[QUOTE="skmcbride, post: 157326, member: 23265"] I would stay away from knee extension exercises on machines. Try some partial squats with light weight from full knee extension to no more than 45 degrees on a Smith machine or equivilant to allow you feet to be out in front of your knees. As you squat do not let your knees pass the imaginary plane in front of your toes as this will increase stress on tendon. I have also gotten good results with elliptical trainers, not steppers as they cause to much flexion. You are experiencing a common problem that can be resolved. Unfortunately, non-contractile tissues are slower to respond than muscle to training so when we push are training to a new or different levels we need to go at a pace to allow tendon, cartilage and ligament to adapt since they lag behind muscle adaptation. There are straps called Cho-Pat that go around patellar tendon that can reduce some discomfort. You have probably seen pro basketball players using them for "jumpers Knee." The question is the pain on the tendon or at the level of the knee cap? Good Luck, Keith. [/QUOTE]
