I would stay away from doing decline as well.

? Not sure what you mean by this. Did you mean to write “stay away from decline BB as well” ? Or that, agreeing with what I wrote, you should do one OR the other, but not both? Or maybe something else completely
I would love to do decline db presses, but don’t have access to a decline bench. I just do dips.
I’m saying that in his particular case, his chest is already looking a bit silly and disproportionate. His avatar shows his chest thickness perfectly. If he starts doing wide grip dips and decline DB presses, it’s only going to exacerbate the problem with his lower chest sticking out the way it is worse than plain old flat benching.
I gotcha, thanks for that advise I wouldn’t have noticed that otherwise without posting on here. My military press is actually stronger than my incline bench which is awkward possibly due to bad form in the incline. But, I’ll focus on incline and repost progress pics in a couple of weeks.
You’re not squatting 375x5 7 months out of ACL surgery. Usually it doesn’t bother me when people lie but thats a fucking joke. I tore my ACL. If you want a fully healed ACL you’re rehabbing for 6 months. After 6 months is usually when you can start training again.
I’ll throw a video up when I can bud, I was on the stationary bike after about a month, jogging after 3 months, sprinting after 6 months. I even participated in Tugs at NIU (look it up on Youtube), at 4.5 months out and I was fine. My graft was from a cadaver and I know rehab is a bit longer if you get the knee-pateller graft and the hamstring graft will be tougher on the leg so I decided on that one.
I was squatting 315 4 months out during Tugs season and that’s about what I was squatting before surgery. So don’t call me a liar because your progress may not be up to par look into getting a better physical therapist if you aren’t seeing the results you want and keep pushing yourself and don’t take away from others who are proud of what they’ve accomplished after rehab.
My surgeon was Dr. Steven Glasgow he’s actually the team surgeon for NIU and has been doing it for over 20 years, I was pretty confident with him and requested him as my surgeon. Skill of the surgeon has a lot to do with rehab so that may play a part in speed of yours. I see you have not really educated yourself on ACL reconstruction so it would help a lot for you to take some time and understand protocol and recovery timelines.
