    First injury in a while.

    So we were finding our max back squat today in Crossfit and I had 365 racked and when I got Ass to Grass and started to push up, my knee popped. Now it's not an intolerable pain, just annoying and "tight". There's a little bit of swelling but not much. Tried doing a weighted lunge about 15 minutes later and it just wasn't happening. It wasn't so much the pain, but it felt like my leg just couldn't take the stress and gave out before the pain kicked in. Any ideas? My coach said worst case scenario, a minor tear in the ACL or IT band. I'm guessing that I'll need to take it easy for a week or two and hopefully it'll be better. Haven't had a knee injury in a decade and that was a hyper-extension to the same knee.

    knee injuries are scary. I would go get it checked out. I worried I might fuck my knees up on heavy days. I used to deadlift 500+lbs for reps but my back was constantly giving me problems. I stick to rack pulls now days. I'm scared one day my knees will quit enduring 500lb squats. I should prolly purchase some knee wraps.

        I'm no doctor but IMO there's no such thing as a "minor" tear when it comes to the ACL. Every time I've heard of an ACL tear it's required surgery of some sort.

          Apparently you can just have a small tear. When you hear about it in sports it's usually fully torn and doctors have to reconnect it and that's when you're in a cast for 6 months. I can still walk around fine. Walked around all day and the only time it gave me much trouble was when I had my leg fully extended and put the majority of my body weight on it. I'm gonna give it the week and see how it feels and even if/when it feels better, go a little easy on the heavier weights for a while.

          Thanks for the input guys. If it continues to give me problems after a couple of weeks I'll have it checked out but until then, it's easy goin'.

            Could also be a really bad strain. When I was playing hs football another lineman fell into my knee. It hury like hell for a day or so. Followed by about a month of my knee just not feeling stable. It ended up being just fine after a while.

              Good news I guess. Knee hasn't really been giving me any trouble. Was sore for a few days after the pop but now it pretty much feels normal.

                Good deal, but I would still be cautious when doing anything involving that knee. Even with minor injuries, once injured, it's easier for it to happen again.
