Thread: Possible Past Knee Injury - Leg Press

My right knee has never felt as strong as my left, but I can’t remember ever injuring it either. I did play a lot of sports through my youth including high school baseball and football which could have caused the problem. I am now noticing I favor my left leg and my left leg seems to be getting bigger than my right leg. When I try to favor my right leg on leg press I feel a slight uncomfortable feeling in my right knee. Nothing I can’t push through but it would make sense as to why I naturally favor my left leg.

I am considering a compression sleeve for leg days? Does anyone have a better suggestion? Is there anything better to use to help my push my right leg through leg days?

Thank you all,
Nick

Yes i agree with the above,see a medical professional first for a proper diagnosis.
You may want to do more unilateral leg work like lunges,split squats,ect.
Maybe even focus on just the weaker leg.
Good luck.

I appreciate both of your responses, and agree. I will set up a appt. I’ve just always felt knee doctors are quick to the draw with surgeries and everything else.
The discomfort I feel isn’t a pain. It’s more the knee itself feels much weaker then the left side. Like it feels like it could give out. Almost like a anxiety feeling. Wondering if maybe I should drop the weight and slowly work my right side and hopefully get it stronger
