Any suggestions on a one legged lower body work out? My right shin was broken a month and a half ago near the knee along with some ligament damage. the shin was plated together. doc cleared me to go as hard as i want with the rest of my body ie left legs g2g. right leg cleared to bear 25lbs.

One legged extensions...curls and calf extensions. Workout like you're doing isolation type workout. Even with both legs working it's good to isolate now and then. I'd avoid the hurt leg til fully recovered. Short time of recovery or lifetime of leg problems and pain. My elbow is currenly cracked. Old man in mosh pit! So I'm sorta in opposite end of boat.
Yeah def need to let the leg recover a little more. its just the rest of my body is telling me lets goo! i agree with the one legged extensions. hope the elbow heals quick bro.
Take a low pulley and put a small straight bar on it. Tuck it into your elbows and cross your arms to support it .Put a bench under your butt for safety and you can do one legged squats. Leg extensions are easy, just do one leg instead of two. For leg curls if you have a lying leg curl same deal, just do one leg. If the suat doesnt work out you can easily do one legged leg presses as well.
Im def gonna try the one legged squats with the pulley and bench for safety. Good lookin out.
Nice! Smith machine squats. Theres safety catches on smiths!
