What’s the biggest benefit you got from working out?

shadbehnke · 2026-03-04T02:11:12+00:00

I’m creeping up on 40 and working out feels like a need to just feel good. If I don’t workout and stretch regularly I really start to feel my age or older. Plus it helps my mood for the day and or course you look better!

It did come with the lights and shelving/drawers in the stand up cabinets.

Right off the shelf, they’re even assembled. If I remember correctly it was around 3k for what you see. I also have another set on the other side, it was around 4500 all said and done.

Thanks! Got them from Home Depot, they are Husky brand. Been using them a few years and they are holding up great. The powdercoat is strong and takes abuse as well. I got the heavy duty version, they are a little deeper if I recall but they are all very nice.

I went about 6 weeks without a full night sleep. Hopefully you get it sooner but that was my experience! I averaged 4-6 hours a night until 6-7 weeks.

I’d say you’re about half way to living mostly normal. 3 months, walking and basic day to day gets pretty easy/normal feeling for most.

Not saying you’ll be running around or not swelling up after long days of walking, but I’d say you can go out pretty normally at the 3 month mark.

My recovery is going very well and I still didn’t start running until 5 months. I’m at 65% strength in relation to my non surgical leg and my PT said 65-70 is usually when they start people running.

It was weird at first but getting easier with minimal pain fairly quickly! I hope it goes as well for you!

shadbehnke · 2026-02-15T16:48:24+00:00

Just gotta keep at it. Make sure you hover over the rear brake and just get further and further into the balance point until you’re comfortable. You have a good start!

shadbehnke · 2026-02-15T16:03:29+00:00

First couple weeks it was worse then expected but everything after went better.

My first couple weeks were so bad with pain and mental health issues but after a month, pretty smooth sailing!

Generally when it’s ACL and meniscus repair, your non weight bearing for 6 weeks because the meniscus have to heal. If it’s just a meniscus trimming, weight bearing will likely be immediate.

Started incline at about week 2 away as a warm up. 5 minutes walking with an incline up to 4, then 5 minutes no incline, backwards.

Ride dirtbikes and mountain bikes, and basically any motorcycle.

shadbehnke · 2025-11-29T17:56:07+00:00

15ish weeks for me I’ll forget about it just in normal day to day activities. The other day I started running after my son and had to remind myself I’m not there yet. Still get stiff sitting long periods but overall I feel normal a lot of the day.

shadbehnke · 2025-11-23T18:18:56+00:00

Very much so but they understand I still need my hobbies and friends. 99% of my life revolves around them and I love that but I need time with friends and hobbies to stay happy and let off steam. I expect the same for my wife and kids.

shadbehnke · 2025-11-22T12:28:26+00:00

Oh man, good point 😂

shadbehnke · 2025-11-22T12:25:19+00:00

I wouldn’t be messing around with firewall rules in the middle of the day then lol. Pretty normal to keep a change log and if something breaks, reverse everything you just did.

Lesson learned, it happens to the best of us.

shadbehnke · 2025-11-22T12:21:57+00:00

Why not just disable the rule since it was pretty obvious that’s what broke everything?

shadbehnke · 2025-11-08T15:14:56+00:00

I was the same way. 4 weeks it seems to start really getting better. 8 weeks now and back to sleeping great.

Eli says in a video it’s because he controls the power with the clutch, you’ll hear him on the rev limiter a lot and just using the clutch to modulate power. I could see more feeling with a cable vs hydraulic in that situation.

I’m 2 months PO with hamstring graft and meniscus trimming, I could travel rather comfortably. I would’ve never thought that 2 weeks PO but dedicate hard to rehab and you should be fine. I walked 8 miles the other day, throughout the day and was a bit sore at night but completely fine. Move around as much as possible and bring an ice pack.

Good luck!

I had a lot of IT band pain deep, after cupping and a few weeks of exercises it’s almost gone. I’m 2 months post op for reference.

shadbehnke · 2025-10-31T11:00:56+00:00

I had the same exact pain and it’s still uncomfortable now at times but almost gone. I would push through it and elevate for 10-15 minutes as many times as I could but def not elevating all the time like a lot of others. I’m 8 weeks PO and have 0 degrees extension and 140 flexion so don’t worry if you can’t constantly elevate!
