There are a small percentage (5-10%)of patients who can compete in high level sports without an ACL (“copers”) without recurrent instability of the knee. However, most people cannot return to this level of competition without recurrent issues. All patients who do not have their ACL reconstructed will show some radiographic evidence of deterioration of their knee joint within 5-7 years, even if they don’t have any meniscal damage at the time of injury. From time to time, I have patients like Nicky who come several years after injury who have reconsidered and want a delayed reconstruction. These patients all show a characteristic pattern of cartilage wear at the time of presentation.
@@dogshake IT is quite possible that he was a “Coper”, but fortunately with baseball, it is mostly running in one direction without a lot of direction change. This type of activity puts less stress on the ACL.
@@EmbddedJiuSage I have treated a few athletes like this. Unfortunately, their bodies can’t keep up with their talent. FWIW, my least compliant athletes are MMA fighters and BJJ athletes.
He is so cool. And whatshisnamebrother is not. I refer to him as Nicky Ryan's brother. Because everybody has always labeled Nicky with Gordon Ryan's brother. Way more cool.
I think he was right about the back being the most important. I think leg dexterity is important but I've never been in a situation on the mat where my leg strength was a limiting factor.
@@michaelmorris6986 your back is necessarily connected and rooted into the ground by your legs. If your toes, ankles, or knees are weak then your back is limited. For this reason I think overall leg strength is most important. Passing guard you’re on your toes constantly and in a squat, your legs will always burn our first.
Gordon ryan also mentioned that he trains legs less often than other muscles, in his view the leg getting too muscular with volume would get in the way.
@@alexcardoso4487 there’s a difference between functional strength and traditional strength. The former is what I referring to and comprises strength of ligaments and tendons, which are used extensively during many movements of jiujitsu
In his defense from a random nobody on the internet, I tore my bicep in bjj 4yrs ago and I've never done peds. Honestly my story is kinda similar to his, no warm up, and was doing bro shit in the gym getting those bis pumped.
No, not at all. ACL prevent anterior (forward) movement of your knee, without it you are not only far more likely to injury other knee ligaments (due to the instability) but the increase movement will lead to increased wear and tear, thus arthritis later in life. This is for the majority of people. Remember that everyones anatomy can be slightly different , someone may have increased stability due to their articulating portions of their knee joint and they would be able to tolerate such an injury better than others.
Depends on how strong your quads are. I tore mine in a session, finished the roll, sat out, went to lunch and it swelled up crazy. Couldn’t function even months after thinking it was a minor sprain. There’s some guys who have an amazing amount of muscle that over corrects the lack of stability

Nicky is extremely rare talent but apparently if doesn’t get reached out and helped his career might be short lived. He is too tough for his own good.
Didnt Micky Mantle trip in a game, then play 17 years in MLB without ever getting his torn ACL looked at? Nuts.
@@dogshake baseball I believe isn’t as taxing on the knees like Wrestling/nogi bjj

I wish there was more and more Nicky Ryan

Jesus I tore my acl in feb and did a Nicky by doing nothing till surgery in oct 🤯. He’s a monster.
Nicky Rod is completely taking his leg strength for granted when he answered that first question. Legs are easily the most important muscle for JJ

@@samhangster I understand is that Gordon's training is basically a bodybuilder's routine
Craig Jones is freakin hilarious 😂
Took me a while to realise that Nicky is Gordon's brother
Bro Craig Jones is so funny
This podcast is the most guy thing I've seen in years 😂
Bicep tears 👀
In his defense from a random nobody on the internet, I tore my bicep in bjj 4yrs ago and I've never done peds. Honestly my story is kinda similar to his, no warm up, and was doing bro shit in the gym getting those bis pumped.
He looks like hughie from the boys
9:07 it's probably just an extra part you don't need, right? He says it feels better now anyway.

No no this is not possible to compete or train without ACL
So he’s just lying? He’s got nothing to gain from that
@@StuffAndMemes I'm not saying that he is lying. I have same injury and not be able to do shit, my knee will give out on almost any cross move.
Sounds like a skill issue. Git gud
Look up Spencer Lee who wrestled at a high level with 0 ACLs, also multiple athletes across sports who train/compete with no ACL.
