The glutes and hamstrings are relatively easy to work without bending your knees. The quads are pretty much impossible though.

Hello guys!

Got a question, if anyone had similar problems/ knows leg-exercise types I will refer to, please help me out.

So basically, i got a medical issue, + Show Spoiler +

So he prescribed some suppliments, some gel, and forbade me to squat and do any kind of leg exercize that involves puttin weight on my knees, and/or croocks my knees significantly.

So i'm allowed pretty much exercizes that i can do with straight legs, of which i dont know many. Well, basically only the one for calves (standing calves exercize iirc?).

Can anyone give me tips how to work legs, without any sort of squatting?

The treatment of trochlear dysplasia can be very difficult. Patients who have a lateral patellar dislocation have a much higher risk of recurrence when they have trochlear dysplasia. Because the severity of trochlea dysplasia can run from minor to severe, treatment options are also varied. They can include a reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament, a tibial tubercle osteotomy, a trochleoplasty, where the distal aspect of the femur is cut and reshaped to create more of a normal groove, a distal femoral osteotomy, and other associated treatments. Thus, no one patient has the same treatment as another, and a thorough workup is necessary to determine the best course of action, if any, for a particular patient with trochlear dysplasia.

Did you get X-Rays/MRI to diagnose this problem? No gel or supplement is going to fix what sounds like a structural problem. Life is going to put weight on your knees, you bend them every time you run or stand up from a chair. I would find a second opinion, preferably from a doctor that works with athletes. Sounds like you might have trochlear dysplasia and there are various ways to fix it:



Sounds like the whole process can take up to a year but could be worth it. If you just leave it the way it is it sounds like you'll be dealing with arthritis and not able to do anything athletic without pain for the rest of your life.
disclaimer: i'm not a doctor take all this with a very large grain of salt. I'd advise getting a second opinion

Healthy life choices! Make sure you get the moneys worth for it... Working out over lunch break, don't know if I could motivate myself to do that.

Back still hurts so I went light with higher reps today. Did the ol GVT 10x10. I guess I could've died,

Anyway, was fun. And I figured since I went and hurt myself and was gonna start my cut this month anyway I might as well keep doing that. Cutting or bulking I've only ever done strength routines, but this time I'd like to try a bodybuilding routine. Preferably one that includes or can somehow incorporate squats.

Anyone here not a powerlifter?

I'm a big believer in body building exercises for the upper body. Just don't you ever do french presses or cable crossovers. Fuck skull crushers aswell.
Squats for legs, deadlifts and shrugs for back.

SQ: 175kgx3x6
BP: 140x2x2, 150x2x2, 160x (my back slipped up wtf)

I coached my gf into a 100kg deadlift, and I think she had 10kg more (crossfit non-crazy girl)
She looked so cute I wanted to cry.

Why no skull crushers/what would you do instead?
Also, shrugs are gay. Do snatch pulls instead.
Some kid at my work gym keeps trying to do behind the back upright rows. It looks as stupid as it sounds. I don't understand.

Snatch pull is just the second pull in a snatch, right?

Skull crushers ruin elbows, because if you are strong enough you need a shitload of weight. Just like the leg extension machine ruins your knees when done heavy.

I'm talking about heavy shrugs, not fag rows.

Edit: 77.5kg muscle snatch in the morning :D

Edit 2: lol dummbell shrugs. To me that's like doing bodyweight squats and thinking you are working your leg volume because you feel the "pump"

Snatch pulls way more practical

Just do em lighter from the hang with a pause at the top for reps and your traps/shoulders/back/everything will get huge. And you won't look like you're taking it from behind while strapped to a bar that's way too heavy for you. Instead you'll get dem Lu traps
