Is 2 weeks of ibuprofen (you said 3-4 weeks max) enough and I should just let it heal by itself after 1 more week of taking ibuprofen? With this pain I might need it for 2 more weeks. Is it possible...

I've been needing the Ibufrofen a bit less frequently over the past 6 days. It's been 2 weeks with the pain, 6 days on ibuprofen (300mg 2x a day, one day I took it 3x). Pain is still there without...

Nice volume on the 330 deadlifts, especially since you had good form on the last 2 sets. I bet you will check in on no.1 these first few months to help with lifting advice and support. That'll help...

Yeah the Ibuprofen is really helping with the pain. I take it 2 hours before my upper workouts (and then later at night) and I don't feel any pain when walking or going down stairs. It's still kind...

Yeah it is much more than wear and tear. The pain got worse and it is from hyperextending my knee by foam rolling the bone of the knee. That was dumb since I now realize foam rolling is only for soft...

Good to know it's nothing major. Like rallyum said it probably is knee-hyper extension from foam rolling the bone area of the knee. I read about hyperextension and they said sometimes athletes need...

I probably did because when I was stretching it (after realizing there was pain) I could hear a slight crackling sound when I would extend my leg out forwards. I just hope it doesn't take too long to...

But you don't think it will come to that right? It's not like I banged my knee on a hard surface or did anything crazy. As a doctor is your initial feeling that this will resolve itself within a few...

Thanks. I know you're a doctor on top of a serious lifter so your opinion is definitely appreciated. So you don't think that this pain (even walking down the stairs of my house hurts and aggravates...

Lots of volume on the 308 deads.

I have a question, I recently hurt my knee from doing something dumb: foam rolling my knee -even though it was painful to foam roll the area- for like a week and a...

Not yet but I have been doing some stretching and attempting body weight squats to see where the pain level is at. How long do you think an injury like this can last for?

I don't think I did any...

Nice, I tried that with the adjustable shower jet. My knee hurts less than yesterday which is great but I might have to wait another few days minimum til I even attempt a deload leg workout.

Then...

I really do think it's from the foam rolling. I never have pain even after heavy squats and deadlifts. It wasn't a slight pain, it hurt pretty bad. Not excruciating but it hurt enough that I'd hold...

Thanks.

Remember my calf pain from wear and tear? Well that pain went away with some foam rolling + time. But now for some reason my right knee (same leg as calf pain) is hurting me. It's the top...

For the mental aspect of heavy deadlifts...I warmup and take enough rest then blast some heavy music that motivates me to put all my energy into the lift.

+lots of chalk for my hands.

Solid Deadlift session! If 313 is comfortable form wise to practice then you should be ready for a heavy week again soon.

After all you did to take no.1 under your wing at the gym he stole your...

Today was my first performance week day for legs. I didn't gain an ideal amount of weight in the past month (1lb not 2-2.5 since I was out of town for 2 weeks in July not tracking cals) and the 2...

some extra food can help in terms of getting you ready to set some new PR's!

this week is my first 'performance week' (basically try for PR's) since starting the powerlifting scheme 3 weeks ago....

If your goal is lets say 95% @ 3x2 reps on performance week and you get 2 reps for 3 sets OR more than 2 reps on a single set then you would add 10lbs to your squat/deadlift 1RM for the next 4 week...
