Pulled muscle

[Quiksilver]

Hey guys

Last week, April 2nd, was doing squats and I pulled a muscle at some point.

Took the rest of the week off, no weights, no cardio, no gym period. Had some tightness just over my left knee, sort of the teardrop muscle, don't know what it's called.

Anyways, came back this monday, stretched it and whatnot, didn't feel tight or sore at all, so I moved on to the squat rack.

Doing the pyramid sets, yadd yadda, all is well. Then I get up to 225 and on the 2nd rep, I feel the injury again, so i finish the rep and rack the bar. I did some low intensity, 40 minute cardio afterwards.

What should I be doing to best heal the obvious injury I have as fast as possible? And how long should I expect to be avoiding legs?

At least you didn't dislocate your knee 2 weeks ago like I did. I can't do anything remotely bending my knee beyond a few degrees. Yet it's completely stable to do things like SLDL. But i can't do any form of cardio.

It's just generally pissing me off. You probably don't have to do anything but rest it for a week or two.

yeah dont do anything that causes it any pain, rest it and dont be to eager to try it out and see if its ready, id rest it for atleast 3weeks before trying anything and when i do id go very light
