Hi guys,
I get a toothache-like pain in my right VMO muscle the day after squatting, its about 3/10 on pain scale. I’m worried about pushing my squat too hard and causing more damage to the muscle.
General speaking, should I squat in a manner that would put more stress on the VMO to make it stronger or should I squat in a manner to take the emphasis away from the VMO?
What of the following variations would focus the emphasis on the VMO more;
Wide/narrower stance?
Squat shoes/chucks?
High bar / low bar?
Front / back squat?
I tend to only back squat, should I add some other exercises in?
Any ideas what’s going on?
Cheers
