9 weeks post op bilateral THR.  
began with body weight box squats 2 weeks post op gradually lowering the box, nothing too structured. Began a standard LP 3 weeks ago. Squats are still a little high so I am working on depth and suspect as it gets heavier the weight will help with the depth. I experience and somewhat struggle with fear/ avoidance behavior. Working on maintaining a positive attitude and avoiding catastrophic thinking. Still get a little anxiety when it’s time to work out and have to talk myself into not talking myself out of it. Always glad I did afterwards.

Notes: played with width a little between 2nd and 3rd sets. Depth is still an issue. I do not get the stabbing pain as I did pre op towards the bottom and I am probably a little deeper now than I could get pre op. So I think it’s just a matter of time and persistence. So today’s experiment seemed to show that my ideal inside heel width, for now is about 12”. That may widen out over time, we’ll see.

Notes: pain in top of movement at hip extension point, which is funny because pre op pain was always at the bottom. I couldn’t do DL PRE OP and was doing Rack Pulls instead
