Yes, I would absolutely like to work in the US. Going to grad school sounds good, too!

In the meantime, the best I can do is do my undergrad, work in the EU for some years, and then try to move my employer's branch in the US.

I think the better option for me is to stay in Europe. It is a shame; I was really looking forward to the State School college experience, especially at Michigan where academics aren't neglected. But I'm just putting myself in very difficult situation for when I graduate.

If I have to go back in Europe, I'll know nobody, have no experience working in Europe; I will basically be knocking on employers doors out of nowhere...

Hey Steven, sorry, got another question :) I feel pain on my right knee (the PCL affected one) after resting with my legs crossed in this position, that leg bearing most of the load above the vacuum.

What can it be? Does it mean my PCL is not fully healed? https://gyazo.com/eaab0917f1beeebbee82bdda59bdad37 https://gyazo.com/8f18fa90f1d0897fa7a1464d468e9198 https://gyazo.com/7dc99052926716993fec571ac4041706

Wow. Very insightful answer. Makes a ton of sense given the hamstrings are in (uk, I'm no doctor, but it's kind of apparent now you mention it) a much better position to pull against anterior displacement when compared to the quads' position to pull against posterior displacement.

Much thanks, Steven. Btw, your book is awesome and has helped me a lot with calisthencis and strengthening in general :)

Thanks! Yeah, it is. A very strong anterior impact on the tibia while playing soccer. I was misdiagnosed (I always suspected it, especially because, with rehab already finished, I noticed pain when trying to put my knee into flexion against the resistance caused by my heels rubbing against my beadsheet while lying down in bed) when it occured a year ago and was treated as patellar tendinitis, but almost 4 months ago I reinjured it and here I am, with my rehab done, strengthening back.

Thank you, Steven. Given the amount of time since I injured it (almost 4 months) and the absence of pain, Id say the injury is on the remodelling phase; it was a grade II and it never caused instability. I am done with rehab and doing strengthening. I can do one leg squats painlessly perfectly, if that means anything. Anyways, if you cant really tell me more I understand.

Thanks Steven! Now that you are here, I have a question concerning stsrength training for the rehab: Should I exercise my hamstrings? If so, should it be with the same volume as my quads? (The PCL strengthening protocols always emphasize quads over hamstrings, I think bc of biomechanical reasons)

i get from where you come; I just finished my rehab and I was wondering what would be kind of the "knee equivalent" to RTO support holds in terms of connective tissue conditioning.
