    I know ACLs are much more complicated than other injuries, but I have a feeling that Timber will be back earlier than expected when he first got injured

      No shot. An ACL injury isn’t the equivalent to a broken bone. The slow part of the ACL recovery is the graft healing. The graft is at its strongest immediately after the surgery and then weakens for a few months before starting to heal fully. You can feel “strong” but the graft isn’t full strength for months. Notice all of the exercises he is doing are front to back as opposed to side to side.

      It’s just not going to happen regardless of your feelings, the healings needs time. It’s 8+ months unless Lars is used which it wasn’t in this case.
