Alright, so I had been going ATG on my squats for a while now. All of a sudden last week though, around Monday, my left knee started to make a popping sound. It did not feel too good, but I pushed through my last heavy set. It wasn’t too heavy, it was the first week of Madcow’s 5x5. I just went about my daily routine until Wednesday, when I had to squat again.
My knee felt like complete shit, and started to pop again. This time it felt like my knee was on fire. I felt like it is better safe than sorry, so I made a doctor’s appt. for last Friday. He gave me two options:
Surgery or not going as deep on my squats.
He did say parallel was fine, so box squats are in, if I opt not for surgery. I wrap my knees, and warmup properly.
He also said something about my tendons not being formed right. I am at work and the paperwork is at home.
So my question is. . . What would you do???
