After a lengthy warmup,

Back squats - 3 seconds down, 1 second up

6 @ 135lbs
6 @ 185lbs
6 @ 205lbs
5 @ 215lbs

Then,

Every 2 minutes on the minute, did 6 back squats at 155lbs.  5 sets total

Then, daily WOD:

20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2

Bench press(115lbs for me)
Deadlift (185lbs for me)

Partner workout.  One partner completes 20 reps of bench, 20 reps of deadlift while the other spots as necessary.  Then partner does 20 of each.  Work your way down the ladder

Took me and my partner 30:02


Then after a break, I did a 10 minute burpee challenge because it was my penalty for losing a chess game to a fellow gym member :tongue:

Did 106 burpees in 10 minutes

Yesterday was a rest day,

Two days ago was triceps, usual routine,

3 days ago was a rest day again because i was sick with flu.

4 days ago was my usual lat routine. (which was brutal because i was very sick but went at 1am in the morning so no one was there to catch my sickness, worst sore throat i had in soo long, i should have been nicer on my body but i cant help it, im an addict :blush:)


Today was Squats

Squats
(with belt)

135lb x 8 reps
225lb x 8 reps
275lb x 8 reps
295lb x 6 reps
315lb x 2 reps (could have went for another rep but im being very conscious so that my form doesnt falter at all)
295lb x 4 reps
275lb x 7 reps
275lb x 5 reps
225lb x 8 reps
225lb x 8 reps
225lb x 7 reps
225lb x 6 reps


Front squats (I did this set in between my normal squats and im not happy with my front squat strength, i think my core isnt strong enough to easily balance the bar when im bent down and my torso tends to lean forward which is no good. its a shame i was trying to ease the load on my spine and thought front squats would be a good alternative but it doesnt power my legs nearly as much as back squats at the weight i was able too, its pretty much only useful for stabilizers for the core)

135lb x 8 reps
185lb x 3 reps


Seated calve raises

15 mins of it


im alittle worried about my spine, i really dont want to make my early lower spine arthritis sped up, I cant afford to go to my chiropractor 3 times a day anymore so i have no defense on it getting worse.

and i cant find any information on if i can safely do heavy squats on it, some articles say you shouldnt exercise at all, and others say you should because it will strengthen the muscles which slows down the progression of arthritis by relieving the tension on the joints

fuck i dont know who to believe, but i really want to reach my goals and not have this fucking bullshit cut me short.

any minor pain in my lower back and i freak out even if its so superficial that its barely noticeable.

when i was younger i would sometimes get flare ups of terrible lower back pain that radiated to my stomach and id have to lie down, but i was like 4-10 when that shit was going on, so i dont know how to distinguish regular growing pains to the onset of arthritis.

I feel like the belt helps alot in supporting my spine from the heavy load, and im making sure to do foam rolling on my back because i have read that its the next best thing to actually getting an adjusted

he said if i dont fix it in 20 years i might have issues,
but im just worried that weight training might cause that shit to happen immediately. i hope im just over worrying about it.

i dont have any pain that radiated to other limbs which is a clear sign of arthritis of the spine, but yesterday and today i had a small "annoyance" in the spine that i would feel if i move it in a specific way, but i really have to "look" for the position if you know what i mean. also i had small annoyance from coughing deeply, but im pretty sure i dont have herniated disks. coughing doesnt hurt at all today though.


---------------------------------


UPDATE:

BOOOM turns out lifting belt was a GREAT call for my situation.

"Should You Wear a Weightlifting Belt? Pros



All of the upsides to wearing a belt come down to the idea of intra-abdominal force or pressure. A study done by Miyamoto, et al. found that "Intra-muscular pressure of the erector spinae muscles increased significantly by wearing the abdominal belt during Valsalva maneuvers and during maximum isometric lifting exertions". In short, if you increase the pressure in the abdomen, then you better stabilize the whole area which makes for a safer environment for the spine and can increase your ability to lift heavier weights.

Front squats are a great exercise and they work far more than your stabilizers/core once you master the technique and start to bring your weight up

There are tons of great videos out there to help you with technique.  But practice, practice, practice


Once you can get your weight climbing, you will see how they target your legs differently

On leg day, it's great to train both.  I did a doozy 4 days ago that I'm finally just recovering from lol.  I haven't been this sore in a year.  Couldn't put my socks on for 3 days :lol:

Back squats, front squats, squat snatch and deadlifts are potent assault on the legs

fronts squats just feel wayy to scary on my spine, something about back squats feel much more "secure" on my spine.

i think my risk of injury is alot higher with front squats, other than that im sure its a great exercise once you get your numbers up.

its just what i can lift with front squats is not nearly on pair in ratio to what i can lift on back squats, so my legs arent really responding at that level, im sure if i train front squats it will start to do more damage once i up the weight more.

Yeah front squats typically will be much weaker than back squats.

If you are prone to injuries on your spine or had past injuries, it's a good reason to do them, but yes, you won't wreck your legs at first like back squats because of the low weight

Training front squats will make your numbers jump fast on back squat though :laugh:

I've been only training them for a year.  They are a great tool.  I recommend Keeping the form good and weight low if necessary and mix them in on days you do back squat.  It can only help :smile:

man if i thought i could do them safely id be all over them. perhaps my form just needs work.

i cant hold it by my fingers because my flexibility is too low in that way. And the other way just makes my torso want to lean forward.
