Ive had quad tendonitis on and off for years. I put most of the blame on the whole "shove your knees out" teaching. I squatted for ten years with no knee pain. Then for some reason I felt I should try something new. Bad mistake. Been doing box squats lately and its been helping. Also transitioned from high bar to low bar. I think long term that will be better for my knees
I have found over many years that the best solution is almost always to WORK through the injury. Probably means different or modified exercises with lower weights...but laying off usually makes it worse. Have a great PT tat has taught me a lot through nexk, shoulder, back, knee pains.
I got rid of my patella tendonitis by doing single-leg eccentric-only decline squats on a 25° board whilst holding a dumbbell in one hand. Nothing else worked. Studies have proven this to be the best conservative method too.
Knee tendonitis is a bitch to deal with. If you think you're smart, you will of course rest the knee. This totally does not work. In fact, it may make it worse. Now that I think about it, you can bet it will become worse with rest. The tissues will degrade further and if you are a trained individual, you will detrain. It was my first chronic physical injury. It developed because of running, which is a stupid activity (if you ask me) if done for long distances. Back then, I thought it was very healthy to run. It's an activity that is just begging for an overuse injury, especially because it's an activity many untrained people engage in as a sort of way to get in shape/fit/healthy/get sweaty/whatever it is they get out of it. It made me feel good, which is what I got out of it. You get in these bright Chinese-made shoes you have to pay a lot for and there you go slamming your joints on the tarmac or something. If you're lucky, you have woods nearby. I had never done any resistance training and so I was untrained and thought running would do me much good. Cough cough (no corona, knocks on wood). Well, to be honest, it led me down this path of training. I learned knee tendonitis will heal if you strengthen the musculature, tendons, and ligaments. Not sure if heal is the right word, because I learned the damage is done, but you can remodel the tendon around the messed-up tissue. It took me a while, and at times it flared up when I didn't know much about good programming. I have now been years without it ever rearing its ugly head and I squat 2-3 times a week (back and front squats; I've never done box squats) and also do bodyweight squats each day in daily life. When I suffered from the knee tendonitis (patellar), I was REALLY depressed. This is a long story not worth sharing here. It was a stabbing pain when I squatted and got to a certain depth, which was not deep at all, then I had to get up, which was also hugely painful. This did not invite to squat at all, but that's what I learned to do. One last piece of advice and then I'll shut my trap: Squatting only helped me get rid of the knee tendonitis if done deep. Maybe just below parallel is enough, but I squat a lot deeper. The resting squat is what really helped me: just sitting in a deep squat for minutes, like many Asians do.
@@JuanCarlosLopez-tj4hh Just do sets of 5 with good form and stay well within pain threshold at first and gradually build up with 5 lbs per training session. Two days rest in between. Three working sets with the same weight should be enough each session. Your pain will be gone in no time at all.
@@Fortress333 are you saying box squat depth is not adequate for patella strengthening? Because I've being building up these on strength by 2.5kg every session like you said
@@JamesFeey I would caution against front squats, but I think box squats can be helpful in getting stronger, sure. I don't do them personally. They are perfectly fine to overload. I strongly suggest do back squats without a box. Go below parallel; pausing at the bottom is very helpful to reinforce good technique. Be sure to start light, so that the squat itself causes no increasing pain during the training and not afterward. Squatting below parallel is perfectly normal for the human body and it should cause no pain.
I tried all of this shit, dry needling box squats, strengthening my knee with bands, PT 3 times a week, resting it, working it, scraping it, icing it. Just had TENEX back in September to remove the scar tissue off of my patellar tendon along with PRP and it's finally gone away. Still had some pain left and found out my Plica in my knee was getting pinched in my joint along with a rough and pointy/jagged underside of my knee cap. So while my knee was a little more than just tendonitis, look to TENEX if you can't get it to go away after trying everything else.
If I remember correctly, Starting Strength advises a shitload of chin-ups to really aggravate the joint some more, leading to a dramatic increase in the body's effort to repair the tissues in the elbow. I'm not joking. I had never heard of this advice when I had elbow tendonitis, but applied the same method out of sheer frustration years ago. At the time, I thought I was doing something stupid (I really wanted to do chin-ups, despite the pain), but to my surprise it worked. Never suffered from the elbow tendonitis again. Of course, afterward I changed my training approach, because the issue developed because of too much volume and not enough recovery and adaptation.
