Even light squats aggravate it, so squats are out for now.

Light deads (relatively speaking ofcourse) don't seem to bother it, so I've been doing those, plus some upper body exercises. However...

Great to see you back at it David!

Your progress is coming along just great. I'd say, stick with the SS as long as it's working.

And clearly something is working - the break, extra eating etc....

The amount of volume and intensity you put into each and every single workout of yours is simply mind-boggling Dave!

The BB shoulder press is coming along very nicely!

Thanks for dropping by Dave. I'll check my inspiration log tonight (your log). I'm sure you're killing the weights as usual.

The sciatica is holding me back and has derailed my strength...

Hi guys, I apologize about ignoring you.

I have been nursing a sciatica injury in my right leg. A consequence of the basement reno. Needless to say I have not been able to lift much since mid...

Thanks David.

So far so good. Crossing fingers. No issues with shoulders...... yet



If I can increase the weights progressively over time, my body will have no choice but to get stronger...

Thanks Ken!

I have to stop doing deads, back squats for some time because of continuous hamstring tightness and some cyatica type pain in my right calf and pain. It may be a herniated disc...

The weights are lighter than I would like to use, but I get a good sweat and I lift the weights fairly fast on the concentric phase, so I end up generating more tension compared to lifting at normal...

Great to read your goals for 2010 David!

Goals are an awesome way to continue pushing yourself and striving harder to be your absolute best. Not only do you have goals, but your goals are...

Thanks Jason. The basement is coming along - certainly no where near as quick as I'd like it to, but progress is certainly happening. You're absolutely right about the potential family time we...

It is a lot of volume and a lot of cardio rolled into together. I love it considering that I have a Martial Arts background and had to stop TaeKwonDo because of a knee injury (which has since...
