Box squats 7 weeks after hip replacement surgery

[bigtallox]

After 6 weeks my surgeon said I could start adding weight, today I got a post hip surgery box squat PR. It's feeling good, like I could squat 500+.

You have great advise on this forum and i am glad to see you back in action. Looks like you are well on your way.

Stay patient and you can recover to do great things again.

Very impressive. Hard to believe just 7 weeks and all that progress. Amazing.

I've been patient, it was very hard not to put another plate on the bar, lol, but I decided to take it slow.
It's not the best image, but here's the X-ray they took while I was on the operating table.

thats awesome.

Thanks.

I'm amazed too. Before surgery I didn't know what to expect, I thought I may be in bed for a month, but even 2 days after surgery I was able to get around pretty well ( I was back to work in a week ). It's nice to be lifting again. It's nice to have a good hip again.
