pain in knees??

[brotheriron]

Started squatting heavy again, after over 6months off. Had a good day friday, but knees have been aching like mad. Anyone know how to make em stop? Or any good online knee wraps that i can order? All the ones i get seem to break
cheers

I have the same problem. I take 3 aleve before every leg workout. Seems to help. I have been squating for 22 years so it just comes with the territory. If the pain is really bad you should train light that week.Maybe go heavy every other week..

yes it is a very natural movement for me too but 600 pounds every week for 2 years took its toll. Aleve is Naproxin sodium. I am sure bthey have it in some form there.

Cheers, i will have a look around for some. Squatted 550 for 6 reps friday, nearly a pb and after a long break. Dont have strong quads really though, mainly hamstrings and glutes.

Vioxx will help also, it is a prescription anti inflammitory.

although another anti-inflammatory script--> celebrex works also

I get free samples of vioxx, so I plugged it.

Tonight made me realize that my squatting days are over. I couldn't even get past the warm-up with 225. The pain was too much. I'm not taking anti-inflammatories, too harsh on the liver. I can live with leg pressing. Aging sucks.
