good luck bro :/ it's possible
I got into a car accident and both my knees have a torn meniscus and just healed from ACL and MCL sprains on both knees. lol. Still didn't get surgery probably won't and I just started working out my legs again. Surprised that I'm getting sore from doing 135 ATG squats. hopefully I can build back up again.Doggcrapp.

It should be pretty easy, unless you want to rep it like 10x.

So what you're essentially saying is that you want advice, except you don't want advice because you already have a "pretty solid workout plan".Originally Posted by aseid

I started squatting 2x a week a while back and it has helped me.

You already have a "pretty solid workout plan". There's no need to change it.Originally Posted by aseid

yeah like 2 x a week might be too much, you can probably go every 5 days if you want to work around it that badly, 3 times every 2 works or so, just keep squatting and you'll get up there, there's nothing better that will help you magically increase your squat but squatting, and remember to really use your hip flexors and glutes.
I bodybuild, I don't powerlift, as far as how much I can lift goes it doesn't matter to me, it's how much I grow.

To give you a serious answer, try the Coan/Phillipi deadlift routine. Hold on, I'll link it up since I'm a really nice guy.Originally Posted by aseid

Thar she blows. It only takes one day a week so you are left the other six days to do your other routine.*MFC Illuminati*

HAHA. NP. To rep, look in the lower left hand corner frame where the avatar is shown. It is the button in the middle. Click it and it is pretty self-explanatory.Originally Posted by aseid
