Ok so I herniated some discs a few years ago and had surgery. I haven't been able to workout my back very well and my legs are getting VERY weak. In fact, so weak it is hard for me to jog now or do any leg exercises. I want to get my lower back stronger so I can start getting back into shape and get a strong core again.
Is there a very good back brace I could buy so I could go back to squatting and dead lifting? I want to use proper form now, no more mess ups. And lighter weight. I NEED to get stronger. My lower back is so weak now that it is making my abs weak too.
Also, I have runner's knee. Patellum cartilage whatever. Where the back of the kneecap is all scraped up and causes serious pain. They gave me some braces at the Orthopedics place but they are so big and cumbersome I can barely even move my legs in them. I can't even exercise in them, it's ridiculous. Even sitting down is near impossible, my legs stick out like rods.
Anyone have suggestions for good runner knee braces?
