I'm ALL IN. I always want to be ready and capable to do anything. I never want to have to say no to something because I'm not physically able or too scared. Fear and inability will NOT control my life. It will not stop me from experiencing everything I want to in this lifetime. Fuck doubt. Fuck being stagnant. Whatever it is I set out to do, I'm giving 100%. No matter the challenge, no matter the risk, I'm ALL IN.
My parents who have been married for 39 years told me 3 things to me for marriage (I'm single) never stop holding hands and kissing, always say love you goodbye and good night before bed and have hobbies together an apart.
How can you do PT when it's so swollen? And, doesn't PT cause it to swell even more? You look awful young. What happened for you to get a TKR so young? I'm 62 and will be getting my right knee done in January 2025.
Hello, new subscriber here. I ask a question about bike size. I was given a Schwinn Sidewinder with 26" tires. I am 6 foot 1 210lbs. Obviously the bike does not fit me. Riding position is uncomfortable and maneuverability suffers. Is there any value in attempting to adjust the bike (even buying new/different parts) so as to make the bike fit me? Is this a task that has any chance of turning out well? If the answer is "no" I will just fix all issues with the bike (gear selection issues) and donate it (hate to donate something like a bike that does not work right, besides being unsafe the person that gets it, likely a child will be disappointed.) I am not going to be riding much on trails so a light weight frame is important to me. I ask for suggestions regarding a bike manufacture/model to consider priced under 500.00 used. Thanks.
I’m 76 and due to have TKR. My daily routine is gym for 2 hours, lunch, walk 3 to 6 miles, even with a painful knee. My main concern is when will I get back to the gym. This video is very comforting, hope I don’t overdue the rehab and cause myself problems. Thanks Matt. I’ll keep watching.

Hey Matt, I messaged a few years ago. I’m still trying to find the right ortho for my procedures given me unique case. But I was curious now that you’re several years out. How’s training and strength going? Still feel amazing? Any problems maintaining basic levels of strength and muscle?
Inspiring. Injave thought for years it was just me with massive amount of knee surgerys and different procedures ranging close to 20 total. Still maintained my Life only God knows how I did it. But getting a TKR later this year finally. I would love to see your rehab on paper that Dr Jordan Shallow helped you develop.
This is an excellent video for a guy like me who is going for a TKR in a couple of weeks (1 first and the second 6 weeks after). I am a 60 Y-O very active guy who plays tennis at least 3 days a week and go to the gym regularly, do bicycle and other many things. I had a car accident in my early 20s and broke the dashboard with the knees. since there, 3 surgeries and dealing with pain for many many years. As everyone who goes for a TKR as a last resource, I am scared of the results. Most videos out there are about people older than me who just need to walk the dog again, hit some golf balls, do regular activities and things like that. That's not my case, I want to keep going, play a lot of competitive and recreational sports, and keep being super active. I am glad to see a mid-age athlete happy with the results of a TKR, that's very encouraging. Thanks.
Im about 390lbs and want to ride a bike to get exercise and lose the weight while not beating up my hips and joints. Do they have bikes for guys my weight?
Good for you/me. I been going flat black and my wife likes it. Breaks up the boring day to day. If my hands weren’t so important for my job I would do my hand nails as well.
Matt, thanks for all your great content. My knees are shot, pretty sure both need to be replaced. Tell me, do you reach a point after the TKR surgery and rehab where your knee feels reasonably normal and pain-free again? Do you move now without being conscious of your knee?
I'm 64. I had a TKR, then cancer, chemo, surgeries, and then an ankle fusion, all in the last 4 years. I'm squatting, deadlifting, benching, and doing accessory exercises like good mornings and leg extensions. Early on, I did a lot of pedalling to improve my range of motion. Yesterday, I was leg-pressing 700 lbs 10 reps for 5 times. Movement is your friend.
What does Matt mean by catch with the left hand? During part of the rotation is the left arm following the handle but not actually contributing to the rotational force?
For me, mace is an absolute game changer for my calisthenic training. I use a light/medium mace to understand mind body connection and awareness of which muscles are triggered and tweak it to its best optimised position and understand “biomechanics” movement.
