WOO HOO

last night, after nearly six months away from the squat rack due to a knee injury i got back under the bar again.

i didn't go over 225... to worried about re-injuring myself at this point.

but it felt DAMN GOOD bros. gonna take it slow, gotta get my form back as i was a bit shaky.

i'm just glad that i don't have to load/unload the f'in leg press any more. and that my legs will actually start to grow too!

5-6 months of stagnation with the leg press have come to an end as of last night

What irony!

I know how you felt, only my dumbass decided to get a little daring -- be glad that you didn't. So ACL? MCL? Meniscus 'scope?

actually it was just a minor tear in my patellar tendon, right at the top of my kneecap. nothing too serious, just painful. any kind of shearing pressure on my knee was just too much to take. i had to start out on the leg press with my feet high up on the sled, to take all the pressure off my knee. i would gradually lower my feet as the months went by, until i could get them pretty low on the sled.

then on wednesday i decided to get in the rack, and found that i had no pain! 225 made it tweak just a little, so it will be slow going.

so basically my injury was no where near as serious as yours ivan

i can tell you all that my glutes/hams/adductors hurt like hell; i had almost forgot what it felt like

Good work...go easy and start lightly.
