POST SURGERY - same routine, but I removed/replaced any quad, glute press/lunge with activation and mobility exercises (not listing these because I pull them randomly from my brain bank depending on how I feel

Stitches were removed three days ago on Monday and both my surgeon and physical therapist are amazed and thrilled with my progress. They attribute it to staying strong before my surgery.


This routine was created as my cutting routine for Springtime, but I had to modify it for the injury.

Exactly right

Here we are 8 months later...my knee is ok. Certainly not perfect or ideal, but ok. It is vastly better than it was when I initially tore the meniscus, but my knee still clicks like a mf'er and I have a feeling I tore it again (in that the surgeon did not trim it enough and it frayed again) OR because of the surgery, which is essentially trimming out the torn cartilage, the lateral meniscus never settled back into a firm location and it is flapping around every time I extend my knee. I have relatively no pain, so that is the most important thing. I just experience an annoying cartilage click upon full extension so I feel it at the extended part of each walking step.

The only way to know for sure is to get another MRI and I am not doing that at this time.

I am fully deploying the ATG/KOT program to strengthen my knees and maximize full range of motion. My hope is that over time, my knee settles down a bit more.

I would find a really good orthopedic who works with professional athletes not one that works with old people

 

[CEO]

bros I'm old and my knees are no good anymore either but you got to train around them

 

[ROIDDERS]

just don't train heavy or put strain on them

 

[chesty]

the worst thing I did for my knees was leg extensions

 

[Ulter]

just go really light on squats and do box squats
