I was doing dumbbell lunges across the gym and pulling the sled but my right knee has a meniscus strain. It’s been feeling better lately so I could add some back in. Just don’t want to do traditional squats.Do you do any free-weight leg exercises?
Used to really love that exercise. I’d go down the hallway at the gym. But had a mri on my right knee and they said it’s a meniscus strain. That’s just a bullshit way of saying it’s torn but not very bad. So I’ve been nursing that for a while. It does feel good though, so I could start to add those back into my workout.try some lunges with weights pulled them in each hand
That is one exercise that terrifies me. I’ve had 3 inner meniscus tears in my life and I’m basically just scared to do some of those workouts. I currently have a partial tear that is about healed up. And I’m just trying to avoid injuries at this point. Maybe if I start on a taller box?I would look into doing box squats if you want to push the leg strength
Thanks for the advicemake sure your last sets are the ones you push the failure
Some kid at my gym does that at like a 30° incline. I don’t like him.Walking backwards on a treadmill might be a good option to help strengthen your knees. I do this everyday I do cardio. Best my knees have felt in years.
I go 15 degree as that is the max it goes. I only do 75 sec at a time and do it 5 times in a 65 min period.Some kid at my gym does that at like a 30° incline. I don’t like him.
I’ll give it a try. Thanks manI go 15 degree as that is the max it goes. I only do 75 sec at a time and do it 5 times in a 65 min period.
Thanks bro! I appreciate it.You have a good base. Look great once you get those delts capped. And bit more arm size. Your going the right direction. Keep at be consistent you be in gains city1![]()
In addition to what roidrage suggested consider dragging the sled backwards is awesome for knees, I pull a cart loaded with weight backwards around my yard for my knee injury works great can do pistol squats againI was doing dumbbell lunges across the gym and pulling the sled but my right knee has a meniscus strain.

Definitely try the backwards walking first, build up to weighted backwards cart drag, a tib bar is also awesome at that stage, easy to just make one but can buy them onlineThanks for the suggestion! I will give it a try.
I’m unfamiliar with the tib bar. Perhaps I’ve seen one and just never knew the name. I’ll look it up. And yes, I will walk before I do that. I appreciate the advice.Definitely try the backwards walking first, build up to weighted backwards cart drag, a tib bar is also awesome at that stage, easy to just make one but can buy them online
