Will you stand with Dr. Ben Carson against Cancel Culture?

I had a friend tear his ACL playing basketball. He was one of my fellow Strength Coaches with the Diamondbacks (MLB). He decided to postpone his surgery until after the season and he spent the entire season getting as strong as possible. His recovery was remarkable.

ebrahangs have been a daily protocol for me since his vid came out. so cool to see the science discussed on your pod!

I had a friend who had an ACL tear and had surgery. The doctor sent him home without crutches, a wheelchair, or a knee brace. Poor bastard had to walk up and down stairs in his house day 1. Recovered very quickly!

Literally if you don’t use it, you lose it!

Hi how did you define load at the 2 day and 9 day mark? Isometrics and range of motion or something more? Thanks

Crazy how loading up pays off post-op! #RemarkableRecovery

But they sent anyone willing to load two days after surgery just insanely more willing to endure anything for recovery?
