I am currently doing S&S training, but I was at my parents place and found no suitable kettlebell size to do swings, so I did snatches instead 10*10 with the 20 kilo. This was great fun, but it seem to have lead to some acute pain in my right thigh. This pain has lasted for two days. It is however the second time I have had this pain during the last three weeks. The pain/discomfort is located five centimeter above the knee. It is not painful to walk, but it is slightly painful to climb stairs.
I have noticed when doing swings that when I do swings with a very slight bent in the knees I get less power but more endurance. And then when I bend more in my knees I get more power, but also more quickly get fatigued. Based on this I am wondering if my quads are a bit too weak.
So based on this I would be curious to know what you think I should do, and if you think I have some sorts of stiffness, imbalances in my legs that is quashing my quadriceps to be a particularly vulnerable ?
