You're talking to Eugene here, Sean. You know he can't help being a dick. And yet for some reason, despite his disdain for most of the coaches on this forum, he keeps coming back.
Eugene does not understand what "academic fraud" means, because he's read a couple of abstracts on PubMed and understood some of the long words and that makes him an expert.He also discounts the effect of good form coaching on tendon pain because he knows everything, is the most beautiful, and is always right. He has advice to give but none that he is willing to take. See? End of discussion.
1. Drop the NSAIDs
2. Perform Olympic squats in place of LBBS if not dropping squatting altogether
3. Perform rehabilitative work such as controlled 505 curls (with a resistance band) for the common extensor and flexor tendons tendinoses, tricep extensions (with a resistance band) for the distal triceps brachii tendon and intermuscular septa/bicipital groove attachments tendinoses, and controlled 303 body weight squats for the proximal rectus femoris tendinosis
4. Seek manual therapy (viz. transverse and linear frictions) prior to performing prescriptive exercises to educe an inflammatory response and facilitate realignment of type I and III collagen fibers with fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis response
This is not good advice. Tendinosis is a degenerative condition brought about by an injurious stress-strain-history relationship. That is, the tensile and/or compressive forces affecting the tissue exceed its fatigue strength and/or recuperative ability through either inadequate rest and/or excessive stress cycles. Continued squatting compounds this already poor relationship, thus exacerbating the condition.
Herb is quite right.
Tendinopathies can indeed occur in the absence of improper technique.
Herb is, again, correct. However, NSAIDs could be continued in the case of (chronic) tendinitis.
