea. there's so much conflicting research on them over the years. I think deep down everyone wants them to work and be somewhat "magical", not sure why. I'd definitely be careful pushing the envelope with really intense overcoming/yielding isometrics.
For patella-femoral issues, in addition to all of the p-chain stuff they want you to do, TKE's are so effective.
Cool about the squatting. Was he mad that you stopped the movement itself or the movement under load? (or not sure?). It's such an important human movement so, removing it from our activities of daily living has been a bad evolutionary mistake. heh!
pc!
No. I did JS on weds, lifting fine (PR) on friday including squats and RDLs. Hurt my back saturday jumping. When i jump to touch the bar on the roof it forces me land akwardly (I think on my heels instead of forefoot). It's definitely the dumb jumps. The heavy JS are safe, i dont get high enough to land on my heels. With lighter ones the landing is more risky.
I played pick-up last Sunday but haven't been to the gym or done any other conditioning stuff this week. It was unintentional, but I'll just treat the last 4 days as a deload. I would've trained tonight except I've got my grandmothers birthday and we're going out with the family to an all you can eat restaurant so I know I'll feel sick if I try and exercise after eating.
gnarly.

beautiful.
Feeling mildly depressed about my knee and slightly anxious ahead of my meeting with the sports doc next week. It's funny how much I associate being able to lift heavy weights with being me and being normal. Even though I can do everything else it's an odd place to be. There's a certain level of limbo that I'm. My mind is refusing to accept new goals prior to receiving the final answer on where I stand. This is even though I have always craved more upper body size which was one of my new goals in light of where I am. I wonder whether or not that goal is particularly important to me or if it's a case of I can't leg stuff so all I want to do is leg stuff. I'm thinking it's most likely the latter.
Mind you I am well aware of how minor my situation is in the grand scheme of things and the fact that I will very likely return to full training in the somewhat near future even if I do require surgery.
It has been a good time to reflect though on what is important to me about training and performance in the future. I've come to a few conclusions that will heavily influence where I go from here training-wise. I'm not solving the world's problems here but it's nice to get some clarity every now and then.
I absolutely know the feeling you're describing and I think everyone here's a bit like that. If I couldn't train for athleticism for whatever reason I just can't imagine what would fill the gap. It's weird but nothing really gives me enjoyment the way training does. I often find my general mood is pretty much linked to how training is going - not sure if that's healthy or not!
The D is something that might require some experimentation I think.
So are you going to switch teams?
Another note: I've been taking lots of vitamin D lately.
