I'm getting to the point where the squatting/leg pressing I am doing is too easy.....but I have had an ACL repair and torn meniscus repair in my right knee so I am a big nervous about continuing to up the weight.

I've gone as high as leg pressing 18 plates (9 45lb plates on each side) 10 times for my last set, although usually I don't push myself past 14-16.

I just squatted 280lbs 10 times for my last set yesterday and feel like I have so much more in me.

I've got a call into my doctor, but was wondering if anyone else here has been in a similar situation and how they handled it.
