It's been about 2 years and several months since my last post on this blog. I just wanted to give a heads up on what has been going on with my reconstructed knee. I was originally told by my surgeon, who is very skilled, BTW. Who knew Stanford would crank out quality surgeons!?!? Nonetheless, he told me I wouldn't squat heavy again. Needless to say my legs are more stronger now than I was before. I'm squatting in the 300 hundred range. I'm not talking about machine squats. I'm talking about rack squats, and I'm machine pressing close to 800 lbs. I train my legs very hard, and strive for all around power. This means each muscle group. The importance of posterior chain workouts is key. You must have all around strength and attack deficiencies. My vertical has improved, and my 4-6 speed has come back. ACL surgery has been very successful, but again you must rehab hard and long. I've completed my third marathon this year and I'm going to do three more the rest of the year. Next year, I'm doing an iron man as well. Keep your head up and work hard is my advice to anyone that is going to go thru this journey. Remember, hard work conquers all.
