Turn me loose, Doc!

Saw the orthopedic surgeon again today. Two more weeks in my monster leg brace then it's off to physical therapy. Looks like PT will be about three months long (maybe less for good behavior }:) ). I'm making solid progress and we've opened up the brace to 90 degrees.

I tried to get a reason for why this might've happened but he didn't really have an answer for me. He said it was probably just the strength of the quad overpowering the tendon. So...don't be afraid to continue cleaning...


Tip of the Day: Deadlift
Your hips should not rise and your legs should not begin to straighten before the bar moves. If your hips have begun to move upwards before the bar does, then you are not being efficient! You are moving your body without moving the weight and are wasting energy. Once your legs start to straighten out before moving the bar, you have completely taken them out of the lift and are using only your back. Danger!
