 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22826 posts | I was unaware of this. Good luck with the recovery. If I'd known you were bored I could have kept you busy with admin duties! Quarter squats? Inspired by Andy Bolton?  | ||

Member 1163, 217 posts SQ 390, BP 302.5, DL 3201012.5 kgs @ 161kgs Eq | Good to see things are going well though, i was lucky the doc looking after me dealt with pro footballers, and had the ethos get working, stabalise by building muscle and strength. | ||

 A World class farmer Member 576, 3429 posts SQ 350, BP 200, DL 400950.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Good luck Carl. An aggressive rehab programme will see you right much faster than medicine thinks. My 2 bits of advice: 1) Be proactive in rehab, keep thinking what can i be doing not what can't i do. 2) Celebrate the little victories. Hope that rehab plan helps you. | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | All the best for the rehab mate. A kid I coach was selected at hooker for England Under 18 in a few weeks but tore his ACL last week in training. Poor kid. I will keep an eye on the rehab programme he is put on as he has access to some top level physios. Any tips I pick up I'll let you know. | ||

Member 13, 14460 posts SQ 230, BP 180.5, DL 262.5673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq Administrator | Basically it wasn't diagnosed at the time as a torn acl, all te focus was in my shin, as I was led up for the skin graft on the shin, the knee calmed down, but numerous physios and doctors didn't find anything wrong with it, until I saw the surgeon after being referred, as soon as it was suspected by the surgeon it was about 6 weeks until I had my op. Frustrating it wasn't diagnosed at the time | ||
