Anyone on here know of any exercises or lifts I can do to work out my quads without having to involve / engage my knees?
I have partially torn patellar tendons in both knees - right is so bad it buckles at times from instability so I’m stuck wearing a brace that limits my mobility to 30° - and I also just found out a torn right meniscus. I still work calves and hamstrings, but don’t know if anything I can do for my quads that don’t involve my knees / patellar tendons, and it’s to painful (and I’m also trying to listen to my Dr) to do leg press, leg extension, squats, hack squats, deadlifts, etc. I’m not supposed to do any jumping, basketball, soccer, running, sports in general, kneeling, etc, etc. Fucking frustrating and annoying. It’s hard to even drive for more than 10-15 minutes without using cruise control because it starts to hurt so bad and gets to the point it’ll shake just from being bent and or/pressing the accelerator.
Swimming maybe?
