As some of you may already know, last week, I competely tore the ACL of my left knee.  This occurred just days before my much anticipated competing in the North American Championships’ Figure Pro Qualifier in Cleveland, OH.  I have scheduled the start of my 4 week “Pre-Hab” - habilitation of the knee before I go under the knife.  I start Monday, so I will be sure to keep you all updated.  Besides, I’m sure I’ll need to let off some steam. Wow, I’d pay to be ABLE to do a lunge with moderate comfort. 

Well, my 2006 NPC Figure competition year ended prematurely.  The evening (9/13) that I was packing for my trip to Cleveland, OH for the North American Championship (9.16/06), I busted my knee.  It’s confirmed that I tore the ACL and other rather extensive damage.  Irony - hours before, I worked LEGS.  Yes, lunges, hack squats, etc.
