I've been slacking on it for a while and started doing a lot more lately. Definitely helping. Worked up to a 175kg front squat this week. Might be a beltless PR, heaviest I've done since like Feb. Plenty more strength in my legs, still trying to un-fuck all the tightness in my hips and engage my core/glutes. https://www.instagram.com/p/BK3wPT0DucW | ||

I meant that any time I put something on my back for 5 reps or less, I have this thought at the back of my head that it may crush me and I might die, and anything I put on there for 6 or more I get halfway through and start to seriously consider that I might be suffocating. I haven't been "comfortable" with a squat that wasn't a warmup in a long time. | ||

There's so much about it on the net that I'm getting a little lost. the short answer is keep working on your mobility and buy lifting shoes with an inclined heel. you will probably never develop the mobilty in your hips and especially your ankles to squat all the way down without any wink while barefoot. you are too old and fucked up. | ||

Any tips to share? your knee will never be the same. accept this now. my tip is dont go back into the gym two weeks after surgery to deadlift 400. had mine rebuilt while in college 8 years ago and my left leg is still smaller than my right, my knee swells after high impact sports, and is generally less capable than my right. i attribute that to the nature of the operation but also maybe not rehabbing/healing optimally. pushing it too fast in the gym and not focused enough on proper symmetrical development. | ||

Tips: - do the physio and all related excersises, do NOT skip any of it at all. I'm sure your doctor's will emphasize this as well, it's extremely important to build up the muscle again as soon as you can and not let it settle in a poor state. - try building your leg up as much as you can before surgery - get used to crutches going up and down stairs, if you've never used them before it can be a little tricky the first few go at stairs - follow doctors and physios orders as well as you can. I started walking on it roughly a week after surgery but you can do it earlier if they advise it. I got a hamstring graft done. 2 months post surgery I went back to work, and holy shit I was not ready for the crazy hamstring pain the first few days. That was the most painful part of he whole process, so depending on what kind of graft you have done be ready for pain in that area. I started going back to the gym the following August but I probably could have done it 6 months post op. Started with some very light leg excersises and eventually worked my way to squats and heavier lifts I'm almost 3 years post surgery now and in the best shape of my life. There's some pain day to day but it's not bad, and playing sports feels great. When I'm running around playing soccer it's like nothing ever happened to that knee. Same thing with the gym, lifting feels natural so make sure you do the physio correctly | ||

Fully anecdotal evidence., one of our coaches had an ACL tear plus bone damage and even after surgery he was basically cripple for more than a year. He started "juicing" (I am not sure what exactly did he took) but in a few months he was doing stuff again and he is pretty much functional for everything now. (He still does his rehab stuff every day without exception) | ||

Alright thanks. I've neglected mobility work so I figured that'd be the problem. | ||
