While his team was on the road in Golden State on Monday, Andrew Bynum continued to rehab his injured left knee. Bynum suffered a subluxation of the patella and a bone bruise of the knee in the Lakers 100-99 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in mid-January. There remains no specific timetable for Andrew’s return. On Monday, Andrew continued to workout the knee through a series of of weight-training exercises aimed at strengthening the area where the injury occurred. The center also ran for several minutes on the team’s Alter-G treadmill that simulates low gravity situations. Since the machine controls what percentage of body weight a player runs on, it is less physically demanding for an athlete returning from an injury. For more details on Andrew’s recovery we asked Chip Schaefer, Lakers Director of Athletic Performance/Player Development, a couple quick questions. What types of daily drills is Andrew participating in? The primary focus of Andrew therapy at this point is for him to recover the strength of not only the muscles that control and stabilize his patella but additionally those that stabilize and control his foot and ankle all the way up the kinetic chain through his hip and back. This is accomplished through a combination of traditional weight training exercises such as squatting and various explosive movements utilizing Olympic lifting exercises.

I have stopped weight training for 5 months due to injury and i have just got back into training.
I used to be bench 100kg for 4 reps before and how long will it take me to get back upto what i was lifting ?
I have never started in this world of weight training with proper weights and blah blah blah. Well, let me start off witht he details. I am (I think) 5′10″, 150 lbs. or so, and completley unexperienced in this field. I was interested in trying to change my body for the better this summer since I have nothing to do. But I still have some stuff, and, therefore, do not want to spend all my day just working out. I am completley confused on what to use what to do etc. Please help!
Sorry, my age is 14, going to start high school in the fall.
Also, I don’t want to deal with a bunch of equipment, maybe something small like dumbbells or something similar. I also want to eat a good diet, but don’t want crazy protein shakes and stuff like that! I don’t mind natural healthy drinks though.
I also have access to pool, if that helps at all. I love to swim in it.
I also don’t want to work outside my home. Sorry if this is making it very hard, but this is what I have to work with. (The pool is at my home, by the way)

If this is true then how do you explain the absolute monster bodybuilders that emerge from prison…those guys have very limited means of equipment and most definitely a pretty bad diet, yet you see men in their later 60s in better shape than a lot of people in their late 20s. Can someone explain this please because while it may be true for aerobic exercises…i dont believe that it also applys to weight training.
I started weight training 2 weeks ago but dont know how to vary my exercises.
