I have been hitting legs 2 times a week for the last 2 months. Before that i was really slacking, just focusing on regaining full rom on both ankles and knees.

Im impressed with your recovery so far. The difference in this picture is amazing. Im a few years further post ll and my legs are still kinda skinny haha. any tips on how you got the mass back in your thighs?  Are you doing mostly heavy weight training at the gym when you do legs?

Thank you so much! I have been hitting calves 2 times a week, hamstrings 1x a week and quads 1x a week. Each on separate days. Main focus is going heavy with less reps. Also make sure you are eating enough protein and drinking plenty of water to help your muscles grow.

I usually do about 5-6 different exercises for each muscle group and mix it up at least every 3 weeks to confuse your muscles and make them grow. Doing the same exercises causes your muscles to plateau.

Quick update:

Just had all 4 rods removed with Dr Kulesh, Dr Solomin and their team on Feb 1st!
I actually went back to work on the 7th and 8th but man it wasnt easy at all.
Every day im feeling better, just had my wife remove all my stitches today but really think its going to take about a month to recover from this. Kind of thought it would be a smoother process than inserting the nails but i was really wrong!
Dont take rod removal lightly guys!
Im just glad im finally done with all this and im ready to put all this behind, recover once more from this last surgery and just move on.

Hey Jim, I hope you are doing well and you get better everyday!
How would you rate your experience with Dr. Kulesh and Dr. Solomin?
Was it hard to communicate with them and the staff?
How was your experience with LON femurs?
Thank you!

2 years post nailing running video

Just want to say this, if you think youll be close to your previous LL athletic ability after doing LL your crazy. Im nowhere near! Getting closer every year but i highly doubt ill be as fast.

The drop foot on my left foot set me back a lot and my left foot gets tired after running so much. Especially since im back at my previous job order picking and basically jogging and on my feet for 8-10 hours a day.

Overall i think im doing pretty good. I had knee pain but its slowly going away now that i been focusing my workouts mostly on my knees.

Hi Jim,

Why did you opt to get the rods removed? Is there less discomfort after the removal? I just had nailing done and the area where my locking screws are located hurt quite a bit when standing or pressing directly on it.
