Guys
I have a herniated disc between L4 and L5. I have always squatted using a lighter than average weight because of the strain it puts on my lower back. When I tested this morning for my 10RM on squats I was reminded why I don't usually push the limits on this one. What do you suggest I do. I start to feel pressure in my lower back area when I squat with a heavy weight. I NEED to do legs but the only way I can train them at my gym is Squats and Leg Extensions. Help please...what do you all recommend?
