I sometimes get into the mode of overtraining, either before a Competition or if I was bad….
We all know you can not out train a bad diet… anyway…
It mostly happens to me in competition mode!!!
I slack for too long and now I’m pressing for time!
I will do 2 and 3 cardio session per day 60 minutes 7 days per week!
Sometimes doing my track workout twice per day, which consists of different ways of lunges, step ups, sprinting, running stairs, sports conditioning moves …just to burn large amounts of calories!!!
I usually ending up with severe knee pain!
Can’t walk up or down the stairs anymore, knee locks up…..
First thought is messed up my knee joint 🙁
Thank Gudness I know how to treat it!
If there is swelling I will ice the joint until the swelling subsides!
After that I will take a hot bath in Epsom salt for about 10-15 minutes…
Now it’s foam rolling time ( roll over the full leg ).
If I need to I apply pressure to trigger points with a tennis ball or my elbow if I can reach it…
Stretching is next: hamstrings including medial and lateral hamstrings, quads including lateral and medial quads, glutes and lower back!
I repeat each stretch twice and hold them for 20 seconds!
I will feel better right away, but usually have to do this a few days in a row!!!
I will be careful with cardio for a day, but then do low impact (bike, swimming, some cross trainer) for a few days!

Remember you cant out train a bad diet!

Muscle growth happens in your resting phase, not your workout!
