Welcome back Andy! The wound is all healed up and it is time for Andy to start scaling and modifying group WODs so that his General Physical Preparedness can be maintained as his new, bionic knee acclimates to its new home. Orthopedic surgeons say it takes about a year to be “back to normal” after a replacement surgery like this but what to do in the meantime? Do PT on the knee to get it back up to speed while sitting on the couch eating bon bons? I should say not… work on weaknesses and increase capacity in those movements where improvement is still possible, irrespective of the healing joint. We scaling and modify WODs each and every training session- for many reasons- and Andy is going to keep coming back. When the knee is completely ready… he will be hitting the ground running at full stride (figuratively speaking of course).
For Andy, and all of us at the Hut… it’s a way of life.Friday’s WOD at 7 and 9am, again at 3 and 5pm
