Approved Log Mav's Knee Surgery Log (Right Lateral Meniscus)

[e2]

yes man you don't have to train heavy to get good results

 

[2Thick]

dudes on here like monstro don't train that heavy and look at them

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

I hope your knee feels better if it's damaged you don't want to end up with a knee replacement

 

[MONSTRO]

Monstro says don't over do it with knees

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

I have had three knee surgeries by the head of orthopedics at a massive hospital near by. He operated on two starting NFL QB's the week before my last surgery

Can't get any better than that, so you and I are on the same page brother. I would drive five hours one way to get the best doc and thankfully I am blessed to have solid health insurance to take care of it.

Just getting old bro and like CEO said...we have to work around our liabilities.

 

[Maverick602]

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

Exactly.

Honestly...if you have not checked out Ben Patrick and his Knees Over Toes(KOT) program, you should. Most of you on here will agree with me that we were often taught to NEVER go past parallel on squats and we were fed a bunch of bullshit.

I had total contempt for the KOT program initially thinking it was dangerous and a bunch of trendy bullshit, but a young trainer at my gym stayed on me until I tried it. It starts with something as simple as walking backwards.

I eased into it and noticed something. When I did the program, the next day, my knees felt better and the more I do the program and the stronger I get (doing the KOT split squat) the better everything feels. I now use it as my warm up for leg day. If you don't know it, I suggest you check it out. I have been doing it since my surgery.

@Maverick602 I hope you get over the injuries and push it hard and stay on the level

Wow, that is crazy. Definitely in the right hands!

Hopefully you recover 100% brother I've only had one surgery in my life and that sucked enough.

Thanks Bro. Prehab may be a pain in the ass, but it is way better than Rehab! Stay injury free

 

[Maverick602]

My knees are back to where they were pre-injury and now I am just maintaining my knee health. I will most likely talk about my knee health in future logs, but as of today ...
