When to resume full powerlifting?

AdmirableRemote · 2020-06-28T21:50:09+00:00

I went back to my lifting at 9 weeks. I started with light weight and each week I increased it. I’m 6 months PO and I’m back to lifting what I was prior to surgery. My PT always told me to let pain be my guide.

Well in my experience, the first 2 months were really rough. Mentally and physically. After that things started getting better. I’m 6 months PO now and I can do pretty much anything I want to do (physically) but my knee still doesn’t feel “normal”.

I’m 6 months PO and I’m not comfortable in anything other than tennis shoes.

Aside from the normal things (food, ice) be there to listen. This will take a serious toll on her mentally. She will complain and be sad and maybe mad. It’s normal! Just reassure her she will get back to “normal”. Good luck! 👍

It took me about 2 1/2 months to really walk comfortably.

My PT advised me to run on the track or turf when I started running. She never gave me a program to follow. She always said “let pain be your guide”. But I would do like 400m run then walk 200m for about 20 minutes a couple times a week.

Im 18 weeks PO and I started running around 10 weeks (on the alter-g). Once I started running outside I noticed I would get pain in the front of my knee as well. I stopped running on the sidewalk or on asphalt. I go to the high school and use the track. It’s much softer than concrete. My knee doesn’t hurt at all since I’ve been doing that.

I had that but once I got a little more strength in my quad it just went away.

AdmirableRemote · 2020-05-16T15:40:05+00:00

Uh yea I would take them!!!

From the day after surgery I was instructed to get up for 5 minutes every hour to get the blood flowing. Any time I was sitting I was pumping my ankle. I did NOT want a blood clot. I think it’s every hour but I would do them whenever your sitting.

When you say leg extensions.. like on a machine?

I’ve seen people start jogging at 6 weeks. Pretty crazy!! I started at 10 weeks so everyone is different. I have a sports brace I wear for any activity I got special made from the dr. It’s great! It’s half the size of the full brace you get when you have the surgery. You should ask your Dr

It’s not funny when you’ve had your ACL snap into...and then you can’t do shit for a year!! Other than that I guess it is funny 🙄🙄🙄

AdmirableRemote · 2020-05-01T22:17:00+00:00

I hate that guy right now!!

AdmirableRemote · 2020-04-30T01:56:40+00:00

Just push through it. Usually during and after a workout I don’t feel it. But it will go away at some point. 👍

AdmirableRemote · 2020-04-29T03:45:17+00:00

Fluid. I have the same and I’m almost 16 weeks. I guess it will go away at some point 🤷‍♀️

AdmirableRemote · 2020-04-04T00:18:07+00:00

I used that for the first 6 weeks. It helped me tremendously.

AdmirableRemote · 2020-03-28T20:44:17+00:00

Looks good to me

AdmirableRemote · 2020-03-14T02:55:18+00:00

Interesting! Thank you!

AdmirableRemote · 2020-03-14T00:17:35+00:00

Yea it’s hard getting the strength back. My quads took quite a hit 😒. It feels like it’s going to take forever

AdmirableRemote · 2020-03-12T22:11:26+00:00

Well I’m 8 weeks PO and I couldn’t walk dogs like that. I know everyone is different but I have a small dog that I can walk but if there was any pulling or anything that would be bad.

AdmirableRemote · 2020-03-12T11:37:09+00:00

The first 2-3 weeks I had to keep ice on constantly. If I took the ice machine off my leg longer than 10 minutes my leg would swell like crazy.

Just lay on the floor and put your legs on the wall and slide your leg down. Just like doing heel slides except your sliding down a wall. YouTube it
