STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

Nah, I’d say anyone could add 50-60 pounds do their max if you’re already a good dl’er.

Are you sure it wasn’t just an oly bar you used? They are also narrower and have a lot more whip a regular power bar.
 
We got some like that too.

We got a Chan bar that is pretty dope. It’s all rusty too, I like it the knurling doesn’t tear up your hands.
 
"I" damn sure wouldn't be able to do that.. :rofl:

Coming from someone who had ACL reconstruction, they haven't torn it, probably just a sprain or something, maybe meniscus related instead.

You can definitely do certain lower body work on a fully ruptured ACL once the initial pain and swelling has gone away. Completely tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus when I was still playing ball and the surgeons said it would be better to wait the 6 - 8 weeks for my MCL and meniscus to heal, and then do the reconstructive knee surgery on my ACL (team patella tendon, no cadavers).

Trainers said it was best to use those 8 weeks to stay in shape and to get my legs as strong as possible pre-surgery (you're rehabilitating *** will thank yourself later). They basically prescribed HIIT and heavy lower body lifts. Was running sprints on the track every day then to the gym doing squats, deads and upper body work. With a fully torn ACL the only things that are out of play is ANY lateral movement.

I wasn't used to the upper body work. :lol: Put on new muscle too quickly in my chest in those fews weeks, when I woke up from the anesthesia post surgery, my thoracic wall literally collapsed onto my lungs and I couldn't breath. Had to stay overnight for an extra day.:smh:

Man I’m happy I’ve never had anything outside of lower back pain I was inflicting myself with weight gain and heavy lifting. I’m the type that would join a random game of indoor soccer when asked an hour before or play ball if they need one more. If I’m stuck doing nothing but lifts it would kill me.

but the MCL controls lateral movements...ACL operates on the forward/backward plane....you ran sprints on a fully ruptured ACL? No way. I need footage. you must've had to wear the stone cold knee brace and you arent running hard in that.
