If I'm tired at 10 reps I stop at 10 reps. No need to die with a bar on your back.

I never understood why you'd ever buy a program. There's the internet nowadays, tons of free info available, and when you think about it, it's not even that complicated. Get your squat up, practice your jumps and overload the movement with depth jumps/bounds/sprints and that's pretty much it. Get bodyfat down if it's high and that's it.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Knee buckled and made me collapse during basketball
« on: April 01, 2011, 09:30:46 am »I have had the same things happen to me while jumping several times with continued pain. I have a knee condition called bipartita patella. This means that my knee cap is in two pieces instead of 1 fused patella. I was diagnosed with this in high school and have suffered ever since then. I have avoided alot of sporting activities and lifting for a long time. I have recently got back into strengthening and basketball. The pain has come back just as before. I recently saw an orthopedic Dr. and xrays confirmed that the bipartita patella is still the same...not fused....this coupled with a weight bearing activity like jumping and or bending at the knee can cause this 2 part knee cap to rub together and cause pain under the knee. This isnt the only thing that I have uncovered with my problem. I have been getting deep tissue massages on my legs including and focusing on my IT Band. I have alot of pain and tension in the lateral leg. I mean extreme pain in those tendons with deeper pressure. I believe that this along with some other muscular tension, leg flexibility and leg weakness is contributing to my pain and or my knee giving out. I am trying to get the legs stretched out, strengthened and massaged. I am also doing some PT soon so will see what they say. I would get an Xray to see if you may be 1% of the population that has bipartita patella and go from there. Good Luck
Does your knee "click" on the side (lateral side)? Mine does and it also hurts there, and you can feel "stuff" move there when I go from full extension into say 20 degree flexion.

Yeah, it was pretty funny. The only amendaments from that text is that I kind of eat lots of sugars (like 600-800 kcal from chocolates etc) every day. Otherwise, my diet is pretty clean.

It happened to me, and happens every now and then... not to the point of falling down but you get the idea - my quad sometimes forgets to fire and lets the knee collapse forward/down... it happens. It's usually when I feel lazy, and I kind of feel lazy all the time.
If you're tired chances increase of this happening.

I don't like to test maxes too often, but I know what you mean. Currently yeah, I'm training daily, 2x per day. Will take breaks every now and then, probably tomorrow.

If Andrew does 225x50, my mind will explode and it will drain me of all the ATP-PC stores. I'll finally be able to run marathons.

Yeah that's what I was looking at - the elbows.
It's weird though that you have to relax the arms/elbows and then suddenly stiffen them for the catch... takes time...
