Patella Tendonitis

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey all, just wondering if anyone following FT has experience with Patella Tendonitis? I would like to start FT but with this issue I couldn't do any heavy loading on legs. Not sure whether to work around it or just wait it out and hope to start FT in a few weeks.
Thanks

Hey Ruth!  Sorry for missing this post and thanks to Ad for stepping in!

It sounds like you're working with a PT or another medical professional on this?...  If so, I'd just go with what they suggest as far as rehab exercise, and what PH_Ad mentioned is dead on: If it fits within your prescribed parameter, Pump Sets could be the way to go to get some quad training in. Again, depending on a rehab prescription, you might be able to do Pump Sets for quads in place of the other Set types.

As Ad mentioned, too, not irritating and prolonging recovery is super important here, as well as figuring out what the root cause of the tendonitis is for you.  It could be a number of things, but exercise selection could be part of this for you (a/o execution of said exercises), so when you come back into regular training, being wary of the problematic exercises makes sense, too.
