[pct-l] hyperextended knees

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Third opinion.

The 15 minutes of hill climb on the bike might be too hard. If you
want to strengthen your muscles by bike, try repetition training. The
method is :
  1.warming up for about 10 minutes,
  2.run quickly as far as possible for about 5 or 10 seconds
  3.run relaxed for a few minutes,
  4. repeat 2 to 3,  about 5 to 10 times.

The most of the body builder adopts  low weights and many repetitions
training to prevent injuries. They  execute their training very fast
to stimulate the growth of muscles.   This method is also effective.

To stimulate the growth of muscles, and to prevent the injuries, the
stretching is effective. I had learned from professional runner. He
said to me.
  1. stretch slowly, gradually, and completely,
  2. maintain the same pose for a few minutes,  do not bend mightily.
That is all. Your muscles will be stimulated and will be get stronger.

Soon after the training, eat foods which contains protein, like meats
or eggs. Then your muscles will grow rapidly.

Good luck, trust your body.

> Wondering if any one else has experienced this- noticed early last year pain in both knees when I allowed them to lock straight.( I have bow legs too) Then hurt the left one immensely when footing slipped out under heel and the knee went backwards. Ortho said I would need surgery to repair cartlidge and possibly ACL.. Long story short... ACL was "tightened" during surgery, but was not torn, and cartlidge fixed, but knees still hyperextend and hurt when relaxed into lock position. I was fitted with huge heavy metal braces that prevent knees from going back and given exercises to strengthen quads and hams. But they dont seem better and I walk with out extending the left one fully.
