As some of you fellow Hermanites whom i have spoke with along with Scott, know of my knee injury, well i would call it more of a knee destruction than an injury lol if you do not know and would like to check out my bio, other forums, or simply ask i dont mind. The injury happened 4 months ago, i was on crutches for the first 12 weeks, i lifted here and there but mainly just went through the motions for something to do, and so my muscles didn't get too far gone. These last 6 weeks since ive been off crutches ive been going pretty hard. My goal was to get as close perforance wise as i could(which isnt a whole lot) to what i was pre-injury. This week i succeeded in my two performance goals, bench and pull-up. 135x5 bench and 21 reps pull-ups.
I have another surgery coming up in a few months, i will know when march sixth, but after i will be on crutches another 6-8 weeks. I am pretty small for my age 5'6.5'' 125lbs, so i was thinking of trying a powerlifting style program, with the thinking that only so much muscle will more so much weight so it may help muscle gain in a non-traditional approach, i have never tried one before and would like, to and if i get a better strenght base getting back at it after the next surgery will be easier.
I do not know where to start with the plan however because i am unable to do alot of traditonal powerlifting moves, if i could get help from Scott and the comunity on making on that is fit for me and my condition it would be much appreciated.
Feel free to ask any questions about any info anyone willing to help needs!
