Me too! Just make sure you don't make it worse and have it turn into a full blown thing like Jane did. Rest if you need it!

No rest, no rest! I will finish stage 4 before I rest! Luckily for me it's only one more B workout.

Just go easy on the knee then during that last workout. Remember, I did "just one more set" and buggered up my back for a couple of months. You have to be careful.

Geez Jamie...... We don't want to see you hobbling around down there at the Summit. You'd better take it easy.

This is the second stage in a row that in week three I have to quit a set of some single leg movement b/c of knee pain. It kinda feels like the knee cap grinds/slides back into place and then it stops immediately when I quit doing the movement. If I go back to do body weight and try the movement I get about 4 reps before it hurts again.
What else can I tell you to help my diagnosis? |

Take care of that knee, Jamie! Your workouts are still looking great.

And how would I test that? I can stand on one foot and almost touch the butt cheek on the opposite side...  |

I did it and had no pain!! I slowed the motion down a bit and REALLY REALLY REALLY thought about firing my glutes. The ART guy the Reds see said something that really hit home with me: It's nearly impossible to get the RIGHT muscle to fire after the wrong muscle fires first. So, I kept repeating that mantra doing my best to get that glute to raise me up on the single leg movements instead of my quad/knee. I think it worked.
Interesting side note: my knees wobble a bit on almost every exercise. They wobble out to in, and not all the way through the movement, only at the top.

That's great!
Sounds like you're really getting a better workout too, stopping and making yourself activate the right muscles!

Good stuff, Jamie. I have found great improvement/less pain on BSS by firing the proper muscles and not relying on the quads to do the work. Amazingly simple, eh?
