: ACL Post Op week 8 summary
Firstly apologies for the lack of updates - have been busy with work and since my rehab volume has increased to 5-6 sessions per week in addition to 6 upper body sessions per week things have been a bit mad.
Anyway to summarise from where I left off (week 8) I have been working hard on developing my hamstring strength using a variety of methods (isometrics, eccentric work and focusing on control). Luckily I'm now starting to feel a bit stronger and more confident with the hamstring. In terms of my ACL it has been good - next to no pain and movement is good. Having worked on building up my goblet squat with a kettlebell, I have progressed onto barbell work; incorporating back squats, rdl, split squats etc. Also shown is basic ankle weight hamstring curls for high reps (50-100 reps). This high rep method has been used in Westside Barbell to develop hamstring endurance and robustness in their elite level powerlifters and athletes.
Will post a summary of this week (no9) tomorrow hopefully!
Music is "fix up look sharp" - hamstring on the mend and feeling better than ever!
