So what part of the state do you hail from? You don’t have to be too specific.

Thanks, bulldog. I definately have some muscle memory coming back on the deadlifts as I could have knocked out quite a few more. I didn’t want my form to go to crap, though, so I called it quits at ten reps. I just got cleared to lift heavy and load my spine, so I don’t want to push too far too fast. The front squats felt a little heavy today, but my quads have always been a weak point for me, hence my focus on front squats.

Mechanically, I have never been a good squatter as going too far past parallel causes my hips to round. On the same token, if I widen my stance too much it begins to feel like the inside of my knees are tearing apart. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t. With back squats my glutes and hamstrings would take over if I used very much weight. The lift would begin to resemble an awkward good morning if I wasn’t careful.

When I started back up after a long time away from lifting my biggest issues were and still are.

  1. Loss of actual soft tissue strength. The muscle strength came back in a hurry but my ligaments and tendons didnt.

  2. Allot of mobility issues.
