Hi, I am new to the board. About 10 years ago, I broke my ACL. After 3 years and 3 operations and countless doctors and rehabs, my knee was still very weak and instable. Doctors told me that it could be up to 10 years before my knee was stabile again, because your spend your whole life working the muscles around your knee. My teams trainer gave me a bottle with alot of Polish writing on it and told me to take it once per week. I don't know what it was exactly, but I know what it was. Very shortly thereafter, my knee started to feel better and I went back to playing. I have no regrets, it served its purpose, and to this day my right knee is good. I was being paid to play ball, and this was worth it! The problem is that in the 5th game back, I broke the ACL in my left leg. It has now been about 3 years again since I had it fixed, again very little stability. I used to play ball and run Half-Marathons, now I can only run on a tread mill. I have a 9yo son that I would love to run around and play with, but I can't because I have to pay attention to every step I take. I finally have had enough. I have aquired a bottle of QV Deca 300 and some needles. About 4 weeks ago I started working out and doing alot on the tread mill and eliptical machine. I am 5'9'', and weigh 234. That is down from 251. I am not looking to be Big Poppa Pump, I just want to lose my fat, gain a little muscle and strengthen my knee. I have no visions of ever playing ball again, other than a pick up game, but I would like to run again.
Now that you all know my life story my questions are these:
1. I have read alot about stacks, since I am not worried about tests or getting real big,(1-10 week cycle should be enough I think) do I need to get all of this other stuff, or is what I have enough? If I need something else, what and where do I get it?
2. How do I go about my training, right now I do 1 hour of cardio per day and usually 2 body parts with 3 sets each(20 reps-16 reps and 12 reps) There is so much information on what is the best workout, but maybe someone can tell me whats best for my goals. Again, lose fat(I have also started weight watchers to help with this) strengthen my legs and put some muscle up top. I have heard that everyone has stomach muscles, but I have never seen mine, I think I was born without. Please spell it all out as if I knew nothing, because that is what I know. I can however follow directions!
Thank you all for any help you can provide!!
