Log for 6/20/26
Today I had to train AFTER work because I started work at 9:00a.m and the gym doesn't open till 8:00a.m on weekends
I was planning on taking a break from doing legs for a couple weeks because of my knee but after consulting chat gpt it told me time off probably wouldn't help much
This is what chat gpt said is up with my knee..
Based on what you're describing—pain directly above the kneecap, pain with stairs, leg press, and leg extensions, no popping, no instability, and symptoms persisting for months—the most likely culprit is quadriceps tendinopathy (quadriceps tendon irritation) where the tendon attaches to the top of the kneecap.
The pain has lasted months.
It hurts with stairs and prolonged sitting.
Leg extensions aggravate it significantly.
You continued training through it for a while.
That tells me the tendon likely never got a chance to properly remodel and heal.
What I'd do for the next month
Stop all leg extensions completely. For quad tendon pain, they're often the worst offender.
No leg press over 50% of your old working weight. If you eventually test it, think 250-400 lbs, not 600-800 lbs.
Train posterior chain hard. You can probably maintain most of your leg mass with:
Romanian deadlifts
Hamstring curls
Hip thrusts
Glute bridges
Back extensions
Daily tendon work.
Spanish squats: 5 × 45 seconds
Or wall sits: 5 × 45 seconds
The gym closed at 8:00p.m and I got there at 7:10 so I did as much as I could..
