I started doing Max-ot shortly before Christmas and positively loved it. I saw great gains in strength and really enjoyed the challenge. I'm still lifting max-ot style. A couple of months ago, I noticed some snapping and popping behind my knee. It was never bad enough to do anything about and the soreness would go away after a few days.
Monday night, I was sitting cross-legged at my desk and when I got up, I had what could only be described as excruciating pain behind my knee. Walking was tremendously painful. I elevated it, alternated ice and heat and took naproxen. It didn't help. It was actually worse Tuesday morning so I ended up going to the ER because I was afraid something was really wrong. I was diagnosed with tendonitis and I'm on crutches for at least the rest of the week.
I'm really bummed to think that Max-ot caused this because I enjoy lifting that way so much. However, I've talked to other people who loved the program as well but eventually had to quit because of injuries related to it.
Has anyone else experienced this? When I'm allowed to go back to lifting again, I'd like to do Max-ot but I certainly don't want to find myself here again. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
