I'm now up to 85 lbs. on the reclining leg press AND the calf exercise. The left leg is still noticeably smaller than the right and doesn't yet have the muscle definition of the right but I'm making progress. I note that I can now squat and stand up without as much pain as I had previously. I still cannot lunge from a squat but just how many WSVets (1) can and (2) do this in competition? I'm delighted to get this far back to where I was before. Now if the ...
