Hurts in the shower : ( I've got scars on my shins, and I've only been doing them for a year. I hate wearing pants, I get too hot, and that's the only way to avoid getting cut up.

BigRedBuster Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have never in my life done dead lifts. With my back problems, it just simply appears to be something that could cause major problems. What is so great about these compared to squats? Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 For me, deadlifting is key because it strengthens the entire back more than any of exercise, making it key for rehabilitation and injury prevention. You are only as strong as your core. Quote Link to comment

They are a great workout, and can really help train the "pull" in the deadlift. Quote Link to comment

They are a great workout, and can really help train the "pull" in the deadlift. RDL is slightly different than stiff legged, but they're both great for the hamstrings. I like Stiff legged better, but RDL is much easier on the back since you're keeping the bar close to your legs. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Want a good hammy lift, do Good Mornings. I do them after squats and they REALLY stretch things out. Go light on them as they also work your core and could wreck your sh#t if you try and play He-Man.. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yeah, careful on those good mornings, brutal as hell if you're not careful with the weight like Stumpy said. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well it's that time of year where I change things up and start working out in the mornings. With two kids and a fiancé at home, I like to have the spring and summer evenings with them so we can enjoy the outdoors. Lifting after work takes too much of those evenings away. I worked out Monday night then was going to come back in Tuesday morning to begin the morning routine. Set the alarm for four thirty. Problem was I didn't get to bed till eleven so four thirty seemed like it came in no time. I hit the snooze twice, the third time I reset the alarm and went back to bed for another hour. Finally this morning I got up right at four thirty. This morning stuff is going to be tough. Mince I get up and get going I love it. I work out, eat some breakfast, shower and head to work felling ready to go. It's the getting out of the damn bed that has always sucked. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 What does everyone prefer when it comes to squatting? Front or regular back squats? I've been trying front squats exclusively for the past month or so, can't do as much weight but it seems to really work the core muscles more. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I have always done back squat, but I need to work more front squat in. It is a great variation. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I use front due to my back issues, doesn't hit my lower back as much which causes me some serious frigging pain. Quote Link to comment
