Thanks for all the post,
I guess this was meant to be a friendly warning about changing methods IE
weights, It was really easiy to exceed my tendons ability, while only
using the ease of lifting the weight mechanically assisted.
The reps makes sense.
My Injury has been slowly healing ,( I beleive) It was only a level 1 sprain, by my assesment of
current medical research I did.
The pain is now a mild throbing easily controlled by naprisin, slowly increasing
milleage avoiding hammering and a soft knee brace supports the medial tendon
when walking for extended periods.
In about another couple months it should be 100% pain free.
I was very lucky , I don't want anyone to experience this type of Injury
it was due to weaker tendons not frequently used in cycling.
It was the medial tendon of the right knee..My stronger leg.
No warning it just surfaces 24 hours post injury, most likely
due to tendons that have frayed or bruised from excessive strain.
Thanks again...
Doug
The good new I realize how unbalanced my cycling effort has been
working on strenght training my left leg, and focusing on form,
and position of balanced pedal effort, now seeing improvment from
this way of training we tend to develope less than optimal pedal
stokes, that twinge sort of says hey bring that knee in....
