For a while my knee had felt buggy. I’d crack it, massage it, and yet the feeling persisted.
You know the issue?
Inactivity, a lack of physical stress.
(You know I haven’t done “healing fire” in some time either.)
See the body is incredibly adaptable. Not only do we need the physical stress and demands on the body for it to feel right, but the body thrives from it doing so. Newton’s law and all that.
I’ve said it before :
And I’m saying it again, squats build the knee.
Yesterday evening was my first meaningful lift in a while, the military press, and some empty bar overhead squats.
Those overhead squats were the first weighted squats I’d done in some time, and presto the knee feels practically 100% off of one small dose.
Squats build the knee.
