Still healing, not rolling yet, but I have found that due to my adaped no knee stress game, my hip dexterity is really poor, so I'm adding that onto the end of my physio.
Nope, I do my physio daily at home, I see a physio once a fortnight for progress review And changes, I expect to get discharged from them in a few more sessions.
Update - still having physio, ive taken up regular swimming, which is doing wonders for cardio and core strength, and I'm back to training and rolling 8 plus hours a week, I'm still picking my rolls, but I'm 60% plus back to normal, looks like my healing factor is working! I'm leaving Judo until I'm 100% better though.
Quick update, Winter makes me limp, Rolling is very tiring now that I can move, so that's good, randori in Judo is constantly panick inducing, physio is really hard work, and my cardio is Terrible. And I'm loving training again, even though it's really hard work again. If you get the choice, avoid joint injuries.
So back too non rehab Strength work now. The only chance I get is straight after nogi so not ideal. First day of it, so just checking my form and not injuring myself are the main priorities! And I'm only going to keep a track of the major lifts, and I'm using KB in the morning in place of deadlifts, as they're safer, and allow my to do cardio at home without straining the knees. Rows - via a cable machine, light, no idea of weight, x3 sets of 20. Bench, oly bar 20kg X10, x 20, x20 Squats, olybar 20kg X10, x15, x20. Everything feels good.
In all honestly its relatively easy to avoid getting injured, 1) warm up properly, 2) don’t go to heavy on weights, 3) get plenty of rest between sessions and try to lift when you are fresh 4) Use protective equipment as appropriate, there’s a reason powerlifting moved towards geared assistance in the beginning, it went too far and now raw lifting is making a comeback, but there is a good reason why knee wraps, wrist wraps and belts came into being and why guys in there 40, 50’s and 60s who lift in gear are still lifting these days. Problem is 1) Is usually skipped until you actually injure yourself 2) Is an ego thing that people always ignore 3) Is hard to do if you are lifting and training martial arts 4) Can be expensive and people use assistance equipment wrongly
Squats Olybar only x20, 20kg x15, x20, 25kg x 20. Bench Olybar only x20, 20kg x10, 25kg x 15, x15 Rows, cable weight - 10kg x 20, 20kg x20, 30kg x20, 30kg x15 And Finish with stretching, nothing overworked. I'm only doing lightish weights for now but once I'm a little happier with stability etc I'll drop the reps and up the weight.
so this week there has been no weights / swimming etc due to easter so half an hour of stretching and core exercises will have to do. I've been looking at the kimura grip in general, and specifically from half guard, (top and bottom, attack, defense, and countering the defense), and using it in rolling a lot for this coming month. My main resources were my coach, chris brennan, Firas Zahabi, Garry Tonnan.

2 hours gi training today. My late late kimura defense didn't work, and neither did my new early kimura grip strip, but I managed to work my escapes from bottom reverse mod scarf to mount on a much heavier purple belt, plus roll with whitebelts (no injuries plus learning = win) restricting myself to the weekly class topic.
