I tried yesterday -- machines only. I used to rep 405 deadlifts for fun. I could only hit like 65 (one leg at a time) on laying leg curls for 10.
Also, my right leg is definitely weaker than my left -- probably a 20-30% difference, especially noticeable working the quads (which were effected by the nerve damage). I'm sure it's just psychological, but I swear the muscles in the right leg have visibly atrophied from the nerve damage.
You're right, though ... I'll get back soonish. hopefully things will be good in a month and I can slowly start using free weights again.
