Mad props!👍. “You are the best person to know your body.”. Yes!!! Thank you!! Doctors want to prescribe standard protocol to everyone across the board, when everyone is different. I am at (4) weeks post surgery, and this morning I put the 1/2” heel lift in my “other” tennis shoe, and walked without the boot!😮. The “doctors” would be like…”whaaaattt??!!!!”. Yeah, that’s right, my body, my choice! I am still going to be extremely careful, and humble, and grateful…but I need to get going. My livelihood depends on my body! Mind, body, and soul…focused, diverse approach. I believe, therefore I am.🙏. God bless!!❤

I’m on week 12 back in sneakers and I’m frustrated because after an hour of wearing them my foot swells up

Good info

How did you get down from the pull up bar? I am horrified to land on my surgically repaired ankle especially with weight! However, landing with all the weight on my “good” leg isn’t too exciting either. Thanks! Great vid.

3 wks post surgery, getting my cast and stitches out tomorrow .This is very tough mentally, emotionally as well as physically. Thank You for posting.

3 wks post surgery......this is rough. Thnx for the positive vibes‼️

Thanks Eric I know this video was a year ago but I recently ruptured my Achilles on June 29th 2024 I’m almost two weeks op any advice you could give me going through this process of recovery.

Your atory resonated with me. Ruptured my Achilles a month ago playing tennis. I has a trip planned with my wife and kids and was so disappointed to have to cancel. Hardest thing was that I got into really good shape since the pandemic and kept thinking that I would lose all that. Fogured out ways to get workouts (upper body) done at home with dumbells, pull up bar and bands. So able to not just maintain, but go for gains. Helps tremendously with mood and general mental state. Really love your positive attitude towards your situation/recovery. I find once you accept this happened, you can focus on the recovery and look at it as an opportunity to do other things. First few weeks are definitely tough mentally but gets better with a good attitude!

I fully ruptured mine and got surgery on may 30th, after a month ppl were asking me why i cant walk yet, and i was like wtf, how can i walk i cant even put my foot on the ground. Now at week 7-8 ive gone and removed the first wedge of the boot

Yo man, I am 6 weeks post op right now! Iam a footballplayer, thanks for the video! Glad I came across your yt channel💪

Hi Eric, I have been very encouraged by your videos. I tore my Achilles on 5/31/24. I just started therapy this past Monday. Feeling good. I would love to connect with you sometime to talk on the phone. Being a believer in Jesus, I'd love to talk to you about the gospel as well. But in general, you have been an inspiration in my journey to healing

have you rupture it again yet ? :( i'm so afrait of that.....

Thanks for all the great videos on your recovery! I’m in the same boat now and wondering - where did you go for PT in San Francisco?

You are exactly right, with this injury (and im only on day 6 of the achillis rupture) it is so saddening and daunting...not being able to do anything, pretty much being useless for now and near future...and such a long road to recovery. It eats at you, thats for certain.

Awesome video, thank you!

Way to see London brev

Well done. Beautiful scenery too.

Yo man, I have reptured my achilles and had surgery three weeks ago, do you have any tips for the recovery?

Im almost four weeks post op. Im 54 and I’ve been a runner for 36 years. Very active. I’ve been depressed but ran across your video. I’m motivated to get back stronger now. Thanks for your video🙏

I just tore my Achilles tendon 1 week ago and about to go through surgery in few days. Thank you for your journey. Love hearing your thoughts!

What's your weight bro? 😄

Thank you.

Good video. I’m currently in my 4th week.

Mane I need your calf workouts asap bro 🔥🦍

I had a full rupture at age 40 at CrossFit. I was going 5 days a week for almost 4 months and the rupture happen making a 180 hop completing my last round of shuttle sprints. I felt pretty sad and depressed coming into summer with five kids, couldn't drive (right foot). 3rd week after injury and probably 10 pounds heavier I had one of my daughters bring up dumb bells from the basement. Finished quick light upper body workout and my entire mood changed! I started doing small daily workouts. I returned to CrossFit about a week after surgery and sat on the Assault Bike and put in work. Since having my walking boot I've been going to CrossFit about 4 times a week and scaled the workouts to my capabilities. Best decision I could make was continuing any sort of fitness! Your video was inspiring and paralleled what I think my recovery approach and not only did it improve my physical health and healing but mental health as well. GREAT VIDEO and KEEP IT UP!!! You are an ATHLETE!

Well done. May 2024 i ruptured my achilles… your journey is inspirational.

Well done ❤

Good work

I’m just about 2 weeks post injury myself today. I will be posting my journey too.

Love this vlog man and you’re a god damn beast to boot!

Thanks man! I just completely ruptured mine 10 days ago and I’m a competitive power lifter. I appreciate the positivity in your video, focusing on improving what you can and getting back to having fun with fitness.

#motivation

Great video, I ruptured my achilles last week from playing volleyball. I spent years going to the gym like you trying to bulletproof my body and this happened. I feel like I am lost but watching videos gives me inspiration. I just got to get past the mental block and trust my achilles after this recovery

Great video sir!

I’m currently at 11 weeks postop doing all the exercises you’re doing. I stumbled across this channel a few weeks ago and now seeing your progress has me more than inspired, more than motivated. Thanks Eric.

Hi! Thx for the video. I’m going to buy the VACOped but I’m between sizes. For my ankle and calf circumference I’m a M but for my foot length I’m a shoes size 12 which means size L. If I buy the M my toes might stick out 1/2”. In your experience do you think having my toes stick out 1/2” is a big deal? Thx.

truly inspiring story

Dream about what I love 😭

10 days post-op, thanks for sharing your journey, it's very inspiring.

Hi Eric, can you share your workouts from month 1 to 2,3,4,5,6 and up to now? I am on week 4 and would like to try your program. I am about your height and weight with little less max bench press so I feel like you are my perfect role model for this challenge of getting back to 100 and beyond!

Congrats on the PR and continued progress!! I tore my Achilles a couple weeks ago playing basketball and am due to get my splint off Friday (22 March). How was the transition back to minimalist footwear? (I love my Xero and Vivobarefoot shoes). Also, do you know where I could find an affordable VACOped?
