Mobilize hips and ankles.

The very idea of doing a back flip does the same for me. Used to do them all the time though
>>37077358
Deep squats.
>>37077358
As it should. I haven't been able to work legs for over a month now because of it.
>tfw one knee hurts when you sit down
squats tend to unfuck my knees if I do them correctly.
Vmo hurts on right leg
What do
>>37077358
Yoga.
Stand up OP.
Now bend from the hips and try to touch your torso onto your thighs, bend your knees to accomplish this if you're not flexible enough.
Next place your hands behind your knees and try to straighten your legs, focus on relaxing your hamstrings.
Feel dem knee gains.

1. Stand up, feet close together, about 6 inches apart.
2. Keep your back straight and bend forward till you feel a stretch in your hamstrings.
3. Grab the back of your leg and slowly pull your torso towards your thighs.
4. Now try to straighten your legs while pulling your torso towards your thigh.

don't liston to this yoga faggots, the best way to avoid knee injury is to stengtion the muscles and bone destiny around the knees so they have more support and less impact stress.
Squats and deadlifts. I don't mean putting 500 pounds on the bar, but normie level stuff.
other then that avoid knee impact sports (like tennis and marathon running).
but a lot fo it is genetic, sorry :(

Any tips for vmo muscle
Right knee feels iffy

Yeah do this, but do my suggestion first. Your body will thank you.
first of all, make sure your walking technique is good. you need to push off with your toes and make sure your opposite shoulder is coming forward with each stride, feet pointing straight forward.
if you run, you need to address your running technique. look up "natural running". it talks about a mid-foot strike and using the natural springiness of your body as a way to save joint stress and energy.
do squats past parallel, deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, one leg deadlifts. stretch and roll everything out, especially your IT bands

Ass to the grass pause squats.
Start with REASONABLE weight, slowly work your way up. (Don't be an idiot anon.)
Go all the way down as far as you can, pause for two breaths, go back up, pause for two breaths. (Repeat for 6 reps, 6 sets)
Deadlift with PROPER form, use REASONABLE weight. (6 reps, 6 sets)
