Sounds like you have been having leg issues? Hope it's getting better. How's the family? All good I hope. Hi mate! Not bad. Yeah still leg issues. Family good. Nearly 1 Year wedding anniversary already and our little girl turned 5 a fortnight ago! Legs still troublesome. I have been training, some of it having to substitute squat exercises, but not been logging my training as its quite frankly pants but best I can muster up. May as well start the logging again though. 21st May Paused squat No belt Warm ups 2x137.5 2x137.5 1x160 1x160 Bench Warm ups 4x82.5 4x82.5 3x95 3x95 2x105 2x107.5 not as good Squat warm ups 5x127.5 5x127.5 4x147.5 4x147.5 Belt on 3x170 3x170 a real struggle | ||

salad dodger *missing* Member 1805, 10367 posts SQ 215, BP 121, DL 240576.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | 6th June My lower back is still really troublesome. warm bath and stretched lots last night but then woke up feeling bad again. Back extensions 12xbw 12xbw Mobility and stretching Deadlift 5x60 5x100 3x130 2x150 Straps on 4x170 4x170 4x170 Massive rest periods between each set 1x170 Fx170 and had to bail, twinge to lower right hand side of back Wanted to see if I could deadlift and keep good form but to be honest the form on first set looked off when videos Back extensions 15xbw 15xbw Left the gym feeling dizzy, sick, in pain and f**ked off. Can’t afford treatment – will have to try and sort it on my own. Waste of a session really. Should have done something more productive | ||

I was toying with idea of going to see the chiropractor, even though I can’t afford it. Sitting at work is making it worse as to be expected. In addition I felt like my head was truly up my arse today, felt really dizzy and generally s**t. Got to gym at lunchtime and had hair brained idea to try squatting, but resisted thankfully… Hyper extension / reverse hyper extension (all just bodyweight) 15 / 12 15 / 12 15 / 12 Foam rolling and stretching in between sets. Major back pump and felt worse still! Bench 8x20 5x40 5x65 6x75 6x75 5x85 5x85 4x100 7x100 PB www.instagram.com/p/BVFEQJvlprA/?taken-by=rodgerherd Went crazy. It was meant to be 2 sets of 4 to finish but set up was seemingly good and last set felt really good. Head was still spinning and 100x7 is still s**t @ 98kg but at least its some unexpected progess. Was going to do some chest supported db rows etc but felt too sick lol | ||

 he who does the volume wins Member 2498, 3652 posts SQ 160, BP 125, DL 225510.0 kgs @ 109kgs UnEq | Not good to hear back naff mate. Think mr Boar could be right, don't waste the money on a chiro! In terms of rest only you can judge if you need complete rest (and if it will help, I find it doesn't unless I can't walk as a result of bad back) or if active rest is better. When my back went I did Kettlebell stuff, swings mainly and worked my way up those. This naturally depends on what your issue is I guess. | ||
