    __________________________________
    Your tendons speak the language of load. Depending on a number of factors (such as how intense you have trained throughout your years as an athlete, the medications you take, whether or not you have diabetes, etc.) your body will have adapted your tendon to a certain set point of strength called the “load tolerance” level.
    Training loads placed on the tendon that do not severely exceeded this set level create a cellular response in the tendon (that can actually be seen by ultrasound) that will return to normal in 2-3 days given proper recovery methods (this is the normal time frame for the adaption “replenishment” process to take place). However, if the load placed on the tendon is too extreme or if there is inadequate recovery in the athlete’s training program, this balanced process is disrupted. When this occurs the process tips from being adaptive to pathological. A spark is lit and the injury process begins.
    Young athletes (under the age of 30) who are involved in sports that include sudden explosive and repetitive movements of the knee are most susceptible to developing an injury at either the quad or patellar tendons. Movements that use the tendons of the knee as a spring (such as a jump) place significantly more load on the tendon than a slower movement like a squat. Historically, this is why sports such as basketball and volleyball that involve a high amount of jumping have such a high incidence of this injury (a reason why this injury is also known as “jumper’s knee”).
    The teaching I present today is based primarily from the renowned work of professor Jill Cook. Check out this blog post for a more in-depth discussion on everything I discussed today along with more ideas for the rehab process: squatuniversity.com/2018/01/0...

      I ran a Smalov Jr. squat with a 500 max and got 535 upon completion. Now it feels like my left MCL is extremely irritated. I’m left footed and played soccer so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was loose already. However I’ve run the program before without this level of pain. It never swole up and there was never a moment of sharp pain. It hurts to go up and down stairs now. What are your thoughts?
      Thank you for your videos.

    Anybody who reads this, who had months maybe years of pain in the knees, listen up. Few months ago I was depressed, thinking I could never squat again because my knees were f*ckd, that was a lie. Your tendons are probably so weak because you sat to long doing nothing that a basic squat on body weight even hurts. Listen homies, if you are trying to fix your knees, searching desperately on the internet no worries. I had to start from 0 that means walking longer and longer times doing harder parcours, after weeks I was trying some squats on bodyweight only till 45 degrees in the angle. Each weeks build and make your tendons stronger, now I squat 40kg without a single problem or not even feeling pain and im still going. I hope that someone out there who reads this with patellar tendon problems reads this and has to know it will be all good get your ass up and start working. I had it hard to those times but you’ll get there buddy!

      @@andysoto1266 lol 2 years later, yes, my legs are working like they used to. I learned a lot true time, muscles can recover in a few days/weeks , tendons recover over a much longer time months/years. But I still have to stretch en start very gentle before every fitness workout. Warming up your legs starting very slow with body weight, do a litle bit of stretching so tension on your muscles and tendons goes away a bit. But also a lesson I learned, pain is not always a bad thing, wel it is, it is your body that tells you to stop. But when recovering from tendonitis in knees or shoulders etc etc, you use pain as an indicator of how you are performing. Lets say you do some exercises but you stay below a pain threshold of pain 4/10. You see that you wil receive the same small pain symtomps every time but you wil see also that you wil improve of function. What i’m trying to say is that u squat 10kg/lb at a pain level of 3/10 but next week you wil have a pain level of 3/10 but you can already squat 20kg/lb. And so you start. And 1 last thing, have patience, build up your tendons/muscles again brick by brick, steady and slow you dont have to rush. Let all the small work compound over time. When your at your deepest point build up very slowly and excentrick. Start with wall sitting, time it, 30 seconds, 3 days passed, you start again but you do 40 seconds etc etc. You will see you will grow over time. If you’re having to much pain lets say 7/10 you quit instantly and you take a bit less time or less weight. And spoken about ice, I placed some ice on my knees after a workout or only when it feels very hot, but over time I stopped believing in it (i cant say it helped), but I think it helped by not using it (it’s just an opinion) . Also because ice and cold temperature thightens up everything, shrinks the blood vessels which means no more supply of white blood cells etc etc which might cause an unsufficient healing proces of your body. I hope this helps you, or anyone who reads this. I know the strugle, i was strugling with this pain for over a year and 5 months. Just believe in the proces and believe in yourself, relax everything is going to be alright just build brick by brick and dont rush. Good sleep, a lot of stretch to make the tension on your tendons go away and just relax, stretching is important btw!

    Awesome info. One small adjustment in the Bulgarian split squat would be to balance your leg on a trx. That allows your hind leg going further backward, reducing the angle of your leading keg, making it more vertical. With a fixed base for the hind leg, there's involuntary forward movement of the front leg, putting stress on the tendon. I've had patellar tendonitis for years, and the trx box squat is by far the best exercise.

    For last half of a year I was struggling with lunges, felt pain in my left knee during the exercise. I stopped doing this exercise and thought that my knee will heal and I will be able to do it again, but I was wrong, 3 days ago I tried lunges and I felt pain again. The same day I found this exercise and I tried it (but didn't expect anything because my knee was already in pain), few days later I tried it again and right after it I did few sets of slow body-weight lunges. I have not felt any pain, looks like this is working. Will see how it goes, will try couple more times and will add weights.

    I used to squat pretty heavy (heavy for myself anyway) I got to 160kg. Shortly after I started feeling a sharp pain right in the middle of my knee cap when I squat. My job as a concreter always has me squatting and one day I squatted down then stood back up and it was during the motion of me standing that my knee felt like a sharp needle went through it. This all happened in 2016 and since then it comes and goes. Im about to get my own gym set (Force USA G12) and I want to be able to warm up before performing squat exercises at home.

