    Things that work the legs in the sagital plane would be would be things like leg presses and squats?

    I am kind of surprised my trainer hasn't thought of this issue, especially since he is a mountain biker and he is quite good. Once I speak with the physical therapist we will discuss this, but of course winter is coming anyway. I do not do ANYTHING less than full throttle forward, so I really only have myself to blame.
