4 exercises helping me get back on the court after ACL Reconstruction Surgey 🏀

At this stage of my ACL recovery, training isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about rebuilding the strength, control, conditioning, and confidence I’ll need to play again.

These are 4 exercises from one of my recent sessions with @mariapereira_pt and why they’re part of my training:

🦵🏽 Leg Extensions → quad strength + knee extension
💪🏽 Floor-Seated Lat Pulldowns → upper-body strength
🛷 Sled Pushes → lower-body force production
🚴🏾‍♀️ Assault Bike Sprints → full-body power + conditioning

Swipe through to see why I’m doing each movement, what it’s training, and how I believe it will transfer to the basketball court.

The goal isn’t just to finish out the 9 months of recovery. It’s to be ready for everything the game asks of me when I get there.

4 months post-op. Still working. Still building. 🏀🦿

TRANSFER: Helps with upper-body strength for contact, rebounding, and controlling your body during the game

TRANSFER: Trains repeated full-body bursts of power needed for acceleration, transitions, and explosive plays.

TRANSFER: Develops leg drive and force production for acceleration, sprinting, and pushing through contact.
