How do you plan on getting to the squat rack without walking?
Hello Coach.
So sadly today I hit my knee pretty hard during jiu jitsu training and developed a bone bruise. Very painful (started off being just tender to touch, but now it's hard to walk).
Any experience with this? Can I still try and squat with a good warm up?
Thanks Coach.
Regards,
Mat.

I can walk, just quite painful xD I can also do a bodyweight squat, though again, quite painful. Don't know much about bone bruises. From what I understand, I don't want to hit that area again, but not sure if squats would do any damage. So was really a question of if trying to squat through the pain was doing any serious damage or not. I konw you're not a doctor Coach, but maybe you had experience with bone bruises and might have some insignt.
Strangely enough, it feels a lot better today, and should not be feeling better so fast. Maybe it's just a bump and I'll be able to squat within a few days.
The bad news is that you have not specified the location of the bruise. The knee is a big place, and it is composed of lots of things. The good news is that everything heals except cancer.
A most memorable quote. This is going in my profile. There's few gems there already. My favorite is from Andy Baker:

It seems not to be a bone bruise per say, since the pain has significantly subsided (whereas when I did have a bone bruise a few years ago, it was very painful for weeks). Guess it's just a "I hit my knee hard it hurts" kinda thing XD Was able to squat today thankfully. Life is good again. Thx for responses.
