new personal best- a bit of a brag
Many years ago when I was in college I was hit by a car while crossing the street. The accident wrecked both knees badly but the right was worse. I lost one of my anterior crucate ligaments and most of the cartilage. Finally after many year of weight loss, 7 years of riding and countless hours in the gym with a trainer teaching my right leg to work properly, I have achieved parity in my knee strength in spite of severe arthritis in the right knee (45 years of no cartilage). Yesterday at the gym I successfully did 20 single leg press with my right knee at 120 pounds which is the same weight that I can do on my left. I also did 25 double leg press at 240 pounds which is more than I have ever pressed before! Not bad for an arthritic 66 year old still out of shape woman.
