Messed up my patellar tendon yesterday on extensions.. Do you find a deload necessary even if pain seems to be gone by the next upcoming leg day?
 
Do you find a deload necessary even if pain seems to be gone by the next upcoming leg day?
it depends, generally no when talking about minor aches and pains.

for the context of this injury that im dealing with, I first tweaked it a couple weeks ago, and have retweaked it several times in the following weeks.

This is telling me that simply taking it a bit easy coupled with my standard recovery times is not sufficient for the injury to heal fully.

the answer to "should i deload to let this heal, even if it doesnt hurt" is going to boil down to the individuals injury history and the nature of the injury
