Today was my first day since my knee surgery doing deadlifts.. i kept it under 225, super light even for me.. but it felt good just doing them again. Just figured i'd share.. knee feels good, back feels good.. It's a good feeling.

Great job bro! im glad to hear it. Are you training legs already?
Hey man! long time no see. Yeah, i've been doing legs for a while.. but haven't been able to do squats as much as i like. I do them every other week if the knee feels good enough.. lately it's been great though. The past three months it's just been extensions/curls/press each one legged.. but it's finally as strong as the other one, although not as big..Quote:

cool!
IMO presses put less stress on your knees and hack squats put more on them than squats.
Yeah.. the presses have been great.. i went from not even being able to lift myself up with one leg immediately after the surgery to evening out the strength of both legs.. even though it took a while, i know it was the presses that got me back to almost normal.Quote:
