As some of you now I have only just started getting back in to ATG Squats, this is what I went 60x10, 100x10, 130x10, 140x12, 100x10, which makes me 1RM 202~. I'll probably bump everything up by 10kgs for the next session and see how we do. Also have started doing single leg hack squats (10 a leg x 4 after squats) which give quite a decent burn. Single leg leg press still has a bit of go, managed to get up to 160kg, was pressing 200kg single leg prior to surgery. Chest today, might try a set of 150kg if I'm feeling it, if not definitely 140kg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question whether some of these exercises this physio has given me are doing more harm then good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 3m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 20/03/13 12:58 AM Share Posted 20/03/13 12:58 AM I have had a similar feeling doing leg curls, always insure your calves are stretched out. When you leg curl you will notice the higher you go in the curl, the more your feet/toes point up causing your calves to tighten. Pointing your feet down a little will help counteract this, but make the lift harder. What other exercises are you doing? try do any balance work near a wall, so you can catch or assist yourself if needed. Like I said, try not to push through any pain.

Currently for strength I have:Single leg arabesque with single dumbbell in opposite hand Single leg calf raisesLeg curlsNordic dropsBarbell box squatsFor balance/prop I haveSingle leg wobble boardSide hop with band around hipsJump and land on single leg with band around hipsBilateral step ups with weights2x20min bike machine3x2km jogs per weekSpoke to the PT at my gym and he said he wouldn't do the exercises in that order. He also said Nordics apparently aren't a good exercise. At our gym we have a a squat rack and then in a separate area away from all the weights we have racks for doing deads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our gym we have a a squat rack and then in a separate area away from all the weights we have racks for doing deads, Olympic lifts, squats etc. this is where I do my balance work as I can just hold on to an empty barbell for balancing plus the area is usually quiet every night so People don't see me marching on one of those balance bubbles like a goose!
