It's the heavier loads that present the problem.
My legs and knees can still handle intense work. I use bio freeze before training ( hell, my wife says I bathe in that crap), use knee sleeves which help. Have not had MRI but don't believe any tear. No pain under patella or at sides of knee. Now, pain seems to be right where vastus lateralis and medialis attach at knee. An old fart going up in weight a little isn't a four alarm fire! Quick hx, never had knee pains through years of heavy (for me) squatting.
What makes it worse and what makes it better (other than rotating exercises / stimuli and not going to heavy)?. What have you been doing to reduce the pain / treat it?. What part of your knee hurts? Deep in the joint, some part(s) of the joint or around the joint, or under the patella?ĭo you have a medical or self-diagnosis for this pain?. So now I've got people complaining that FT has made them too strong. I want to keep progressing but at my stage of the game, I need to protect my knees. I have tried pre exhaust super sets of leg ext and leg curl but not sure of effect over the long haul. My thoughts were to raise my load reps to 20-25 and change MR's to 6x8. I can handle moderate loads on various leg movements but heavier stuff leaves me aching. Problem is as my leg strength is going up, my knees are aching. I'm into my 4th blast and the program is almost too good as my strength is rising on almost every lift. FT has been a godsend in self regulation and changing stimulus in an orderly way to avoid excessive joint pain. Several surgeries over the years (back twice, shoulder), but have always been able to bounce back. I'm 54 and been at this lifting stuff a long time. Overall, find the exercises that hit your lagging muscle groups in ways you've not and make sure you're focused on not calling on other muscles to help move the weight. (You can even log what you're using here so you can come back and test yourself now and again with the same exercises and pump set techniques.) Make sure you're creating an occlusion effect on these, too - continuous reps the entire time. Use the pump sets to brutalize yourself, too.

Your delts are already a strong point, so focus on OH pressing to add some extra work for the triceps.Ĭhoose triceps and biceps exercises that create a deep (safe stretch): OH triceps extension, seated DB biceps curls (incline bench), unilateral cable curls with a Free motion machine set up with the weight pulling from behind you just a bit. Work within the program, too for arm exercise selection. Focus your MR's on exercises that isolate you pec. You're probably a "delt presser" meaning you use anterior delts to a large extend on chest pressing movements. Put isolation exercise first on Chest loading sets. I've covered this in the course of this thread (a few times now), but I'd put that option down the list for now. So could i progress through a blast taking my chest and arms up to tiers 2 and 3 over time but leaving the other bodyparts at tier 1? For example, I have 28" thighs, a 50" chest measurement (mostly from my back) but then 18" arms.
Shoulders are nice and round, proportional, back is very wide, thighs are big (this is all relative for ME of course).

In my case, my chest and arms really need some growth.
