The Bridge: Missed Week 5 day 3 belt less squats

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Currently on the bridge week 5. On day 3 went to the gym did my deadlifts and bench. Then when I do my first set of squats with the bar to warm up knee hurts. Rested a while then tried again it still hurts so I stopped and was forced to skip them. A bit of background information previous to the bridge I was struggling with some knee pain. I went to see GP (general practitioner) he just said rest it so I did then after 2 weeks painless and started squatting. I suspect it was overuse as long as I train smart I can feel when I think it’s going to go and have been managing it well. I have slowly built its tolerance back up. My question is do I need to make up for this somewhere next week or will it not affect anything.

Thank you for all your help.

Hi there, I would not make those up at this point. I’d also spend some time digging around on our site and in the Pain and Injury section of the forum. We’d encourage you to have a clear understanding of pain and training, rather than assume rest is automatically needed.

Yeah I will read some of Baraki’s articles etc thanks for the response.
