Hello weight loss fitness forum,
About 2 years ago I hit my heaviest weight of 146kg at 6ft tall. I can remember looking in the mirror and it was just horrible then I had to weigh myself for the first time in many many years, and it was shocking. So I decided to start taking up the gym and changing my diet a little. I stopped drinking fizzy drinks and started going to the gym 4 days a week. Now, 2 years later I weigh 108kg which is awesome but I am still wanting to get a little lighter.
Anyway, About a month ago I had a motorbike accident and injured my knee. Ever since I am unable to squat due to slight pain but more to the fact it's the fear my knee might just give way or worse. So I started looking through different training techniques to go around squatting and to be honest there is just nothing like it.
Now my last option by looks of it is the knee supports but when I am looking at them online, does that piece of material actually do the job? What are you guys experiences with knee supports? or even better have you got any ideas that might get my knee into good working shape again?
Really looking forward to speaking with you guys and hopefully getting my squat on again haha
Thanks
