This is BS! Just when I was getting into the flexibility zone that I felt comfortable with my rubber guard, my effing knee starts aching out of nowhere! SOB! :confused:

That really sucks how bad is it cause I used to have knee problems before
Sucks! I'm having lower back issues. Does it hurt squeezing the lockdown?
Its probably hurting because you might have been trying to play rubber guard when your flexibility wasn't quite good enough, thus you end up pulling on your knee more than you have too if you had good flexibility. There seems little doubt to me, due to the mechanics of the rubber guard, that you are puuting strain on your knee, its just how much strain depends on your flexibility of your hips and bum.Quote:

not saying you are but you should make sure you're stretching it correctly, as this could easily be the reason your knee is messed up. oh and by the way, knees don't stretch.
If he was injuring his knee due to improper technique then just switching sides will only injure the other knee.Quote:

I feel with this system one of the most important thing is to get a foam roller and roll out your it bands. I learned the hard way in my first year I had a lot of tension in my knees and got injured,a trainer gave me a foam roller it helped out a lot. Take the foam roller and roll out your calves too it make a real difference.
