Consoles, everyone! How are you? Please approve the topic, I want to know what I can do about it! I am a 24-year-old man and I go to the gym relatively regularly. I had a period in which I stopped training for 6 months because I had pain in the tendons of the thighs (those under the cap) I could not read anything about it and I stopped training, whether from pain or laziness. It hurts for 2-3 days after that they pass. I can't do squats, leg presses - nothing! Is it normal to weigh 80 kg and do a series of squats with 50 kg and it's super heavy. I manage to perform the exercise correctly, but I have not made any progress in my legs for 2 months. I just keep squatting at 50 and I can't take it anymore. Putting more on these tendons hurts a lot. Let me clarify! I have never trained my legs before, I live a life of stagnation and my legs are weak. But for 2 months, given that they have never been trained, there should be rapid progress in my opinion. But not! I perform squats, hip flexion, Romanian traction and cross-country twice a week. I have a feeling that my muscle can handle one more idea, but the tendons, the pain in them and the restriction in movement do not allow it. Maybe I was stupid and inaccurate, I apologize. Give me advice, it's funny that they are already watching me in the gym! I do my squats, then some chick comes and puts more pounds on mine and does deep squats. I was thinking of putting on big weights for small reps but I can't lift anything over 60kg at all. The topic is straight to the basics! but the tendons, the pain in them, and the restriction of movement do not allow it. Maybe I was stupid and inaccurate, I apologize.

Go to the doctor, it is completely logical, the Internet is NOT a doctor
Deep squats are a stupid idea. The so-called parallel squats are quite sufficient. What do you care who thinks what?
In two months you start training (probably overtraining) your legs very quickly and abruptly (untrained for you so far), and they are a large muscle group and must recover very well, otherwise there is a risk of injury. When a person is stagnant for a long time, it is not advisable to start abruptly with the weight he has gained before. Everything should be done gradually. Try to lose a few pounds if you are in pain and do not gain more than 5 pounds each week. Recover well (24-48 hours if you do not have muscle fever). After training, do 5 minutes of stretching, it will not hurt you, but will only help you recover, because this way blood goes to the legs and the muscles relax. Make sure you warm up all your joints well before a workout, not just raise your body temperature. Needless to explain, that you don't have to worry about anyone in the gym because you went to train. I'm a girl too and sometimes I put on more weight than a boy, but I don't think anyone is thin at all. I respect everyone for making an effort to change.
