My knees feel a lot better. I've been squatting without weights for a while now, and I almost feel no pain. I have no plans to play basketball soon because I don't want to risk anymore setbacks. I also don't wanna be holding back when playing. I'm tired of favoring my right knee when I play or avoiding things that I know will put a lot of stress on my knees. The next time I play I wanna be healthy enough that I won't be thinking about any of that.
I can't wait to start doing squats with weights. I need to get my legs stronger to get over the injury, and in the process I think I may add a few bonus inches to my jump. I'd never done squats or leg-presses before my injury, and I still jumped pretty high. And it's been said that there's a strong correlation between max squat strength and vertical jump performance. So personally I feel like squat strength is an untapped area for me right now that could take my vertical from good to great. The best part about this is that it's going to occur while I'm doing rehab exercises, and well before I start the Road to 50 workout regimen.
