[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1582775, member: 245335"] Don't panic, I'm not thinking of entering the next Mr Universe or anything but I am hopeful of improving muscle strength in my legs. I did a lot of gym work before both of my knee replacements and from what I was told my recovery period was very good because I'd put some effort into it before the ops. Tomorrow I'm off to Sydney, Australia and I have always fancied walking over the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, even though I've been told it's very over rated. Some months ago I decided to start walking "round the block" which in my case is 1/2 mile uphill, 1/2 mile downhill and 1/2 mile on the straight rather than my usual trip to the shops which is all on the flat. It's very obvious that my left leg is nowhere as strong as my right and as a consequence my back goes into spasm after about 1/8 mile. So Sydney Harbour Bridge could well have to wait until I win the lottery and visit again. I have been told that I need to consume carbs, as well as protein, to build muscle which makes sense but I'm wondering if anyone has more experience of building muscle on a low carb diet. I did try to find some of the threads that I vaguely remember touched on this subject in the past but can't see the wood for the trees. Any muscle builders out there? [/QUOTE]
