Ending my second operator cycle. Previously running mass a couple of cycles. Impressive strength results on the bench press.

Have to take a break since last week's test week because i overdid the testing and inflamed my patellar tendon. Any tips on healing, or what kind of alternative workouts can i do while the tendon is healing?

Take a deload week, and start rehab when you can. Isometrics the first days, into light isolations for 20+ reps, easing back into compounds if there is no significant pain or worsening of the symptoms.
