Seal Training & My Knee

[Legion Kreinak]

Two things here...

One, the seal training workout, which many of you have probably seen, consits of pushups, situps, lotsa running, pullups, and swimming. Dips come in later too. Now, where does leg work come in? Do quads get worked running? It feels more like calves only... My question here was, should I take out my squats and heel raises and just do the running or is that not adequate to build a fit body and have strong legs?

Second is, my right knee has been bothering me the day after doing squats. I do them right, maybe slightly past shoulder with, toes forward, knees never going over, straight back for the most part. Then the next day I go on the exercise bike and sometimes it cramps up and I snap it forward (like cracking knuckles) and it feels better for a lil'. It doesn't bother me when I walk or anything, only if I try to do squats again or ride the bike. Because of this should I maybe just do running in place of cycling and squats for my workout routine?

tendons and ligaments require recovery too - rest up

You think it could just be something minor that needs rest? I sure hope so. ^^;

My knees crack when I do squats too..
I toar cartelage in mine a few years back though.. so that explains mine...
No pain though.. just a popping sound.. my doc says its fine... so I just ignore it...
Thanks

So... what do I do?

 

[coolcolj]

nothing - its just plucking of the tendons and ligaments

My elbows click, so does my back - rather annoying when doing tricep exercises and presses

as long as it does not hurt then don't worry.
It will become more frequent as your tendons and ligaments enlarge due to weight training and or stress
