yeah very true... and the TLR isn't light from what I've heard. I was think'n squats and stepups would be basically the same movement.. but I guess now that I think about it it's more the pulling on your knee with extensions that would be stressful on the structure |

I would start on an elliptical, which is low stress. Use the elliptical without holding on to the handles. Using the machine in this method will help you get your muscle balance back. When you have trauma to either wheel, you unconsciously compensate with the other leg, and lose a lot of muscle balance. An exercise bike also works, but I found that it didn't work my bad leg as well as an elliptical. A bike also doesn't help the balance muscles. After you feel good on the elliptical, seated leg presses and v-squats will help rebuild the quad and surrounding muscles. Start out light with lots of reps, then work your way up. Oh, and don't forget to stretch. Get your range of motion back as soon as possible. Again, good luck. It sucks being hobbled.

And I was also going to suggest the seated leg presses since they seem to put a lot less stress on my knees when I do them compared to true squats. |

No problem. I wound up joining a cheap gym for $19 per month and ruined their equipment.
