Hey All,
Another noob to the forum.
I've had a few years experience lifting weights, but not much much for the past 10 years.
2 years ago I hiked the Bibbulmun track. It was awesome but 300kms in, I started getting knee pain. Being the stubborn bugger I am i kept going for the remainder 700kms. I ended up with significant holes where my cartelidge should be.
The surgery I had 10 months ago was bilateral tibial transfers also known as patella reallignment
. I've done the rehab thing - strengthening the vastus medialus and other supports.
I've started back with deadlifts 5x5 @ 100 - 130 kgs and some very light squats 3x20 @ 20 - 60 kgs.
Has anyone else had this surgery? If so, did you ever get back to normal? What do you guys think about leg work following the surgery?
I've done a bunch a work of the leg ext and leg curl as well as the 45 deg leg press - light weights. But now the gym has closed, I'm back to the home gym.
Cheers
