Where did you play American Football?

What have you done to the knee? I blew out my right knee a while ago and had to have it reconstructed so if you want to know about my experiences with it and the rehab just give me a shout.

Hi Ant, nice to have you around.
I thought I'd post on the sympathy front. I'm out of action right now too (nothing as serious as your knee though).
Frustrating, isn't it. :angry: But take your time - get better first!

I've done a bit of powerlifting in my time - happy to give you any pointers or if you need to find a decent place to train.
Done some combat sports too - what were you thinking of trying?

And finally, I was also a fat kid - now I'm a fat old bloke! :lol:

PS Nice to see more species joining the forum, Ant - I was feeling a bit lonely amongst all these humans.
I know mooses and ants aren't too similar, but the revolution has to start somewhere...
;)
