I need a good leg workout without the severe compression of the powerlifting I have been doing for years, and which has taken its toll.
Welcome to AF.
Thanks for the welcome...
Powerlifting... ouch!
I do quite a bit of lifting, but no squats. Most leg press (isolated right from leg). If you've got some knee issue, let me know. I've been working as a trainer all of my life and tend to give all of my info away for free.
19 months ago I tore my achilles. Walked on it 2 weeks before we figured out it was a complete tear. 3 months after the operation I stepped in a hole and tore my calf from the top of the achilles, estimated 70%. We could not operate this one, as the bottom was shortened as it is. This past April, while playing baseball my knee (sam leg) sort of gave way while running after a ball. I caught it, but my knee started to crack. long story short, torn meniscus 3 degree. Operation was 12 weeks ago. I was back on the ball field 13 days later. Now my leg press is around 500 lbs (was over 800). I've had to become a bit of an authority in the field of recovery.
Anything you need... I'll see what I can do. It is a community here, right?
Meow!
