Back to lifting!
I saw my orthopedic surgeon today and was given the go-ahead to lift again!
Hurray! I've had a very active recovery period with Ahmed working on my knee strength and muscle memory moves for the various lifts. I did bench press with Tom two times a week,. and actually saw some improvement over the six weeks! But, while the change of pace was fun...I am glad to be back on the platform. My knee is a little stiff, but relatively pain free. I won't be doing any deep squatting or classic lifts until July 1, per Ahmed...all power cleans and snatches. The other sort of great news is that....I am back to cardio. No elliptical type stuff yet. I am restricted to the recumbent bike until I see the PT. I've actually been doing the bike for about a week, and was relieved to be able to do something that got my heart rate up! The hand bike was sheer torture...boring and almost no bang for the buck, calorie burning wise VS effort (at least as far as shoulders went!). Now, I can get back on track with my exercise. Hopefully, I will have no more bad news about my knees for a long time ! Elise.
