Full Squats?

dlivings

Hi All, I’m 2 years into my new hip. Gradually getting back into running. I’ve added a good bit of resistance training including lower body. My thinking is that if my leg muscles are strong it would help lower impact to the new hip – in addition to just being stronger for runs

With this in mind I have a pretty specific question- does anyone have experience with doing full squats with weights to 90 degrees – . I’ve been doing them 2x a week, but am now wondering if I’m overdoing it and maybe should use a less aggressive exercise like a machine.

 

any thoughts? Thanks -David

      Hello, it has been three years since I had my right hip replaced. My surgeon at the U of MN recommended against doing full squats, and also told me that the University of Minnesota football players are told not to do full squats as well. I have continued doing squats, but not full squats. The few times that I have mistakenly done full squats I have noticed pain in my right hip after.
