Hey 2busy - Popping by to see how your progress is doing…Squats…hmmm…I would recommend doing to the hole a little more controlled then rushing. You can find help on how to do squats properly by going to Elitefts.com and viewing their incredible video series on squatting. This helped me tremendously. Also see if you can view the video by Charles Poliquin on squats as well. If you watch both, you can have a happy medium there.

The vids helped a lot. I needed to look up more, tended to look down, which led to the forward lean.[/quote]

X 2 I was checking out their site too. So thanks for the link too. Ha ha.
I check out your log Busy but I don’t always post.
I lurk way more in TN than I post.
You seem to be getting back to normal lifting again. Are you finished healing?

Have you tried BSS weighted Over head with DB’s? Roman had me doing these and I felt like a drunk solider just trying to stay upright and not fall on my ass.

I’m struggling balancing with dumbbells at the side…
Also, do you have something equivalent to my daily exercises? Such as stretching, mobility work, cardio (I know you do hockey, but if you do anything lighter than that… I’d count hockey as a 25pt workout)?
One more thing, I found that the easiest way to add veggies in was to buy them in those big bags from the frozen foods section and thaw as I go. Spinach and broccoli seem to be the easiest to add into things.

My balance is permanently damaged from hypothyroidism. I used to force myself to do things like Bulgarians and anterior reaches because I thought if they were sooooo hard I REALLY needed them. Sadly all I was doing was trying to BALANCE, not really managing to lift anything. My Doc finally told me I shouldn’t bother. The balance isn’t going to improve so YAY MY LIFE!!! Right now my most hated exercise is lying leg curls (hate hate hate) and yes I figure if I hate them so much I must REALLY need them so I keep them.

This is how I feel about all ab/core work.
Hi Busy!
On the single leg front I’m trying pistol squats(to a box right now) but hope to get all the way down eventually. I have a definite strength difference between them. Do you notice a difference?
Yum curry chicken, recipe?
Also was curious about your hernia is it on one side or in the middle? Meaning is it throwing off your lifts at all because one side is hurt and the other is not?
