Did a pm session of half assed conditioning.

1 min battle ropes seated
1 min row. Foot on skateboard
1 min hands only assault bike
1 min ski erg
10 sec between each
Couldn’t get intensity too high but better than nothing. Plus got a pretty good pump in the arms
Heading home to ice, shower amd eat

@Kad1 almost didn’t recognize you with the hard hat on and facial hair

 

[Kad1]

I forgot to shave

 

[Kad1]

Just got down at the surge’s office. He doesn’t think I did any damage wants to give it a few days to calm down. So that’s good news.
I’ll post up my training and diet tonight when I get home

 

[Bigmurph6]

That’s great news
Take it easy brother give yourself a week atleast lol your body just went through alot and you have had two close calls.
Im not saying don’t hit the gym just take a couple days like the doc said I know that isn’t your normal terminator protocol but it probably is best.

 

[Kad1]

Will do. Using my crutches for the next few days and trying to stay off my feet. I’ll still do a little something in the gym but nothing crazy. Everything will be seated or lying down

 

[Kad1]

Going to make a post tonight on some rehab/ prehab work for knees

 

[Bigmurph6]

You know I will be looking forward to reading and discussing because my knee has been destroyed for my whole life anything that might help an older injury?

 

[Kad1]

Yeah I’ll put some stuff I. There for you as well. Everything that I post can be done to prevent an injury or rehab both new an old injury

 

[Bigmurph6]

Cool

Just low carb till dinner. I always eat carbs at night to aid in sleep

 

[Kad1]

What do you have going on with your knee? Have you ever done any of the exercises I posted?

 

[Bigmurph6]

Yesterday you said that you were going to post prehab and rehab for old injuries of the knee if you did I missed them some how did you?

 

[Kad1]

I posted a buncn of videos

 

[Bigmurph6]

My knee was torn to just a sliver of the tendon holding on and it ripped through all the cartilage around the back.
Now I have a huge amount of scar tissue on the tendon. I also have a large ball of water behind my knee where the cartridge was I should have had surgery but I believe that we couldn’t afford it so it was a full boot for 9 months or something crazy and then a knee brace thing for awhile I don’t even remember it has been in pain for almost 30yrs.

Ok so pain is where the patella tendon is? Front of the knee with fluid on the back ( hamstring side)?
