It's been a year since my knee surgery (ACL recostruction and meniscus repair). I'm just beginning to do squats. It feels good to finally make progress.

That's good to hear. Are you wearing knee braces of any sort?
Did your Doc give th ok for squats?
Coming back from an ACL injury has got to be slow and patient work I would think.

I lost my health insurance at the end of last December. I had to leave physical therapy as a result. I got as much advice as I could get before losing the insurance and have been working diligently and slowly since. It's taken me much longer than I expected to get strength back in that leg. It seems odd to be able to bench press more than I can squat.
As for the brace. I still have one, but only wear it if I know I am going to be running.

test day!
60 snatch 65, 70 PR, 75 miss, 75 miss (both behind), 80 PR haha. i definitely could do more, in both the 75s i pulled too high and the bar fell down fast and behind and since my body wasnt as upright as it should be missed them
clean and jerk missed a few jerks with 80 due to uhm.. well its complicated and im bored to explain. finally got it right then got 85, 90, 95 all PRs
didnt try for more, but made a 100 clean PR

today's noteworthy achievement is 4*65 snatch
my back didnt feel so good during warming up for the jerks so i didnt clean and jerk much today.
