Title: Knee Filling Up Again. Was It The Broad Jumps?
Post by: Gary on September 28, 2011, 11:24:48 am

I thought I had my knee effusion under control, but my left knee (still a bit more full than it should be) is acting up this morning. I don't know if it's just that I'm training again period and squatting is upsetting it. Or if the standing broad jumps I did yesterday are responsible. Maybe it's a combination with the broad jumps being the last straw..?

I did the jumps in bare feet on grass. They were pretty high impact. My knee has been fine with squatting and pulling these past couple of weeks.

no idea whether that's what did it for you, but FWIW i feel broad jumps in my knees more strongly than any other exercise i can think of.

I also have found broad jump landings to be very painful to my left knee (partial meniscus tear).  The impact absorption at an acute knee angle is what does it to me.  Much worse than any squat or VJ variation.  I've been wanting to test my brd jmp but think it might be worth finding a local HS long jump pit w/sand to land in.
