Everytime i do leg presses or squats with my feet pointing out, it hurts my knees and doesn't feel confortable. When i changed my feet stance in the leg press so the toes were pointing to the front, it was a breeze doing them...no pain and feeling my quads burning better.
It's no good for me doing those exercises with feet pointing out.
It's because those muscles are tight and inflamed. Get a hard pvc pipe roller or something along those lines and work on your legs. Check you tube for instruction, would be under "foam rolling".
we have to figure out what works best for us...baby steps and you will get it all dialed in
Exactly. Today it was leg training and this time, on the leg extension, i didn't put my feet pointing out but i also rolled my hips so that my legs would be completly pointing out...and well, just look at my VMO's swollen!
I also tried bulgrarian split squats and it really works the internal part of the legs. I'm learning the hard way the different exercises and feet stances there is to try out so it is like a small discovery nowadays.
Made a magnetic resonance last week and today got my results: light chondromalacia which is the undersurface of teh patella being soft.
At least it is nothing about cruciate ligaments or meniscus. I feel fine and train well, but due to the small misalignment i have on my leg this may cause issue when lean mass comes in...i had bigger legs when this happened let's see what the doctor recommends and if the work on the VMO will pay off

The BSS are fantastic for working the VMO...that and lunge variations really get it for me!
