Froggy brother's and sisters:
Do you have any specific dry land exercises you do for your knees. I know extensions and curls are good to stabilise.
Anyone have any other tips?

It's just a blip.
I'm hoping the remedial stuff won't be needed or this will be a short USMS career, and I'll stick to lapping. I'm not here for what I can do but for what I can do without overly risking injury.
Well, that's what I initially thought too. But I've pretty much had "swimmer's shoulder" since I first hopped back in the pool without thinking about the ole RCs. (There's even a diagnosis called "butterfly back" ...) Once you're back in though, it's hard to get back out. So then you take risks you perhaps shouldn't. It's good to be cautious and realistic though and realize that it's a long and winding road. It took me awhile to get that. I was always very focused on the next meet. I'm so mellow now ... :rofl:
Doing the remedial exercises can't hurt. It's just part of training. At least that's what I tell myself when I'm trying to do those ultra boring RC exercises. Hey, I should be doing those right now in fact ...
Jim: Poor SS is under the weather and you're being a big meanie! :thhbbb:
