I have been switching from powerlifting with low reps and very heavy
weight, to lifting slightly lighter
weight with slow, controlled reps, in the interest of protecting my joints (ironically, then this happens).
I have never had an injury before. Do I ice this? Should I be trying not to bend it, or bend it often to keep the blood flowing?
Also, should I be wearing wraps when I squat, to protect my joints?
