Anyone here ever worked on the rehab for a patella dislocation with medialpatellofemoral ligament rupture. I need to have the ligament reconstructed with surgery. It happened a month ago and the atrophy on my quad already is ridiculous.

How much work will be required before I am back playing football? My physio reckons 6 months, but I work hard at my fitness and usually recover quicker than most from injuries so I'm hoping it could be sooner

Anyone got any good healthy meal ideas worth trying?

Stir fry!

Load it with chilli, garlic, ginger, onion, coriander, lime, soy, 5 spice, as many veggies as you can think of, egg noodles and chicken if you want protein.

Fast and delicious.

Alright fellas,
Still on my way to losing weight, not doing too badly. Cut alot of the shit out of my diet, alternating between insanity workouts and 3 mile runs every day so getting a lot fitter that way and losing weight.

Still struggling with my diet a bit I think, it is mainly snacks that kill me.

Any recommendations for any "healthy" snacks that I can buy in?

Fruit, yoghurts, protein shakes, nuts, rice cakes?

For the lads who have a lot of experience lifting (FI, QR and dirty H plus others). What's your view of focusing on the negative part of a lift? This week I have been playing around with my routine and with my two last sets on each lift taken 5 seconds on each negative. I have not suffered with doms for a long time but fuck me this week has been bad, I just hope that it will so benefits!!

My gym have just got a couple of the full range of X-Force equipment in that works on the principle of initial lift for 3 seconds, hold for 1 and negative for 5. The best bit of it is whatever weight you have on the lift, the stack tilts 40% as you hold for the 1 second, so the negative is a 40% increase. the gains i'm having from these machines is unreal compared to free weight routines I was doing. You only do 1 set at 10-12 reps and it's doing it's job for me so far.

Cheer DH, that was a good read. Today will should be my first leg day training like this, really thinking of moving days around so that leg day will be before a day off work as I imagine work could be a very long day tomorrow as I waddle around in pain.

Just remember to ease yourself into it first mate, it's more of an 'advanced' principle/technique and can easily lead to injury and CNS overload if you're not careful, a weeks 'deloading' every now and then won't go amiss on this one bud (ie a week where you just ease off a bit) :-).
