MTM injures ACL again
- Thread starter DBT
- Start date
Miller and Stewart went down in games and I´d argue Ryan Miller was the costliest injury we had last season. Miller´s injury was only made worsr by the fact we´d lost MTM for the season only a few days earlier.
If this happens more and more often then there is NO doubt in my mind it's due to:
1. Adding too much mass when the tendon and ligaments around the joint aren't strong enough. Unlike adding muscle, adding strength to these areas takes much more time and effort. This doesn't have to happen, but if you put on too much mass before your body is ready....
2. ****ty squatting. The cleans in the video were horrendous, but quarter squats put a lot of strain on the knee and it doesn't help that the ROM doesn't help strengthen a ligament/tendon. I definitely feel different when I quarter squat more weight than I should versus when I go ass to grass on a heavy, but lighter weight (but still struggle since the ROM is much greater). My knees take a beating on the former and are fine on the latter.
