Today is day 5, after quad tendon strain/tear into right knee. What a dam drag.
No bone/ligament trouble…just soft tissue. Not serious, but painful (and boring). Really locked it (knee)down the past 4 days and stayed off it.
Back to work today, with a knee sleeve to help- braced up otherwise.
Been there. Injuries like those are a major pain in the ass.
Yup- slow and tedious I’m sure.
Back in the gym tonight, after 12 days off.
Vegas in 3 weeks- Chicago in 7 weeks.
Get things moving again, build the knee back and lean out for pool time- why not?
I’m trying to do the same thing. Vegas in May.
There you go- anything can be a ‘training goal’ ![]()
