Squatting isn't doing my back any good. Member 5108, 869 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 210505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Saturday. I don't always do anything on Saturdays and if I do I tend to treat it mainly as a conditioning session. Got bored of my limited dumbbell workout, so decided to do some press-ups. -Also because I reckon they're pretty good for general conditioning, as they work the core to some extent. x20, x20, x20, x20, x20, x20, x20, x20, x20, x20 Spread these out over about 2hrs. Pretty lazy, but still felt like I had done some work afterwards. | ||

Squatting isn't doing my back any good. Member 5108, 869 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 210505.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Monday - squats Back was feeling a little ropey over the weekend after cleans on Thurs. Abs tensed throughout squat for all reps. (60) x8 v.good - no problem hitting depth and almost no back discomfort (80) x6 v. good (100) x6 good -belt on- (115)x4 good - technique was fine and these were still comfortable Stopped at 4 as haven't been this''heavy' due to back injury and not wearing a belt for several months. Haven't been this happy to squat 115 for reps for years. Bench (60) x8 feeling a bit tired - probably from squats plan was to do 10 reps on next set, which would have been first time ever doing 10xbodyweight (82.5) x6 v. tired, x5 better, x5 good, x5 good Military Press (45) x8, x6, x5 Hamstring curls x15, x15 Vibro-plate craziness 1x45 secs. Decent workout. I hope I am on the mend. We'll see on Thurs... | ||

 We all live as we chose. Member 5051, 866 posts SQ 157.5, BP 95, DL 220472.5 kgs @ 61.1kgs UnEq | Good to see your squat steadily improving. Do you find any benefit/changes from the numerous press-ups? | ||

Do you find any benefit/changes from the numerous press-ups? Dziendobre! I mostly do the press-ups just for a low-key bit of training on a saturday and as an alternative to dumbbells when I get bored of my limited home dumbbell workout. I think they are good for core strength though (basically a plank with a bit of light pressing thrown in) and as my primary goal is still fat loss - with minimal muscle/strength loss - I think they are useful. | ||
