[QUOTE="goranski, post: 133565"] i blew out my knee in january and went to physical therapy for about 2 months to get it back to strength, there was something weird wrong with the cartilage in my left knee and it turned out my left thigh was significantly smaller than the right anyway after doing alot of light weights and rehab in the pool concentrating on the quad region i've been back in the gym doing as much as i can, can't do leg extensions anymore though i have no problem doing the leg press yet can't go the full extension only 3/4 at the most on the press, i've been focusing on doing hamstrings also have no problem doing deadlifts (straight leg and regular) plus can do half-squats - throughout i've also tried doing stuff with a single leg to get both sides on equal footing i've recently returned to rugby training during the summer playing touch and rugby league in training with my local club and my knee has held up pretty well even in the tackle and hit up situations have yet to see how things will go in the scrums...i try not to worry about it although i do wear a knee brace good luck with your return to rugby - just do your best [/QUOTE]
