I had a partial tear of the patellar tendon below the actual patella a few years ago, about a 20-30% tear if I remember correctly, and there was no question about being injured....It Hurt something fierce!!! It may be a different type of pain above the patella but I if it is even an issue with the quad tendon I would think you would have a pretty good idea if it was as serious as a tear.

I should clarify. When I say above the knee. I mean about 4-6in above the patella. Its def a muscle thing.

Could just be a bit of scar tissue that is getting re-torn or whatever scar tissue does. That's happened to me in my shoulder before and it eventually works itself out.

Nate,
Go get some ART on the thing. If it's muscular, that'll help break up the crap. If it's connective tissue (and even 4-6" above the patella it still can be), it'll still help a bit. And, serious, if you have access to some leg extension machines at your gym, use'em. The blood flow alone will help. I think it was big Dan McKim saying that was a huge boost for his overall training at one point too. |

I'll give the leg extensions a try. I havent done them in forever. Sounds like a good idea. Both quads are affected now, so I doubt its injury related. Also, I am getting a DTM weekly, and am going to not squat for a couple weeks. I'll hit DL pretty hard instead. |

TKE work and even the frowned upon leg extensions have helped my tendonitis. And a general improvement in my anterior leg strength, I believe, helped me block better this past season. New PRs in the hammers, weights and even open stone, after 10 seasons in. Bear in mind, I am a squat weakling and was very posterior dominant. This posterior and hip dominant strength was more a product, I believe, of 10 years of HG throwing (how many thousand of throws) and 10 years of track and field throwing.
Anyways, off topic, but yeah, man. Sounds like you're due some rest and perhaps some quad work.
