As you probably know I had major surgery early July (TKR) and rehab was much longer than I thought. I still can't do weighted squats or anything of the kind. I do isolate legs twice a week but work on ROM every day (breaking scar tissue is a pain).

Today was chest and back day

fasted cardio,workout,cardio post?

impressive
I get up, do fasted cardio. And I do another cardio session around 3pm. I want to burn as many calories as I can and also keep moving because of the knee. After surgery I had to learn walking again. Physio told me to use the treadmill and when I said that I already did he asked me if I was running. I told him that I'm not ready to run yet. One step at a time. After all having a TKR is like a double amputation. Everything has to "work" again. I wish I was the Six Million Dollar Man but I'm not, rehab is long and tough.