    Don't know that this will get seen by the channels owner but I'm 27, played college soccer (been playing year round since I was 8yrs old) and I had such bad Patellar Tendonitis it manifested in a lengthy tear in my tendon that "required" surgery (this was when I was 19 and a freshman in college). I'm now dealing with the EXACT same amount of pain I was in prior to partially tearing my right patellar tendon. However, I stumbled across this video a few days ago and I'm already feeling confident about my recovery. I can't help but feel that if this info were available to me when I was 19 I couldve avoided an unneeded surgery. Thanks tons for whoever made this video, I'll be using this moving forward!

    The bit about the tendons being like springs, and that they respond mostly to explosive actions is really vital to understand. If you increase your the "load" your tendon can take, then eventually the explosive stuff will be do- able. I thought my knee was back to normal when I did a 3 exercise squats, wall sit, lunge workout, but as soon as I did 10-15 minutes running, my knee swelled up, and it felt weak and unstable. But eventually what my tendon can take will be so high that it can handle explosive activity again.

      become truly awake. wake up your spirit through Jesus that the true way God gave unto us to connect with him again and not to leave our spirits to sleep which can become very dangerous, in danger of hell fire after death, but if you want go to heaven and connect with God receive Jesus Christ the God out of love gave unto us don't ignore this love there are consequences if you do, don't waste your life that's temporary but use it to serve the Lord where you wont regret your life on this earth to the afterlife that lasts forever after death and when received Jesus you will be surely assured of heaven eternally after death, and how you receive Jesus?...
      If you want to go to heaven and trying to get yourself saved and want to serve God whose your creator, there actually a step to truly become saved once your believe in God and believe in Jesus the son that he died on the cross that your sins may be forgiven and rose again to live in your heart., which is mentioned in this comment explaining that you cant enter heaven unless you receive Jesus. if you want to do that and change and become a child of God pray this prayer to God.
      Romans 10:9
      That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
      Put your left hand on your heart to represent your spirit and right hand to the Lord to show your serious, and pray along.
      Dear God, I admit that I'm a sinner. I believe that your son Jesus died on the cross that our sins may be forgiven. God i repent of all the sins I have done. i ask for your forgiveness and i ask that all of my sins may be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. thank you Lord for the blood of Jesus that my sin are now washed away. and i thank you that you have forgiven me, Jesus I accept you into my life and heart. thank you God for you son and that I'm now a child of God. thank you that my name is in the book of life and I'm now going to heaven, i will worship you and you only Lord, i now declare that Jesus is my personal Lord and savior, Thank you God for my salvation.
      for further guidance into your Christianity start to follow the ways of God and don't go backs to the ways you used to live, drinking alcohol, smoking, and all sins. but follow the ways of Christ you can start by buying and reading the bible and asking God for a church for you, you can start being Guided by the Family of God Church ruclips.net/user/theafricanrevival

    Hey coach, if the pain gets worse instead of better, by how much should we regress the exercise volume and intensity?

    Cured my own Patellar Tendonitis, got it from one session of squats where I thought I’d try squat shoes out (I’m a bare footed squatter), went quite heavy and my patellar inflamed for months.
    I got rid of the squat shoes and carried on squatting, through the pain. Upped the frequency of paused squats. I even made big PRs through the period of having the inflammation. 3 months later I’m completely pain free.
    My advice is to squat through the pain and alter squat frequency. Might sound like bad advice but it worked for me.
    Peace!

      I did this for about 3 weeks and it helped a lot my knees rarely hurt anymore but during my basketball season they did start to hurt again I think it was just due to so much practice and playing I took a break and rested started to lift more and do plyometrics I put on muscle and now my knees rarely hurt
      If you’re reading this and are a younger athlete I think it’s most likely growing pain it sucks but you’ll get better and these workout’s should help I grew a few inches from the time I originally wrote this comment I’m 6’4 and think I’m done growing at 18 but we’ll see
      Looking back now going into my senior year if I could go back is start earlier on hitting the gym and doing plyometrics if you’re a younger athlete the earlier you start the stronger you’ll be and you’ll be jumping out of the gym If that’s your goal
      Sorry for the long ass answer and life story but maybe this will help 😂

    I had this pain ever since I remember, even in elementary school. Sometimes it got worse, sometimes it almost vanished. The worst was in puberty when I grew. But in the recent time the pain has been almost unbearable. I tried your exercises and I feel no fucking pain for the first time in YEARS. I was already on the edge on entirely giving up my life because even standing still was causing too much pain. I am gonna do these exercises every single day and pray that my situation improves in the future.

    Ok small sample size so far but:
    I have pt on both knees. The right one is worse since it’s my primary jumping leg. Ive had it for a long time and it’s been bugging me sooo much. Changed my whole style of play when playing basketball as I would try to reduce jumping to a minimum. Patella tendon would start hurting like hell after like 10min of sitting with bent knees, and I would have to sleep with legs extended etc… all that is to say: it is (was??) quite severe. Been doing the exercises recommended here for about two weeks plus stretching my quads a lot with kneeling lunges with an elevated back leg. I had two training sessions this week and my pain has gone down so so much. Today it struck me after my bball training as I went up the stairs in my apartment- I didn’t even feel my knees! Usually I have to use the balustrade to support me on my way up.
    Thanks a ton! This is so helpful!!
