TIL that skipping knee pads for undercarriage jobs messed up my knees for months

I mean, if you think a little discomfort isn't a big deal now, just wait until you can't bend without pain, idk.

Looks like that 'little discomfort' decided to upgrade itself to full-time pain.

Sometimes what feels like a disaster is just your body figuring things out. That sharp pain in my knee last month turned out to be a tight muscle, not a tear, after I worked on mobility. Pushing through the weird feeling in a squat can lead to a stronger position if your form is solid. It's not always a warning sign, sometimes it's just a signal to adjust.

Yeah that "signal to adjust" part is so true... I read something once about how a lot of those weird twinges are just your nerves getting used to a new position.
