I pretty much don't have a meniscus nor a good chunk of cartilage in my knee

ouch

Tends to cause a lot of stability issues

Plus a lot of inflammation there

mine clicks, cause I didn't treat it right for awhile

Yeah I've no advice to help you there haha

Just got a shitty surgeon to do my survey, lol

Told me it was going to be a minor fix prior

Next thing I know in the post op he's like "Yeah turns out it was a lot more damaged than we thought it was gonna be. But don't worry, it'll feel like new in 6 months!"

3 1/2 years later I'm still waiting

f

To be fair though, should've expected that it was bad. Most people when they tear their meniscus can often continue to compete and lift for quite some time, even up to the day of their surgery. I put any weight on it or if my knee twisted the slightest it was enough to put me on the ground.

damn

that's shit

Making me really want to treat mine right now haha

Lol you should be fine. TRUST ME, you'll know when it's bad lol

Also, I think it got so bad because I tore it on a Monday pretty bad, but continued playing until the last few bits of the game on Friday where I was cut several times by a Tight End.

I used to use way to much quad and no posterior chain when squatting , that's what caused whatever little damage I have rn

right, gotta rest shit

when I fucked up my foot, I nursed the hell out of it for like a month

now I'm kicking harder than before with it :)

don't kick metal poles

I'll stick to getting my tongue frozen on them lol

the real suomi

I think I have lowbar down now. 4 weeks of 10x10 really helped. Pulled 455 sumo the other day so might make the switch (gasp) idk yet

Lots of volume lol

Damn wtf at those reps

Cardio for days

For a powerliftwr I do volume blocks so I don’t have to run

Or run as much*. Slowly building back down to strength. Hoping this helps me finally break 500 squat

Powerwalking crew checking in

If you're pushing those numbers you're doing something right obviously.

Nice numbers.

Thanks, next week I go to 5x10. Hoping to run that to 365 then deload and hit some strength blocks

>tfw want to lift heavy but also be cut

I eagerly await bulk season

Winter

I have a good copypasta

This cold snap were having is killing my gym time.