@@Fortress333 I remember it being a bunch of singles. Then you start doubles, and so on. I've heard it on the Q&A, I just like how well-done the videos are.
Rip's advice, so far as I can tell, is to perform several (5?) sets of chin ups to inflame the entire forearm and elbow, and that after about five weeks the inflammation caused will also help to cure the elbow tendonitis.
Would love to hear your thoughts on squatting with peroneal tendonitis / peroneal subluxation, and if there's a way to fix it. My peroneal tendon has been bothering me during squats for the last 2 months or so, it started to hurt so bad to the point where I couldn't walk on the affected foot for around 3 days, then the pain started to slowly lessen, but the tendon still slips out of the ankle groove from time to time. I've heard this is very common in runners, but I never run. I can't tell if the problem was caused by bad form or something else. Unrelated, love your videos, and the podcast even more, keep up the good work :)
Have you tried anchoring a band to a fixed object low about the height of the bend of your ankle then put your foot at the height of the bend of the ankle into the band turn around walk away from the fixed object until you can’t any more the band pulls or flosses the joint then bend the ankle where knee goes past toes , many times 15 - 20 one or 2 second reps. It worked for me, in addition to various massage treatments,, ie foam roller , hyper volt, e stem, manual massage ect heat on the peroneal muscle. This is such an annoying injury. The band I think has to be kinda thick and heavy 75 lbs plus of tension.
Andrei Grozea sorry if the description is confusing , the origin of that foot pain is often times up in the peroneal muscles , starting at the top of the fibula attachment and palpate down , you’ll catch hot spot or two or a lot more ? Good luck 👍
Squat has always been and always will be a hip Dominant exercise . If you wanted a squat some heavyweight you have to have good develop hips the front leg muscle just go along for the ride and you can get all sweaty and wet later developing your front quads
Since I have switched to low bar squat's my knees have felt great but a couple of weeks ago I developed Bursa in my Left knee. Do you think the box would be better for me.
Break at your hips at the top of the squat. You should not be initiating a squat without breaking at your hips first to activate your glutes, hamstrings, and quads.
@@plazahotelmusic Give them a try but for me box squats hurt my knee more..it seems to put a lot of twisting torque on the outside of my knee..I have found that doing reverse lunges zercher style with a barbell has been a great replacement zero knee pain ..
What do you recommend for osteoarthritis in the shoulder? Military presses don’t bother it much, but bench press absolutely kills it and as a result my bench max has dropped heavily
Not really, focusing on the heel with cause imbalances. Try focusing on the hips going back, the back will be(come) less vertical and the weight will still be balanced mid-foot. At least that’s what works for me. The heels cue is very easy to misinterpret
John Becker easiest answer for you is this... midfoot drive is NOT the master cue. It is a MAJOR cue and an awesome one. But it’s not the only one. I’ve recently taught the deadlift to someone and I always think pull the bar, but she got it right after saying ‘stand up’. Her bone lengths meant this applied the force in the right way for her with this cue. Make sense? My box squat is not a foot focused movement but a pure hip move.
Rip has talked about this in two podcast episodes (one of them with Michael Matthews). Do 20 sets of chin ups every 4 days, with whatever amount of reps you can manage to keep up for all those sets.
Would box squats be good for someone that has had a total knee replacement. I'm 4 month's into mine and i can squat low bar with minimal to no pain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks , Nick
Doing normal squats would be more beneficial if you can do them, especially when doing the novice linear progression as you probably should be doing after an extensive knee surgery. As an intermidiate or advanced lifter you could think about using them as a lighter squat variation.
Thanks for the info hast91 and Mitch Schutter. I'm in the gym this morning and squatting normal as recommended and everything is working fine...no pain !!
@@Cosmos_Mariner it's going great . I'm squatting 235 , deadlifting 285 , benching 195 . Not big numbers but nor bad for 67 year old wth knee replacement.

Don't fear getting knee replacement just back to training immediately after physical therapy and you'll be fine and not old and weak !!
is there a thing as shoulder tendonitis? i am really keeping my weights down on the bench (60kg max.) so that i can barely avoid pain fit good form. overhead movements like the press or snatch don't bother me that much on the contrary. what can be done in my case, rippetoe san?
Golfer's Elbow? Keep a neutral wrist during your lifts... my problem started with gripping the bar wrong during chins.
