Message: [QUOTE="bk250, post: 1280148, member: 72172"] I second BigRed's comment about NOT doing leg extensions. I too had a patellar tendon ACL replacement and the first thing the doctor (a sports injury specialist) and the rehab specialist said was to not do any weighted extensions. You do need to work hard on building the muscles up around the knee to help with stabilization. I am about 9 years post-op now and have started doing so leg extension work in the gym, but still only do about 40 lbs . The legs are strong enough to do much heavier weight, but I have no desire to go through that surgery and rehab again. [/QUOTE]
