Not sure how bad the wrestling is or isn't but for the kid to wrestle 2 weeks after an ACL tear shows major heart... that is my take away anyway...
Lol. surely you didn't come to that conclusion watching this clip did you? If so, major props. Your eye is much better than mine.
Timmins is a very good wrestler.... but winning state with a torn ACL? LOL Nevada
Robles is a very good wrestler....but winning nationals with one LEG? LOL Ncaa wrestling
Robles was born with one leg. Timmins has had a healthy knee for 99.5% of his life. LOL analogy.
I tore my ACL when I was 21 playing in a flag football league.... I was young and had no insurance so I didn't repair it. I was quite functional on it, but there were some major drawbacks.
It took a couple weeks after initial injury before I could even put real weight on it. Then if I stepped on a pebble wrong or lost my balance a little...Pop...down I went. 100s of times this happened and I would pop it back and go about my day. On four occasions I had to go and have it popped back as for some reason I couldn't get it myself.
Obviously some ACL injuries are worse than others, but with him suffering the injury just two weeks prior..... I can imagine the pain he must have been in. I also wonder if that wrap helped him at all, nothing I tried seemed to help. Consider me impressed.
I was finally able to afford the surgery to replace my ACL when I was 26. Before surgery my knee could move 18mm, post surgery (although I'm sure it's even better now) was 7mm.

Jordan Burroughs is a very good wrestler.....but winning a World Championship with a broken ankle? LOL Earth
Oh take it easy... just busting your nuts a little. Blame it on the job. I'm bored and they don't give me enough work.

Feel the same. Always a long week and a half between Big Tens and NCAAs. I'm trolling the Nevills thread as you read this.
4 weeks recovery for a 6-8 week injury vs. 2 weeks recovery for a 9-12 month injury.

Thank you johnstownsteel for the easy cut-and-paste
