Never Walk Alone

Masch: You are looking fabulous. Love the new avatar!

Indeed, you are looking banging! And my completely non-professional opinion, I would take it easy on any quad exercises (especially leg extension kinda stuff). Pretty sure early ACL rehab stuff should focus on hams, and if you do quads, they should be closed chain (like partial squats). At least til you are able to get it checked out a little more, I’d err on the side of caution, darlin.

Hi Mascherano! Just checking in and doing the customary “you checked out my log, so I’ll check out yours” stuff.

I wanted my first post in your log to be special, so I thought “why not make it the FIRST post in a BRAND NEW log?”. What could be more special than that?. So I’ve stayed up all night waiting to do it, it’s quarter to 4 in the morning here in the UK now and I’m completely shattered.

Fell asleep several times and thought I’d missed it, but I’ve managed it,

So here goes…HAPPY NEW LOG!!!..

What’s that? 1123? What the?

Thanks for chiming in everyone and for the positive vibes! :slight_smile:

And Cholula, thanks for the heads up! I just looked up some articles online and you’re right, leg extensions no bueno. Hamstring curls as well, but those would make me barf right now anyways.

I’ve switched up me training and added in some straight legged DLs and then single leg DB RDLs, and then basically put together a quad day, but with the GVT. lol! That doesn’t sound right, right? might forgoe the GVT for now…

Anyways, quad day is:
Wall sits
Static lunge
Partial squat (lol!)
leg press

And the week looks like (i’m so OCD! Research nerd):
Mon - Hams and glutes
Tues - back and shoulders
Wed - pilates (maybe stationary bike, catch up on some reading?)
Thurs - Chest and arms
Fri - Quads

Sat and Sun off :slight_smile:

Coach Joe told me to come to the gym so he can look at what i’m doing and change it. LOL! I said, “don’t worry bout it”

Anyways, i’m not going to get crazy, but I am optimistic.

Forward Ho!

Ohhh, Maschy tells Coach Joe to jam it! Alright, stick it to the man.
Subtle but effective.

Nice training set up, nerd.

yeah, you got your training sussed. sounding good! i remember he had you doing partial squats at one point… i wonder… if the rationale is that you can bounce out the hole if you time it right without using your legs much at all… especially with the bouncy bouncy women’s bar… so really the leg strength is most useful for that top 1/4 or so of the squat. i find the better i get at riding the bounce the higher i am before i hit my sticking point. just a thought anyway, i don’t know.

you have my admiration for wall sits. that is probably the exercise i bailed the fastest on once i tried it…

oooh. looks like i killed another one :-/

looks like i just have to get that last word in…

i’ll edit a link to your new log once you have set one up.
