Patella Tendonitis

I had this in August caused by overdoing it with a skipping rope.  It was agonising to even get up from a seated position.  It gradually went away by avoiding anything that caused discomfort, which was any kind of leg press/squat/leg extension. 

For me, fortitude training is one of the more fun routines to use in this situation as it should only be the thigh and quad exercises that you would consider leaving out.  It also potentially opens up more opportunity for running other body parts at higher volume tiers as you have a gap in your routine from not doing the thigh/quad work for a period of time.

I hope that’s helpful.

That's great Ad, I was thinking similarly. I'm allowed to do leg press and leg extensions but only only the lowest weight or an empty plate loaded machine. I'll give the book another good read over the next day or so and come up with a game plan. Like you hopefully in 4-6 I can reassess and add more leg work in.
